Seen better days.

Friendly and polite service let down by a very old, tired and dated building. Convenient location for grabbing a taxi around the city and there are some good restaurants nearby (Marie Min for yummy vegtarian food and Rainforest for Thai and for doing laundry!). I wouldn’t return until the rooms are upgraded and all bathrooms are equipped with separate showers - having a shower over the toilet in an old wet style bathroom is not pleasant and does not match the photos. Breakfast is bland.

Great stay!

Good location. Friendly staff- very approachable. No much variety for breakfast but the soup and sticky rice are the best!! It was quite noisy for the room (405) by the main road. We didn't sleep well because of this. When we changed to the other side (402), it was much quieter. No lift is available. So need to climb up.

Tiny, shabby rooms

Cons: Maybe because the hotel is quite old, the rooms look very shabby and worn inside. The room I had was also extremely tiny with merely a size of a king bed but no any other furniture. A lot of mosquitoes and spider nets in the room. Electricity got cut out frequently. The door is not sound proof. Pros: Good location. Very good breakfast. Helpful staff.

Quaint but comfortable

Older building needing some work but quaint and comfortable. Well located. And the staff deserve an extra half star. Other reviewers berated the breakfast but it was OK, and how much can you expect on this budget?

Good. Would choose better location next time.

Nice facility and staff. The rooms feel old, could use some general sprucing up. Location was OK but not great. Difficult to walk anywhere, and all the good places to see were a taxi or motorized rickshaw drive away.

Friendly and Basic

Small, friendly hotel. Staff was extremely helpful. Room was basic but comfortable. Good wifi. No bathtub, shower sprays directly on bathroom floor (which isn't unusual for smaller hotels in Asia). Many restaurants nearby but you still have to take a taxi to most of the main sights since it's about a 45-minute to an hour walk to the northeast corner of the palace walls.

Really loved staying here. Great staff, so helpful and attentive. Close to two very good restaurants. Central location. Hotel was very helpful in booking us transportation for custom tours, boat tickets, etc. Good breakfast. Only reason gave slightly lower review for property quality is there was a hole in our bathroom floor and floor gets really wet during a shower.

OK hotel.

The first person we met at front desk spoke little English and he wasn't very helpful. we had booked a king size bed and when we got to the room there was no king size bed but instead 2 twin size beds. I complainedand asked for the room we had booked and I they didn't have any room so they just pull the beds together which is fine but they didn't change sheets to fit a king size bed they left on the twin bed sheets. I was too tired to complain.... bathroom was OK. Location OK. wouldn't stay here again.

not comparable to other 50$ hotels in Myanmar

$50 typically reserves a very nice room in this country. This hotel should have been 15-20$ due to its cleanliness and upkeep. We were surprised when we arrived but we were very late getting in and just needed to sleep. We would have changed hotels if we showed up during the day.
