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.

The hotel is located in a hidden alley that's just a short stroll from the beautiful Shwedagon Pagoda, which I found really convenient. I was pleased with the friendly and attentive staff, although the rooms were smaller than I expected based on the photos. Also, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, as the meals were not up to par.

I stayed at this hotel recently and enjoyed my time overall, but there were a few drawbacks. The location is quite nice as it’s away from the hustle and bustle of downtown, plus I had a lovely view of Shwedagon Pagoda from my room. However, the room was on the smaller side and not as clean as I would have liked. The service varied, with some staff being friendly and helpful, while others weren't very approachable. Still, for the price, I think I got decent value for my stay.
