I recently stayed at this hotel and found a lot to like about it. The location is quite convenient for visiting Shwedagon Pagoda, and the service from the staff was warm and welcoming. However, the dining options were a bit lackluster, and while my room had a great view, it could use some improvements in comfort. Overall, it’s decent value for the area, but there are a few areas that could be enhanced.
