when we arrived to this hotel in march 2011 the temperature was almost 100 f (40c) it was hot and humid outside, but when we arrived hotel lobby was pleasantly cool. clean and friendly. staff was very nice, our room was no ready but nonetheless we felt very good. it took them just few moments to fix tis problem and we were ushered to our room. it was just perfect clean...when we arrived to this hotel in march 2011 the temperature was almost 100 f (40c) it was hot and humid outside, but when we arrived hotel lobby was pleasantly cool. clean and friendly. staff was very nice, our room was no ready but nonetheless we felt very good. it took them just few moments to fix tis problem and we were ushered to our room. it was just perfect clean, comfortable and cool! really we were so happy to stay there. one of the major qualities of this hotel is that it is a great "refuge for tired traveler. we visited few sites (day drive) and when we came back it was a relief. one can rest and recover nicely. breakfast is very very good staff helpful and i would recommend this hotel without any reservations! do not hesitate book this one right away, out of curiosity we visited other hotels in town and honestly i am hapy to report to you this one is a winner! the only downside is "dirty money problem" but it is not this only this hotel problem it is "a situation" that happening all over. if your dollars are older then 2009 and/or kept in your wallet (that means sightly bended) hotel bar will not accept it! we almost run into a problem because they would not accept perfectly good money?! just because i kept them in my wallet?! or if your dollar banknote has a mark on it (sometimes bankers put te markers dot on it or things like that you are stuck with it for the rest of your stay. before you come to burma go to your bank and have them give you most recently printed money and do not put it in your wallet but in an envelope and in a book so ou preserve it and your dollars are crisp and straight. hotel should rethink their policy and help us survive this situation!

A boutique hotel, location is central hence moving around to places of interest are rather convenient. Had an issue during my stay and their acknowledgement on the matter & speed in resolving it was rather impressive. Comparable to a 5-star hotel service, anytime! While the room is small in size (Good Room type), you have everything you need. Bed was comfortable. ...A boutique hotel, location is central hence moving around to places of interest are rather convenient. Had an issue during my stay and their acknowledgement on the matter & speed in resolving it was rather impressive. Comparable to a 5-star hotel service, anytime! While the room is small in size (Good Room type), you have everything you need. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast spread is limited (breads, muffin, limited cold meat) and they offer 1 main course from their morning menu, which I think is insufficient considering the portion served. Increasing the portion by 20-30% will be more satisfying. A good place for dinner, tasty choices of meals & portion served is sufficient compared to morning breakfast. They have a live band playing on Friday night - enjoyable. It will be my choice of hotel when I travel back to Yangon, without hesitation. However, do take note that this is a NON-Smoking hotel. You are allowed to smoke outside. Well done to the Operation Manager & the front office

Enjoyed the meals taken at night they were reasonably priced and the set Chinese Meal I would definitely recommend. The Chefs maintained a constant visual presence, especially when their International Buffet was served at week ends, and also during Breakfast.

The Chefs maintained a constant visual presence, especially when their International Buffet was served at week ends, and also during Breakfast. The room was very comfortable, and rooms could be requested facing the famous Sharaweddogon Pagoda. A sunset can be enjoyed on the rooftop where there is a bar. Mosquitos did not appear to be a problem in the vicinity. Taxi to the center of Yangon was 2,000chat, although I found that I kept being asked for more at times and had to negotiate. Taxi to the Airport if ordered from the Bellboy is also considerably cheaper than booking through the Hotels Reception. Praise must be given to the Travel Agent, which is situated amongst the shops in the Hotel for his friendliness and his rate of exchange. Upon leaving Yangon and exploring the country, the rate given is considerably less, it is best to stock in piles of Chat, to take with you. The Travel Agent will change these back into dollars if not used. American Dollars are the only accepted currency, crisp and new ones. There are no A.T.M s inBurma!Credit Cards are also not accepted. All in all a pleasant stay and I was sorry to leave after visiting the excellent Swimming Pool situated at the rear of the Hotel

To start with, this hotel is just a 20-30 min walk from Shwedagon Pagoda, and infront of Central Women Hospital. Area was quite and clean unlike other busy and noisy areas in yangon. There is a seafood restaurant nearby, and some western cuisine if you walk 200-300m further ( on the direction to pagoda). Staffs are nice and kind., and the rooms are extra clean and kept...To start with, this hotel is just a 20-30 min walk from Shwedagon Pagoda, and infront of Central Women Hospital. Area was quite and clean unlike other busy and noisy areas in yangon. There is a seafood restaurant nearby, and some western cuisine if you walk 200-300m further ( on the direction to pagoda). Staffs are nice and kind., and the rooms are extra clean and kept with same standard as 4-star quality, and does the bathroom too.There are some complimentary eateries like noodles and chips other than water bottles. and the bed and sleep was excellent. TV has most of the best channels to surf, including LIVE Football Worldcup ( Thats a PLUS !!) There is a free shuttle from hotel to major tourist attraction like Shwedagon Pagoda and Bogyoke Market on daily basis, you can check the timing in front desk, though you may need to register day before The restaurant in the second floor is not so pricey compared to the restaurant out, but if you gonna order something, make sure you have ordered something Asian Cuisine, I had bad experience by ordering Western ( burger and pizza ) and mushroom soup which is totally and unbelievably sucks. Though breakfast was exquisite, with lots of choices and varieties. And the staffs will make sure you had everything you need right at your table. There are pool table near-room next to restaurant, for hotel guests too. Though didnt get a chance to try, as it was crowded on night time. Plus sauna is free for hotel guests. And the rest is best compared to some of the other hotel i stayed in yangon, especially value for money ( below $100 ) hotel with such luxurious service. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who s looking for little extra pampering Rooms on high floor with Shwedagon Pagoda View will be greater, but costlier i guess.

