• Ming (7/5): -
• Blacer (8/5): - The room is nice and the breakfast. The staff are approachable and even helped me to order my medicine online. The check in counter is not available 24 hours and no staff is available for early check out.

• Kailing (6/5): Passable but needs alot of improvements - Newr to alot of shops Small rooms, choke toilet and breakfast variety is not good enough. But judging the price is this cheap breakfast provision is good enough

• HOKUTO (6/5): - ロケーション◎朝食〇料金◎ 値段の割に快適に過ごせました。 客室内に大量に蚊が発生していて、宿泊するときは蚊の対策をした方が良いです。
• Tunca (6/5): Harika konumda - Merkezi konumunu, nehire, Çin mahallesine ve Sule pagoda ya yakınlığiını. 10 senedir aynı dekorda kalmiş olması, bazı şeylerin artık derinden değişmesi gerekiyor. internet hızını. Kahvaltısı daha zengin olabilir.

• Richard (9/5): Good value in the heart of Downtown. - Great location with easy access to the bar street and short trips to major attractions. The room was good. The AC, safe deposit box and fridge worked, the bed was very comfortable, it was clean enough and nice to see some old school service in an ASEAN hotel with water and towels delivered daily. Keep in mind Yangon is a very developing place, so don’t expect the Ritz at this price level. It’s very dated and worn out (like Yangon itself). But I can’t complain. Reception was helpful, it was very private with reception on a separate level, so you didn’t have to walk past them all the time, everything worked, breakfast was substantial and it was comfortable. I got a free room upgrade to the deluxe room. The restaurant never seemed to open apart from breakfast. I went up a couple of times, deserted.
• Hara (5/5): -
• Sahadad (2/5): -
• Veiko Kastanje (9/5): An unexpected marvel in the dirt - The roof terrace. The probably biggest food choice ever at the breakfast buffet - from watermelon, eggs and soups to different main courses of chicken and meat. Basically the breakfast is bigger than lunch and dinner at some restaurants.. Normal water pressure in shower. Clean room. Free drinking water bottles. Good location. Almost unbelievable for a *** hotel. Well.. The outside look and surroundings are not exactly the best.
• Sergey (9/5): В целом отлично, в душе необходимо сделать ремонт, ресторан на верхнем этаже с прекрасным видом, персонал отличный, добр - Отличное расположение Немного грязновато, особенно душ

They give me one family room for stay together and they chage me too much for one room. I will stay this hotel for first time & last time for me. Thank you god ..
• Julio (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tze (8/5): Very good -
• Chris (1/5): Bad - Nothing! I arrived at 5 pm to find that my room was not ready. The clerk tried to switch me to another hotel but I refused to change. After 30 minutes I was finally given a room key. However, when I walked out of the elevator on my floor I noticed garbage piled up in the corner next to my room. I looked on several other floors and it was the same, there was garbage left all over the hotel. I went back to the front desk and told them what I had seen and for some reason they were not surprised nor did they seem to think they needed to do anything about it. I have stayed in this same hotel many times in the past and things were never like this before. It used to be a nice place.....good location, decent price and clean. Very sad to see how bad it is now..........
• Savery925 (8/5): Very good -
• Starrex (7/5): Good - It is nice place for stop in Yangon for a few nights. Rooftop with a nice view. Breakfast was poor. Reception on the 4th floor, Elevator. Hotel need some renovation.
• Michael (10/5): Exceptional - Location was great Easy to get around a few blocks from bar street. Great breakfast
• Kenneth (3/5): Poor -
• Daria (7/5): Good -
• Jairo (9/5): Superb - The hotel is quite well located in downtown Rangoon, the staff was nice, the room had spiderwebs in the ceiling and nearby the toilet (I do not think that it is difficult to get rid of them)... Breakfast was fulfilling... There may need a deep cleaning...
• Marceli (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly and helpful staff. Perfect location. Delicious breakfast. Highly recommend 👌
• Richard (7/5): Good - The staff were friendly and helpful from the time of arrival through to departure which helps to make an hotel stay Though good value for money the hotel is definitely in need of refurbishment. Also the free WiFi needs to be be reliable.
• Sahadad (1/5): Bad - Location is good for me Location
• Teddy (8/5): GREAT VIEW FROM THE HEART OF CHINATOWN. (facilities need an upgrade) - Pros: - quite ok price for the area. - location is in the heart of chinatown. 3 streets away of the popular 19th street with many bars and restaurants. - friendly but a bit insecure staff as they don’t speak a lot of english. - white, clean sheets. - window could be opened. - nice views over town. - rooftop restaurant with view on shwedagon pagoda. - elevator. - complimentary toothbrush, shower gel, shampoo, tissues, water, etc… - tv, a/c, electricity plugs on each bed side. - no carpet! - hot water with ok pressure. - shops and restaurants outside. - taxi airport to the hotel was 10$ (get it from the main road) - very silent (curfew 00:00-04:00) - wifi was working ok. Cons: - old bathtub with rusty leaking shower. - water ran all over the floor. - shower curtain with stains of rust & fungus. - one tile missing on the bathtub tiling. - old, shabby toilet seat. - light switch was defect (constantly on!) so i needed to use the main fuse to switch everything off at night. - you need to walk up one level to the first floor for the elevator. in general i was very happy to stay there. they were friendly and tried to help with the light issue. besides it was close to 19th street and sule pagoda.
• KOJI (4/5): - always no towel in the room. I found hundreds of black spots on the beds and floor. They were moving slowly IIf you liove baby cockroaches, here is the perfect place to find them.
• Lutz (10/5): - Unique this is my second trip was the hotel staff. When the staff works together well, you as a guest benefit. Also room service n rooftop restaurant food is 👍 good.
• Lutz (10/5): - Great value n location. Great staff n good food.
• Anna (5/5): Good . Nice staff! - Near the center Kindly renovate the entrance. Make it more welcoming Lots of cockroaches in the CR.

