The staff was incredibly helpful and extremely friendly. They arranged a pick-up from the airport, bustickets and taxi to the bus station and everything worked perfectly. The hostel has a nice little outdoor seating area and they do delicious shan noodles. Free drinking water is a plus and they even packed us the breakfast when we had to leave early. Good Wi-Fi.

The location is in the center of Yangon. Easy access to some popular places like Sule Pagoda, City Hall, and Mahar Bandula Park. I love their breakfast. They have a different dish every day. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable with curtains for your privacy which I liked. The staffs are nice.

There was a power outage for a full morning and the staff did not present any explanations. They once tried to get inside the (private) room while we were there with no justification. Internet was hard to connect. Breakfast is not what usually expects, as they serve you a noodle soup and not the usual toast or eggs, nor coffee. There are only 3 tables so you will have to cram together with other people. The room is tiny and all rooms are right on top of the reception area, which means you’ll get lots of noise from outside. There are no windows as well.
Staff speaks good English and is often around to help. Aircon is good, and electricity in the room doesn’t require key card. Late check-out was provided free of charge. Location is good, there are a few convenience stores and restaurants nearby.

This hostel definitely doesn't deserve such high reviews!! It's really nothing special, poor management (my friend booked a room which turned out to be full that night), no common area to hang out besides the dining place which is basically a reception and HORRIBLE laundry service. I gave them white clothes (and explained 10 times that they have to be washed separatly, not with colour things) and it came all with yellow stains which i think won't be possible to remove. I got refund for the laundry fee but my two t-shirts are ruined. Definitely wouldn't stay there again

Bed very uncomfortable. Could feel the metal bars from underneath the very thin mattress. Very limited hot water...ran out after only a few minutes into the shower. No chilling out common space except the breakfast area (which is also the hostel reception area), all under the watchful eye of the owner. The place lacks soul. But I guess that's Yangon for you in a nutshell...
It's safer than the previous hostel I stayed at in Yangon where I was robbed while I was asleep

we stayed here 3 times in our time in Myanmar because the staff were so helpful and pleasant. Maung helped organise so much of our trip and made it all the better with his advice. The rooms are well air conditioned, the breakfast is delicious, the beds are comfortable and super private (excellent curtains), great showers with hot water and great pressure. Lots of activities put on by the hostel, great social area to meet people, water refills as well. Super flexible with check in and check out times.

Nothing- I loved everything about this hostel! Maybe the bathrooms could be a little bit cleaner? But really not that big of an issue. I loved everything about this hostel :)
I love supporting small family businesses so this hostel was a perfect hostel to choose! I was debating between a few & am so glad I chose this one! The reviews were right- it’s the best. First of all, the entire staff (night staff), owner Maung, and his wife were all phenomenal. There was another lady (I forget her name) who took me and my friend on a day market tour- she was so sweet! Maung was SO helpful though in helping me plan my trip in Myanmar. Thankfully for him, he told me about a festival going on so I totally changed my entire plans so I could go (so glad he told me!!) The place is super easy to meet people, they have activities every day (make sure to look! I didn’t realize until a day later & missed a tour). The rooms were clean, bed was comfy, AC worked fantastically, WiFi was strong, never had to wait for a bathroom or shower, location is good- about a 20 min walk to the pagoda. Restaurants nearby, etc. I really enjoyed my stay here. You can also get a SIM card there which was awesome! The food at the hostel is really good too! Maung was just so fantastic... I heard of other hostels in Yangon not being helpful with planning or booking anything... not the case here! Maung went above and beyond for every single one of his guests! He was so funny too! I loved talking to him. I definitely recommend staying here! I totally will stay here every time I visit Yangon!
