Gemsy Hotel — Hotel in Yangon

The wifi was good. Everything else was awful. It’s nothing like the pictures (pictures on Booking.com where we booked it). It’s getting old and DIRTY. The elevator is disgusting. The reception place itself is a shame: full of boxes and stuff that they are probably planning to sell. It’s more of a storage room than a reception. |We booked it because of the reviews and when we arrived, we didn’t like the towels. They were old and brownish. The sheets were even worse. We asked them if they could change everything and provide white sheets and towels. They gave us a positive answer and we left for lunch. When we came back, our room was ready and of course sheets and towels were as brown and old as the previous ones. When we complained, they told us that unfortunately, they had only such towels and sheets. That was it. Useless to describe my anger and disappointment. Never again! |The breakfast is served in the room: friend rice, noodles or vermicelli. That’s it. We decided not to have it after all we’ve seen at that hotel. Absolutely not worth it...

Okay I don't usually send reviews but, Gemsy is one of the best value places to stay in Yangon and totally underrated - 23 year YGN vet here. Under 2 year old hotel so the photos are 100% accurate. Stayed here for 7 weeks in May/June 2020 in different rooms including their main royal gemsy, all top notch, even gave me a tour of other options which are all as pic showed. Location not downtown (so maybe not perfect for some), but supermarket a 1min walk away, street food and many restaurants under 3min walk, also on main bus route if wanting to travel as a local further, ofc taxi easy via grab. On staff can only say great, GM Ma Irene perfect, Ma Phyu at reception awesome, other staff also all wearing masks so mmmm names missing but all great and chatty. Simply no negative issues, wish they opened buffet brekkie, but understand during covid, though they will deliver to your room free. Can say much more, but a perfect spot to stay in YGN for sure.