• Paul (8/5): good value for money. - the staff were very helpful, the location was ok. breakfast was ok. the room I was in had a view of a wall. the room was a bit shabby.
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michael (7/5): Good - Breakfast on the rooftop was great. Room was not very well maintained and cleaned. Water dripping from the faucet.
• Craig (6/5): 2nd visit - Second time here, first time no issues. No hot water due to the generator for two days, then, no cold water to mix it with when it was scolding. No air vent working, shower head fairly blocked, light broken in room. I have them a while day's notice to fix it but nothing was. Fairly average breakfast selection
• Henry (6/5): Smallville - Room small. Entrance also small. Lift small. Lobby/Reception area also small. Just like the location
• T H (6/5): Grand United - The Grand United 21 Chinatown is a good basic hotel. Breakfast is served on the roof with good views
• Verified traveler (2/5): - On arriving at this property they had overbooked us & transfered us to their sister hotel which was a joke We sent a email direct to the hotel regarding our complaint & we got nowhere It was very clear to us as we were staying in China town & it was chinese new year we were given second preference Just a reminder that we booked & paid for this 6 months ago
• Pitt (6/5): Too small for family. But resoobsive to feedfack - Downtown 21st though newer than Chinatow, has smaller rooms and housekeeping not as good. On the whole the service is responsive and allowed me to relocate to Chinatown for 2nd and 3rd nights. But both are not extremely accessible as to go to the lift, one must carry his or own bags five steps up from entrance and the reception is on level three or four. So it is an extra stop before reaching your room. Generally it is not value for money for three to share a room as the extra person has to pay almost the same price of a separate room instead of a roller bed. That seems to be Yangon’s way of telling family to spilt into two or more rooms. Have the same problem at Best Western Chinatown which let me decided to give it a miss this time, not knowing the same for these two and Clover City Centre Plus as well.
• Tom (8/5): Always there for my business trip - Repeatedly back to this hotel ... I'm good with everything.
• Crazy (8/5): Hotel in city center - Clean comfortable rooms. Very friendly staff. Cheap in house restaurant.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Good for 2 nights - The pleasant experience starts from check in where you are offered welcome drinks! Check in (and out) processes were quick and fuss free. Location was not bad, 19th street is to the left while Junction City is to the right! Staff were very friendly and breakfast was comprehensive. Overall a great stay!
• T H (8/5): - The room was very good and clean but the Wifi was so weak that it was mostly useless. I like the Hotel but unless they can get a working internet I cannot stay there anymore.
• Troy (6/5): Handy for chinatown - In the heart of downtown walking to food street only a few minutes with many restaurants and street food Shut to traffic after 8pm then it fills up fast Taxis easy to get and cheap Not close enough to walk to shwedagon pagoda but taxi at the hotel is waiting for 3000kyats ($3) Staff very nice and took up offer to an escorted visit to Bago and the reclining budda Also can walk to Sule Pagoda and a very nice park with impressive building all round
• Ted (8/5): Comfortable hotel in convenient location - I stayed here for 5 nights and it was a small but comfortable hotel, with a spacious room. My room was clean and comfortable, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Also is located in a very convenient location, very near Chinatown. The rooftop breakfast area also provides good views of the city
• Niall (6/5): Okay hotel - but problem on arrival :( - When arrived at the hotel, we were told that it was overbooked and that they had arranged a room at another hotel which is 4 star. Normally, okay- but we specifically wanted this hotel as it was close our friends who were staying a block away. The hotel staff didnt seem to understand that we booked this one for a reason and didint want to change. Left the hotel to meet friends and planned to change to the new one after dinner. When got back, they hotel said that they had managed to find a room, so the problem was solved. A bit of stress for no good reason.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Reasonable hotel for the price - Good breakfast ! Close to the morning market and street food and drinks (the 19th Street Doentown).
• Thin (10/5): - Our stay was great! We wish the water temperature in the shower was easier to adjust since it took us awhile to get the right water temperature. Overall, the service was great and we enjoyed our stay.
• B & B (6/5): Nice staff - This is a low budget hotel. The bathroom had an odor. The best part was the staff and the buffet breakfast.