So I normally stay in the large chain hotels due to points and frequent stay status. This hotel has me rethinking that philosophy. The staff was fantastic, better than many of the 5 star hotels I have been in. The location was perfect for exploring the city as a traveler. The room was great, especially the in room coffee maker, I am already thinking of buying one ...So I normally stay in the large chain hotels due to points and frequent stay status. This hotel has me rethinking that philosophy. The staff was fantastic, better than many of the 5 star hotels I have been in. The location was perfect for exploring the city as a traveler. The room was great, especially the in room coffee maker, I am already thinking of buying one for my home. The breakfast is a menu of made to order that is very good (but not all you can eat for those who want that). The food in the lounge/restaurant (also where breakfast is served) is really good and some of the best we had during our days in Yangon (good quality and mid-range on price). Staff was more than happy to arrange some tickets for us and talk over sight seeing plans as we don’t like tours. Although I can’t say enough good about our stay there are a few spots to improve. USB or power plug ins are needed on both sides of bed (2 people usually have at least 1 or more devices each that need charging). In our room we had to unplug the lights from underneath the bedside stand to use the plug in for devices - a simple powered USB hub on each side would be perfect and would eliminate the need for travel power adapters. The shower needed strategic bath mat arrangement to direct water to the non-shower drain (I live in Asia and this seems to be a common issue in even some 5 star hotels). Lastly, it was listed as exercise facilities but did not indicate that it was off-site about 4 min walk away (minor but should be noted, gym was fantastic though) All of these are minor issues but should be noted. In the end, I highly recommend the hotel - you can’t beat the combination of quality of stay, location and staff.

I highly recommend this hotel. Its near the Scott Market. You can walk by feet to Downtown. The Schwedagon Pagoda is not far away. Nice Restaurants are nearby. Breakfast is one of the best I had in Myanmar. Several kinds of fresh fruits, Pancakes, Mohinga - great Variation for every taste. The staff is super kind and helpful, always attentive and patient.

Breakfast is one of the best I had in Myanmar. Several kinds of fresh fruits, Pancakes, Mohinga - great Variation for every taste. The staff is super kind and helpful, always attentive and patient. And the rooms are spacious, well furnished, quiet, with windows you can open to breath fresh air. When you are in your room you cant imagine that you are in the middle of downtown because ist so quiet. I really love this place and will always return for a stay.

i managed to get a room at the hotel during the busy christmas period and because of the availability i didn't have high expectations, however i was very pleasantly surprised. firstly the location was excellent - the bogyoke aung san market is a 10 minute walk away and the hotel probably has some of the best views of the shewedagon paya, particularly from the roof ter...i managed to get a room at the hotel during the busy christmas period and because of the availability i didn't have high expectations, however i was very pleasantly surprised. firstly the location was excellent - the bogyoke aung san market is a 10 minute walk away and the hotel probably has some of the best views of the shewedagon paya, particularly from the roof terrace. the staff were very friendly and helpful. very good buffet breakfast and we were automatically given a packed breakfast on the last day as our flight was early in the morning. our room on the 12th floor was very comfortable - hot water for showers and baths (but the plumbing could be improved). noise/music from the city centre can be an issue at weekends.

I have to thank the staff at Diamond Crown for their 5-star service at a budget hotel. Really incredibly helpful and friendly with great English skills. Always smiling, always going out of their way. At check-out, a member of housekeeping noticed that I left shirts in the closet and rather than just pointing it out, he took the shirts out and carefully folded them for ...I have to thank the staff at Diamond Crown for their 5-star service at a budget hotel.

I have never had such good service at much more expensive hotels.

I booked this hotel because of its proximity to the Thai Embassy. The Yangon International needs lots of repair--- In may ways it is crumbling. When it was new, it must have been the "talk of the town!" But it is still charming. It is a bizarre blend of various decors including turn-of-the century Parisian Art Nouveau, which dominates the facility. Prints by Mucha are ...I booked this hotel because of its proximity to the Thai Embassy. The Yangon International needs lots of repair--- In may ways it is crumbling. When it was new, it must have been the "talk of the town!" But it is still charming. It is a bizarre blend of various decors including turn-of-the century Parisian Art Nouveau, which dominates the facility. Prints by Mucha are everywhere. This theme seems out-of-place for SE Asia, but it is fun! The funky rooftop bar has an excellent view of the city. The hotel is right across the street from the lovely "Peoples' Park," and is walking distance to Shwedagon Pagoda, the Myanmar National Museum, as well as Ocean Supercenter. Though the Yangon International is far from being luxurious, it is clean, the staff are friendly, and it offers an eccentric, unique hotel experience. If you are looking for something offbeat, this is the place!
