"Suggest to get the higher priced room. Clean room, water pressure is a bit low, may be to reserve water. You don't have to go around town to taste Burmese daily breakfast. A very good one is included in your stay. No swimming pool or spa at the hotel, but a good standard sauna.

"One-Star Review for Best Western Chinatown Hotel, Yangon. Absolutely Disgusting and Overpriced – Avoid at All Costs! False Advertising at Its WorstI booked a 12-night stay here through Expedia (split into two prepaid bookings: Nov 5-8 and Nov 8-17, 2025), expecting a decent Best Western standard based on the branding, photos, and description suggesting a modern, clean upscale hotel in a convenient location. What I got was a filthy, infested dump that doesn't even deserve two stars, charging prices comparable to actual five-star properties like the Pan Pacific Yangon (where I fortunately moved after just two nights).From the moment I checked in, it was a nightmare:The room was dirty with visible grime.
Cockroaches scurried around openly.
The toilet was constantly blocked (even when empty), and when I called for help, a staff member tried to unclog it with his bare hand wrapped in a plastic bag – no plunger, utterly unhygienic!
I woke up covered in insect bites from the bed bugs or whatever was infesting the linens.
Basic amenities were missing: body soap and shampoo dispensers were completely empty on arrival. When I requested refills, staff showed up with diluted mixtures in old water bottles, half-filled the dispensers, refused to top them up properly, and then tracked muddy footprints all over the bathroom floor and even onto the towels.
Lights flickered constantly.
Internet dropped out repeatedly or didn't work at all.
Power outages (common in Yangon) were made worse "
"So exceptional is The Excelsior - so absolutely perfect in every detail - that it'll amaze you - without any exceptions. Its gorgeously fitted out; the staff and extremely gracious and it has abundant unique features that make a stay so memorable. For breakfast, the Newsroom Cafe serves utterly delightful a la carte fare - in a gorgeous environment and with exceptional staff. It's perfect."
"The hotel is elegant and we were well taken care of. Our Butler, Chris, provided exceptional service at every turn. We enjoyed dining at the hotel and found out meals well prepared and nicely spiced. We will be happy to return to The Strand."
"No, can't switch rooms due to limited vacant rooms. the building is so old and has odor. All the manager and staff states there is no odor where they senses used to it."
