The hotel has a decent location, making it convenient for business travelers with quick access to key areas. The rooms are comfortable, although a bit dark, and the staff provided excellent service, particularly with baggage issues. While the dining options were good, the hotel isn’t the most ideal choice for tourists due to its surroundings. Overall, I found it to be a fair value for the cost, despite some minor drawbacks.

The hotel has a decent location on the main road with easy access to tourist attractions in Yangon. The rooms are quite dark and can feel a bit dreary if you plan to spend a day relaxing indoors.
