Václav, Czech Republic

It's a nice and cozy place with a good location. The owner was very helpful, we bought our tickets to Bagan here, because he offered the best price. Altogether, I can't complain, we had a pleasant stay here.

Borisz, China

Very friendly staff and extremely cheap (for Myanmar). The showers have great water pressure and are very clean for shared bathrooms. The rooms are equiped with air-conditioning, which can be essential in the Yangon heat. Breakfast ist decent and there are free water refills. Great value for money.

When we booked a bus with them they charged us nearly double the price! Do kot book with these people! You can book easily youself online. For a taxi to the bus station they wanted to have more than the taxi drivers on the street. This was really a scam! We had to check out 10 mins before breakfast started. They did not want to serve anything to us. Not even some fruit to take away. That was poor service. The bathrooms were very smelly and not clean at all. You did not want to touch anything there. The room was very small and not well equipped, there was only a bed in it.
Beds were clean.

Room was too small with no natural light/air. If you have a rather passionate partner than forget about making love in the room or the whole hostel will hear it (probably give you a good cheer at the end too). Stairs leading to the premises smell of dog urine.
Staff were pleasant. Good WiFi connections. Warm showers.

Room smelled cigarette smoke and has no window. They should mention that in the booking page. Stairway going to the hotel reception and rooms were also smelly. Shared restrooms also had a pungent odor.
Cheap price. Room only good for sleeping and not staying inside.

There are no windows in the rooms. We struggled a little bit with finding the hostel, no sign on the doors, but there is a lightening sign placed up on the building
Very nice and helpful staff, we could store our luggage after check out and later take a shower before we left. Rooms are simple but the price is reasonable. Good breakfast including toast, egg, butter, jam, fruit,coffe and tea.
