Kaung Lay Inn — Hotel in Yangon

The main reason I rented this place is for the convenience to Thuwunna Indoor Stadium (for Yoma Yangon Marathon). ||||It is within walking distance to Ma Hlwa Gone Railway Station which you can experience the circular railway for 200kyats per-person. It is also near to Chauk Htat Gyi Buddha aka Reclining Buddha (free entrance). ||||This area can be very hard to excess at certain hour if driving because there's a major road construction nearby and we were caught in the jam when on our way from the airport.||||Do note that they will not arrange for an airport pick-up service even if you request for it. Found it out the hard way as we waited but decided to cab there ourselves. Bought the ticket over the taxi counter in the airport for 10,000kyats.||||The guy in the hotel told me he didn't see my request and it is still cheaper to get it straight from the airport as they outsource this service to the local taxis and that the fare will be expensive.||||We stayed on the ground floor, the room is well maintain but the floor is dirty and sandy. The breakfast is western style toast bread and eggs. They refuse to give me more eggs, which annoys me a little but...

Being cheaper than all of my backpacker stays so far in Yangon, I stayed at Kaung Lay Inn for six nights - and had a better experience than all the others! The room/bed was massive, and perfectly clean. Love the teak interior, and the breakfast room is beautiful in the morning. Which brings me to breakfast.||||Pancakes, honey and fruit to start with - then eggs on toast with tea or coffee. A welcome change from the rice and noodles I was served at breakfast at other (pricier) hotels - and filled me up to bursting point. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, and willing to go to the ends of the earth to make your stay enjoyable. I felt completely safe and welcome as a solo traveller- really can't recommend this place enough. ||||Top tip: As its slightly off the beaten track, some taxi drivers had difficulty finding it. But its located right next to the throat, ear and nose hospital (which everybody knows) - so ask to be taken there and walk the 30 seconds to Kaung Lay Inn.||||Enjoy your stay! I'll definitely be...

Just 30$ a night, we got a superior stay with great service mind from hotel team. Thanks to Thu Rain, Thantzin Tun, Moon Lay and the team who hosted us, played water with us and treated us as home!!!||If you want to feel a real steak wooden Myanmar house, wake up with crows and pegions sound, a 4th floor top resting area looking over Pagoda and green trees, free breakfast, coffee, tea and super-free-good-service-mind, STAY HERE!||Remarks: No lift, air need time to make you cold so just take a shower first, but it's very cold at night time (We was on Thingyan festival and the weather was 40 degress something so we can understand)||Recommend for those who love to experience a real Myanmar style stay. If you need more facialities, take other 5 star...
