        Great experience ”

        Our overall stay at Gemsy Hotel was great. Nice and perfectly clean big rooms, great food and very polite staff.  Location is also very good, so the price is more than reasonable. We highly recommend the place. Plus short story: When we arrived, unfortunately I forgot my phone in a random taxi. The hotel owner and his family helped us the hole afternoon till evening to get it back ❤️. Keep up the good work! Kind regards Ramona and Chris

        Located next to the Baho Street, in an easy to understand location. ”

        However, since the train track is not maintained, it is difficult to cross the railroad crossing by car. I was surprised that there was no window glass in the window frame of the reception, but after 3 nights glass was already in frame. The exterior of the hotel will be complete this month. Because of the new hotel, the bed was new and comfortable. Best if it is a little cheaper. There is a large Chinese KTV opposite the hotel, and there are concerns that many Chinese will stay in the future. But I will use this hotel again.

        Staff upgraded me a room with bathtub. Rooms are not sound proof. Slipper should place in bathroom. The rest all are great and I recommend this hotel to anyone who's going to stay. Thank you.

        The location of Gemsy hotel is not convenient. But it is easily to call taxi by using Grab. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Room is clean, bed is comfortable.

        Generally good hotel that has some downs which are justified by the price. Rooms clean, staff friendly and trying to help. Breakfast very simple, WiFi occasionally not working.

        Wrong room size! ”

        I had been in Myanmar for more than a month already and I decided to try another hotel which is cheaper, but has good reviews. I booked a standard room which says it is 20 sq. meter. I was very disappointed. It was only about 12 sq. m. So I a upgraded to superior room which is supposed to be 30sq. m. I was again disappointed because it was only abou 15sq.m. I needed a spacious room because I continue my work in my hotel and I need space to move about when I grow restless. I was thinking of extending my stay for another week, but I didn't anymore. For 1-3 days stay, itvwould have been ok. The staff are friendly and polite. Very limited selection of food, however.

        Nothing in the area; breakfast is very simple, and if you don't like eggs, then all you can eat is nothing. Egg is in everything. But, the staff are helpful and friendly. The only good about the place is the staff.

        Cockroach infestation!”

        I have never come to a hotel with such a serious cockroach infestation! There were easily 20 cockroaches big or small in the room! They were hiding around and every now and then, one will pop up! OMG, I never wanted to be so negative in my comments, but this is the worst cockroach infested hotel that I have experienced!
