Sweet Hotel — Hotel in Yangon

The hotel proudly bares its one-star rating on a plaque at the front desk. It is a budget hotel, often used by local organisations to host out-of-towners who are attending workshops or training programs. Overall it was clean enough and somewhere to lay your head at night, but no real atmosphere and I did not feel like spending any time at the hotel (in my room or elsewhere). There are other hotels nearby that are better value.||||The room was clean, with a kettle and fridge, wifi in the rooms was ok (I found I could stream audio late at night). The staff were reasonably friendly. ||||I had a room on one side of the hotel and could see Shewdagon Pagoda if I strained my neck out the window. It was not too noisy - rooms at the front might be louder. We lost power several times, although this is par for the course in many parts of Yangon.||||The restaurant is in the basement, food is ok, but nothing special. Breakfast was actually not bad, I thought the Burmese food was quite tasty and there was always fresh fruit. ||||I just found myself desperate for better light (rooms quite dark, basement restaurant has no windows) or somewhere to sit (the lobby is also in the basement). The elevator has very limited capacity and frequently is overloaded (e.g. some guests...

It was not my first time in staying in this hotel but it was my first time staying in a single room. The staff was very rude in telling my friend to stay at the lobby to wait for me. Even though I tried to explain that my friend and I would need to discuss something because my friend will be bringing me around Yangon, however the staff just told us off. ||Next day, my friend helped me to carry some stuff up to my room and the staff was extremely rude to tell me only 5 mins is allowed for my friend to be in my room because no guest is allowed for single room. My friend left within 5 mins, but the staff called my room after 15 mins and said in a very sarcastic tone "5 mins is over." I was really pissed off with the staff's attitude. It totally ruined my experience...

This is a very basic hotel that has what you need and a little more. Clean rooms, clean linens, functional AC, small refrigerator, and comfortable beds. ||Staff is very helpful with directions, taxis, and shopping questions.||Breakfast each morning is relatively unchanging, but adequate to fill you up, esp if you like rice, noodles, and fresh fruit.||It is one of the closest hotels to the Shwe Dagon Pagoda, only a 10 minute walk up the hill to the pagoda AND some great new restaurants right across the street from the pagoda.||Internet is free and available in the rooms, but their connection speed is very slow. Email OK, but forget streaming. Downloading a movie...
