San Chaung hotels & places to stay

First time in myanmar , i really liked this hotel , the gym and pool are top notch , best equipped hotel gym that i have been to in a long time , breakfast is great , big choice of different food styles , staff were super friendly , rooms were of high standard easily as good as 5 star hotels . Really enjoyed my stay , only thing is its a little far from downtown and not a great deal in the area , but if you want a super hi quality hotel with exceptional gym , pool and restaurant facilities that is good value i would recommend this hotel.

Quick response when requesting an airport pickup. Only charged me half since there was one other party at the airport to transport to hotel. Most hotels would still charge you full price. Quick and easy check in with Agoda booking already paid in full. The staff accommodated my high floor request. Helpful advice for shopping and taxi. Walking to Shwedagon felt a bit farther due to heat. Since taxis are inexpensive, I suggest just taking one there and back. Hotel provided a card so taxis would have no issue returning you to hotel. Money changer a short walk away. Breakfast was good. Rooftop provides a decent view of Shwedagon. Nothing up there otherwise. I'm assuming they have plans for this areas. Safe in room, easy to operate. I loved the gorgeous black tile in the bathroom. You can tell that this hotel has been upgraded recently. I did hear the dogs early in the morning as mentioned by other reviewer. I provided my domestic air ticket info to hotel but was dropped off by their driver at the international terminal instead. Fortunately it was only a 2 minute walk next door to the domestic terminal. Rather than charge me the $25 US they normal charge for airport pickup, I was only charged 8,000 to be dropped off at airport which is the normal taxi fare. I appreciated the fair charging for these incidentals. Very refreshing to see since this is not always the case elsewhere in the world. Staff aimed to please and requested a review which means good service is a priority. I highly recommend this hotel. The price was an excellent value, even when factoring in the taxi fares.

We originally booked for a few days but just extended our stay to 2 weeks. The rooms are excellent value for money - brand new western standard hotel room with comfy beds, hot water and great pressure, fridge, AC. very clean, daily housekeeping. Breakfast I'd also great value, choice of your style of eggs, noodles, soup, vegetable, toast, butter & jam, coffee and tea. Definitely a rare find at this budget. The location is in San Chaung close to numerous restaurants, groceries 24h at City Mart 10 min walk, 15 min walk to closest train station for cicular train, 15 min walk to People's park and 25 min walk to the pagoda. I truly enjoy the neighborhood. It can be loud a bit at night because of all the dogs but so is the rest of Yangon. We had a few issues, as any new hotel can experience and Harry, the ops manager, was extremely helpful and always eager to see how he could make us feel more comfortable. Overall great value for money. We saw numerous hotels downtown but decided to stay here, most hotels at 30$ offer a run down bathroom, poor matresss and poor choice of breakfast. Worth being away form downtown and it's easily accessible anyhow.

This hotel was the best hotel I stayed in while on holiday in Myanmar. They were running a promotion since they are renovating so I got a great deal. Only $14 US. Usually $35. The hotel was super clean with a friendly staff. Although they don’t speak much English. With the little English they knew they were able to help me get to the Golden rock temple. They were so kind and generous. The room was impeccable. The most comfortable bed I’ve slept in, in at least a year while traveling across Southeast Asia for the past 3 years. Cold AC, hot shower, 2 bottles of free water, and 2 free coffee packets. No free breakfast. There are plenty of restaurants nearby and a farmers market. Also full of shopping. It’s only a 25 minute walk to the famous Swedagon temple. People’s Park, and the Thai Embassy if you are getting a visa for Thailand. Highly recommend. Even when they go back to their regular pricing.

on arrival, the hotel changed us dollars to myanmar kyat at a very favorable exchange rate and i used the hotel to change dollars every time i needed to my entire stay. the front desk staff assisted me in making multiple phone calls when i was trying to track down several local business men i had not been in touch with for twelve years. they tried repeatedly in these attempts and were always ready to assist me. when i had to travel to various locations in yangon on business, including my return to the airport, they always negotiated a good taxi rate for me and told me not to pay more than the price they had negotiated. i made numerous calls from my room but was never charged for the calls. i was concerned about the wifi service at the hotel, because of negative comments by other travelers, but with a couple exceptions, i had good connections throughout my stay. i think their wifi service was as good as most hotels and much better than many others in which i have stayed. i requested a late checkout, because i had meetings until after 1:00 pm and needed to delay checkout until 3:00 pm, which they approved with no additional charge. i'm sure if they were fully booked they could not have done this and i am not saying they would or could do this all the time, but when i needed the late checkout, they accommodated me. my stay at the hotel windsor was very pleasant, good value for the money and outstanding staff. i would recommend it to others and would stay there again on my next trip to yangon.

