Find hotels near Dagon in Yangon, Myanmar

I have recently come back from Burma after visit family there and we decided to spend a couple of night in a hotel so that we could see Burma for ourselves. The ParkRoyal was a wonderful experience, I have a Spa and visited all the buffet choices, the international Buffet, Chinese Buffet and The Japanese Buffet which was my favorite. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the Hotel was walking distance from Markets and the Shwe Dagon Pagoda, if you can't walk in the heat then a taxi ride was only 2000 kyat pretty much anywhere from the hotel. I will definately go again, Thanks Agoda!!

A boutique hotel, location is central hence moving around to places of interest are rather convenient. Had an issue during my stay and their acknowledgement on the matter & speed in resolving it was rather impressive. Comparable to a 5-star hotel service, anytime! While the room is small in size (Good Room type), you have everything you need. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast spread is limited (breads, muffin, limited cold meat) and they offer 1 main course from their morning menu, which I think is insufficient considering the portion served. Increasing the portion by 20-30% will be more satisfying. A good place for dinner, tasty choices of meals & portion served is sufficient compared to morning breakfast. They have a live band playing on Friday night - enjoyable. It will be my choice of hotel when I travel back to Yangon, without hesitation. However, do take note that this is a NON-Smoking hotel. You are allowed to smoke outside. Well done to the Operation Manager & the front office

Great hotel with great location, great staff, great services and we got a great deals as well. If you stay over weekend, you will have lot of chances to see Myanmar wedding reception ceremonies. 5 mins by taxi to Dagon Center where you can enjoy night life with some shopping malls. Surrounding area is very clean and safe. Only 10mins taxi to downtown or China town and the river. 5 stars for the staff. Thank you.

Governors residence What can you say? This hotel offers old world charm with a very "boutique" feel to it. Yes there are more modern establishments in town with larger pools, lots of marble and mirrors in the lobby but, if you want excellent service and a great, understated colonial style retreat in the city then you have to go quite a distance to beat this. The main body of the hotel which incorporates the restaurants, shops and bars has been tastefully formed from the original governors house that was built in the 1920's. The gardens and ponds surrounding the property are incredibly lush and even have a resident pair of peacocks. The pool area is quiet and provides an excellent respite from the city. The rooms are housed in more modern blocks to the rear of the original building but have been seamlessly grafted on and feel as though they have always been there. An earlier reviewer mentioned that neighbours could be heard, which is true but the same can be said for any hotel and I can honestly say that it never became an issue for us. We dined at both restaurants and the food and service was excellent in both. A special mention has to be made of the buffet-style curry table, a must for any curry lover with a choice of around 10 different curries as well as a grill station serving prawns and assorted satays accompanied by unlimited draught beer and soft drinks! When you consider that the room rate includes without a doubt the best breakfast buffet in town and complimentary minibar it's no surprise that this hotel remains consistently the best place to stay in Yangon. Try it, you won't be disappointed!

Really enjoyed our honeymoon stay. Had a Junior suite, expensive by Burmese standards, but comfortable and clean. The hotel food was clean and safe in a town with a lot of dodgy hygiene, and the location was great. The staff were helpful, and would get you a taxi and arrange the price: 2000 kyat (2 US) to downtown or the Shwe Dagon Pagoda (go early, it's hot!), 8000 to the airport. A short walk from the hotel is Htwe Oo Puppetry, a 'must see'. Also, see the Sule Pagoda at night, (open until ten) , quite fabulous! Breakfast at the hotel was excellent, both western and eastern. Have the man make you an omelette to order! Room service was also good and fast, same price as the restaurant. Buy a lungi at the Boyoke market (opens at 9 but arrive early to sit and have tea and watch real life as the locals get ready for their day). A lungi is great for their climate (lets the air flow and keeps the Mosquitos off), and covers your legs like you need to to enter temples. And you will get a lot of positive interactions from the Burmese! Have fun, but bring your meds. The hygiene is improving, but still terrible. My wife got sick, but happily there are a few clinics around where the speak English and know how to handle Travelers dysentery. The hospital across the street from the hotel is right out of the dark ages, so forget that. I really enjoyed Yangone, but it's not for the faint of heart. Stay hydrated! The local draft beer is really great! 600 kyat a glass! Cheers!

very good price for the modern style room. Location was central and not so far from the airport. Bathroom was modern but simple and lacked some features like extra towels and personal care items. Dry cleaning NOT available the same day even when I offered to pay double - only available the next afternoon regardless of the time I turned it in the day before. Staff were great and spoke English well enough. Wifi in the room was strong and reliable. Room style was modern and the bed, linens, and pillows were quality and comfortable. Hotel has a nice warm friendly feel. 10 minute walk to the Shwe Dagon Pagoda.

We stayed at the Yuzana Garden Hotel and were treated to much more than our usual travel budget allows. The hotel, while old and not highly occupied, was clean, spacious and the rooms were well appointed for a longer stay. The bathroom was large and had a bathroom a treat for children / travelling / in Asia not accustomed to baths in bathtubs. The breakfast buffet was varied and delicious. The staff were friendly and obviously well versed in providing 5 star service. The location was amazing - just walking distance to downtown and Boyoke Market. We throughly enjoyed our stay here and wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you.

Highly recommended. The hotel is within walking distance (about 1km) from the Shwe Dagon, there is a great noodle place nearby, near to Bogyoke market. The hotel also has a great rooftop bar that serves decent food and drinks, and also has a view of the Shwe Dagon. Hotel also has free wifi (though it gets slow during peak internet usage periods). Couldn't have asked for more.

I would highly recommend this place especially for those of us on a budget but could do with some level of comfort. The room may seem small but most importantly is clean, and is an insignificant 'issue' if you're spending most of the day outside and just returning in the evenings to retire/ sleep. The toilets/ bathrooms are shared by its kept clean. The staff is very friendly and does their best to ensure you are happy and comfortable. I planned to be here only for a few days but decided to extend my stay in this guest house for all the reasons mentioned above, but also the location is strategic and I was able to walk to most place i.e. downtown, bogyoke market, chinatown etc - usually within 10-20 minutes (traffic in Yangon can be quite painful so it is easier to walk). There are many decent places to eat around the guest house too.

Good location and close to everything. Twa win center and shwe dagon is in walking distance. people's park and culture valley shopping center is nearby. Room is large, but I saw cockroaches. Air-con in the roon didn't work well either. breakfast is in JP style but bad, not fresh, too salty. Lobby is good in high ceiling and deco, but usually no people in the counter to serve, like when I was checking in in the morning. Nobody there and no one to help luggages. Rooftop is skype bar, good view and good for a drink after a day. the water flow is just too small when shower. Hard to wash hair especially my hair is long. in short, good for location only.

I have to thank the staff at Diamond Crown for their 5-star service at a budget hotel. Really incredibly helpful and friendly with great English skills. Always smiling, always going out of their way. At check-out, a member of housekeeping noticed that I left shirts in the closet and rather than just pointing it out, he took the shirts out and carefully folded them for me. I have never had such good service at much more expensive hotels.
