Good stay”
Stayed in this hostel twice while in Yangon. It's clean with really comfy beds. They offer towels and breakfast. The common area is small but nice and you have Sule Pagoda really close and local buses to bus station and airport near by (ask for it as if not they will just suggest taking a taxi and its much more expensive). I stayed in a female room with aircon and I would go back. The bad thing for me was that they don't offer water to refill (I don't like to buy bottles as it's a big waste of plastic). And also that they didn't told me local options for transport when I asked for it... But apart from that it's a good and clean hostel.

Amazing place!”
Beautiful building, super friendly staff, everything was extremely clean. You can have a good breakfast sitting next to a window and watch the monks going in their daily routines. The location is very good, plenty of places to eat and in the heart of the lovely Yangon downtown streets. Would highly recommend!

Awesome and feel at home ”
Pros : Friendly and accommodating staffs. I was welcomed warmly by the staff upon entering the hostel. They gave me cold juice to feel relaxed and refreshed. The location is also good, pretty close to stores and restaurants. The rooms are clean and tidy. Cons : The bathrooms and the toilet are downstairs which makes one lazy to pee in the middle of the night or whatever time. Although, the bathrooms are neat and clean most of the time. The breakfast I had was okay, didn't have much taste but I heard that the previous menu was excellent. Overall, I rate this 8/10 and would love to return whenever I will be in Yangon.

Nice one”
The hostel is clean, good price, facilities are nice and beautiful, and the staffs are polite and helpful. The location is just amazing and close to many beautiful buildings and shops. However, I want to be honest about my experience and want them to improve this. There are mosquitoes at the stairs and living room. I was bitten by mosquitoes and itchy. Need to improve this. Overall, the hostel is really amazing and you won’t find another one like this in Yangon with its price. Recommend you all if you are looking a nice hostel to stay in Yangon.

Perfect location super friendly staff”
I loved to stay here and in fact favoured it over a seemingly more luxurious Hotel which in my experience with Yangon Hotels usually has no charme and can be dirty and often has no comfortable seating areas ect. This hostel is much better value for money. The wonderful staff is helpful, kind and professional. They will not overwhelm you with suggestions to do things but simply help you answer questions. I am not sure if they speak good English as we communicated in Myanmar but I assume they do.

Such a nice place to stay even for couple. ”
Pros, localization is a mix of locals street food and local life like full with pharmacy, laundry house, exchange house and convenience store. Cons, the floor material made from wood. Which is need to walk very soft to not bother other guest. Room below hear every foot steps of room above. Bedroom that close to street need to use seal glass inside the room because bus honk horn super early like 6:30am. But overall is one of the best hostel I ever stayed in Yangon. Staff is so nice.

Absolutely the best”
This beautiful building with old colonial interior took me by surprise. Perfect location with everything just a stone's throw away made out stay in Yangon perfect. Eye cleanliness is something one would observe and friendly staff. Definitely recommend this place over any other hostels if you like the mix of quiet and bustle.

Great people, nice place”
Where they truly excel at is their hospitality with their guests. The staffs (especially the males) are so good at their job that they would gladly assist all their guests queries. I love them😍 the room is clean and every morning there is a fresh new towel and linens without requesting for it. One sad note is they really have bed bugs :( but I would still recommend them 100% because they have the most amazing customer service. Love the breakfast too as it has variety everyday

Nice cozy Hostel!”
The rooms are a little bit small but it wasn’t a big thing. Beds are comfy and have an own plug and light. Breakfast (noodles/fried rice and fruits) is typical asian nothing special but good. Lobby is decorated nicely and you can chill out. All in all it was perfect for our expectations and we would stay there again.

Impeccable Hospitality of staff ”
Their greatest asset is the people in the reception. They are so attentive and very much willing to attend to our needs. They are really helpful in everything. Location is good as it is near a bus stop, there is food outside so really convenient. The room and the whole place is well-maintained and clean (they have clean towel and sheets). Facilities are okay, no television or games but it's okay because I don't really need it. They got a perfect place to just sit and relax like the old times. Hopefully they got to arrest the problems with bed bugs.

Quaint colonial building with cosy environment”
Had a great stay, the staffs are really helpful, clean sheets, clean towels are provided. Simple breakfast served for you to kick-start the day. Located at a quiet street with street vendors and some food stalls, great to just sit on the road side and enjoy the people and street gazing, shaded by trees. The shower is with great water pressure and fast heating. The only downside is that to get to the shower from he room you need to go through the reception and dining hall, so have to dress properly before and after if you are shy. But overall exceptional experience, delightful, airy, cosy and beautiful place to stay. Saw a new winebar under construction just next door, ready in 1 month time! too bad i have to leave!

Excellent”
The hostel was very beautiful with very friendly staff. However, even though the staff wanted to help, they should be a better job giving touristic advices and information. The breakfast was awesome and the beds and pillow very confortable.

Terrible wifi, but otherwise decent”
Often could not connect to wifi unless standing close to front desk. Connection would often drop after a short period of time. Bathrooms/showers are located far away from hostel rooms and on a different floor so it's up and down stairs and crossing all the way through common area and dining area to get to them. Breakfast usually rice or noodles with egg, plus "orange drink" (not juice) and sub-par watermelon slices. Bedroom extremely tight, very little space for large bags. Beds otherwise okay, with curtains. No lockers in room. Common area spacious and attractive with large windows. Staff were okay. Location is close to some small night market areas and cafes, overpriced wine bar next door. Overall, decent stay, but avoid if you need good wifi.

Clean, comfortable and conveniently located. Good free breakfast and very helpful staff. We stayed one night in a private room and one night in the dorms. Slept like babies both times. Go out and wander around... there's lots to see!