My friend and I found the customer service to be exceptional. We had accidentally booked a double bed, and they were able to switch us into a twin room. Seems minor, but I'm quite sure the twin room ended up being a "free upgrade". We were also leaving Yangon on a night bus, and hoped we could have a late checkout. We had gone down to inquire, simply asked "what time is checkout?", and the response was basically telling us regular checkout out time and "you can stay late if you want, no problem".. They let us check out at 7pm! I'm sure this can't be accommodated when the hotel is booked, but it was just a reflection of the great customer service. Another bonus is the rooftop restaurant. It was easily the best food we had in Myanmar. It has such a lovely atmosphere, and seems to be frequented by expats and those working in Myanmar. I'm a vegan, and there were tons of options, or adjustments that could be made to give me a large selection of food.

Of all the hostels I have stayed in all over the world, this is my favorite. The staff are fantastic, epitomizing the kindness and friendliness of the people of Myanmar. The front staff's English speaking skills are also very good and they are very knowledgeable about Yangon and helpful when directions are required. The surrounding San Chaung neigbourhood is very interesting also, and the Shwedagon Pagoda is a mere 10 minute walk away. The morning breakfast is a real treat, as it is fresh, local cuisine but minus the heavy oils you often find at street tea shops. The beds are super comfortable; the showers are great; and there is a decent amount of privacy in the 4 person dorms. And on top of it, it always felt quite quiet at the PTH and relaxing, which is nice for the more 'mature' traveler. I can't say enough good about this place. My only regret is that with such outstanding service there is little doubt that getting a booking here currently and in the future will become harder and harder as I don't think there is much comparable accommodation in Yangon for the price.

We only stayed one night at Hotel Mila Noa but everything was excellent and even the staff went beyond fantastic to accommodate our needs. Firstly, getting to the Hotel from the airport can be tricky as even the taxi drivers can't locate the place exactly. Just a tip, just inform them it's near Dagon Center and you'll find it on a block across it inside an alley full of small local restaurants. Building is color purple so you'll spot it easily. The staff were excellent especially Ella. All of them were very informative about the city and always willing to help with a smile. Some staff are not very fluent in english but there will always be one on station that is adept in english. As I've said, we only booked for one night, we arrived on a Friday, and left Saturday evening for the rest of our Myanmar trip. We went back to Yangon after 6 days away and we are allowed to leave our luggage at the hotel. Even allowed us to use the bathroom on the ground floor to refresh ourselves after a long bus trip from Nyaung Shwe. Also able to use wifi at the lobby while waiting for our flight. They even called taxi for us going to the airport and highway bus terminal at a decent price 6,000 kyats. Rooms are spacious enough and clean. Location is OK. Tricky to find at first but can get used to. Near Shwedagon Pagoda but still have to take taxi. There's a convenience store near in front. Breakfast is plated and decent. Wifi is great for Myanmar standards. Will definitely recommend this hotel to others. Excellent.

Nice location, great facilities, pleasant staff and accommodating management (owner is cool) BUT I found a bedbug, just one, but still enough to lead to the possibility they multiply and become a problem. The owner seemed very open to hearing about and addressing the issue, so hopefully the problem is eradicated before your stay. If you get bit in the middle of the night, don't assume it's a mosquito, turn on your phone light and check for fast crawling little critters similar to size and shape of baby cockroaches! and whatever you do, keep you bags zipped and stuff packed away inside and preferably leave you stuff in the lockers in the hall.. you don't want to take these home with you AND you don't want to spread them around!
