OONEWORLD_DEVELOPERI was worried about choosing this hotel in a hurry due to visa issues, but
it was a great value for the money, and I'm grateful for the wonderful memories I had.
Pros: I think it's a good place to stay for the price. It's conveniently located, close to attractions and restaurants, and the river view, temples, and sunrises and sunsets from the 9th-floor restaurant are fantastic. The rooms are spacious and clean. However, keep in mind that it's an older hotel. Not only the staff at the front desk, but all the staff were friendly and their bright smiles, true to the Mingalaba country, made me feel good. The hotel is run by a Chinese person, so there are many Chinese guests. The Chinese owner and her children were friendly and sweet, which made my stay enjoyable. The encounters with the 30- and 31-year-old Chinese travelers I met there were also precious. The hotel staff, who were all 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 25 years old, always had bright and cheerful smiles, making for a wonderful stay.
Cons: Due to Myanmar's current nature, power outages and poor Wi-Fi are common. Breakfast is a mixed bag. The lobby is extremely hot due to the lack of air conditioning. The hotel itself is old, with numerous leaks and areas in need of repair. The gym is no longer there, so there are no exercise facilities.
From my perspective as a developer, I can see that the Chinese owner of the rental business is working hard, but profitability issues and the uncertainties surrounding Myanmar are posing significant challenges and concerns.
Conclusion: If you're looking for value and friendly staff, this hotel is a good choice. If you're looking for more amenities and greater convenience, you might want to consider another hotel.
I would definitely return to this hotel. I hope the hotel improves its profitability by raising room rates, which will lead to improved employee benefits and the wealth of the owner who invested in it, ultimately leading to the hotel's continued success.