• Kevin (10/5): Wonderful hotel. Fabulous rooftop breakfast. - Enjoyed my stay here. Wonderful centrally located budget hotel. Welcoming and friendly staff. Room and bathroom were nice & clean. Comfortable bed & pillows. Tv had about 15 channels inc a US premium movies channel, US news, French tv. Fabulous rooftop breakfast. Eat indoors in air con or outdoors and enjoy the lovely views over Yangon. Great selection of food inc meat & veg & fruit and I loved the peanut butter and chocolate spreads. The hotel is only a few minutes walk from the bars/restaurants of 19th Street. Taxi from the airport cost 10,000 kyat. Get a ticket from official taxi staff as you exit the arrivals hall. The hotel is on a narrow one way street. Yangon traffic is terrible and I give the driver the option to drop me at the corner of Maha Bandoola Road and 21st Street and then I walk 40 meters to the hotel to avoid going around. Hotel arranged a lovely car & driver to take me back to the airport and he also charged 10,000 kyat. Wi-Fi worked quite well. Grand United 21st is a great little hotel and I look forward to going back in November.
• Angeline (10/5): Awesome! - Love how localise the hotel is situated, at the busy Chinatown district. It's within walking distance to the Yangon night market, Sule Pagoda and eatries. Staffs are friendly and helpful too! Especially thankful to Goung to have introduce, arrange and brought us around Yangon on his off day; he could have chose to rest after a 24hrs work shift, but he chose to assist us instead. Really thankful for that! And thanks to the staff from Chinatown branch to lead us to 21st downtown when the taxi driver us to the wrong place.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Pleasant Stay - pleasant, clean room with an excellent services.
• Kevin (10/5): Wonderful friendly hotel Awesome rooftop breakfast - Wonderful good value budget hotel with friendly staff and an awesome rooftop breakfast. The room and bathroom were clean. Bed and pillows comfortable. Tv had about 18 channels, a few of which were western including a movies and news channel. Large free bottled water left for each guest. Coffee & tea making facilities with kettle and cups in the room which is a must for us. Wifi worked ok most of the time. Wonderful buffet breakfast on the rooftop with great views over Yangon. Sit inside in air con or outside. Big choice of foodstuffs. Vegetables, meats, fruit and even cakes. Eggs cooked to order. Peanut butter and chocolate spreads which was a nice surprise. Central location just a few minutes walk from the popular bars/restaurants of 19th Street. Hotel is situated on a narrow one way street. Sometimes best to ask the driver to drop you on the corner of Maha Bandula Road and 21st Street as it's just a short 40 metre walk to the hotel and saves a long detour in heavy traffic. At the airport change your money and get a taxi from the indoor taxi stand nearby. About 8000 to 9000 kyat. On the way back doormen called for a local taxi driver to take us back. Paid 10,000 kyat. Yangon traffic is very congested daytime and the airport journey can take up to an hour. We loved our stay at Grand United 21st Downtown and look forward to going back.
• Riki (8/5): Nice hotel in downtown - Nice location in the center of Yangon Downtown. Room was clean enough and comforable for the price.Nice view from the roof top where restaurant is loctated.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Old hotel in a less than apealing location. - The staff was friendly but I was taken back when I'd arrived.The front entrance to the hotel was located in what seemed to be a back alley.The hotel was extremely hot and the room even with some upgrades was very aged.I ended up leaving right after checking in.The staff was nice but the hotel was very sketchy in appearance.
• Jari (6/5): Room size is big enough to feel comfortable - The hotel staff in the reception clearly don't read those messages you might send when You are making Your booking. So if you have hopes regarding to Your room, You might want to send a separete email. But You should ask hotel reception and doormen to arrange You a taxi to the airport or bus station, because no need to hassle about if the driver understand where You are going. The location is nice near some local sight like Sule pagoda and more nice restaurants near the 19th street area You needduring your stay. There is a small travel agency in the street level right next the hotel entrance. Exellent for booking bus or airline tickets.
• Jade (8/5): Nice breakfast with relax embience - Good staff service. bed comfy. clean room. Good breakfast.
• Not Provided (10/5): Great spot - My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. We arrived around 6 am and had no problem finding the hotel. They were happy to hold our bags and offered us breakfast (on the fabulous terrace). The room was very nice and clean. The location is great, very central. We would definitely stay here again.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Quick stay - It is located at 21st in dirty China Town. It was hard for us to find a nice restaurant nearby, but there were many local hawker's food stalls. The wifi was broken on 3rd floor and we routed to 4th floor, but wifi had poor connection. The breakfast on the roof was great.
• Phillip (8/5): Well located hotel with super rooftop restaurant - Great place in downtown to begin exploring Yangon...................................
• Richard (4/5): Small Room with Overpowering A/C - I had a premium room on the 8th Floor with a view of Shwedagon Pagoda in the distance. I enjoyed the view, but the room was very small, with the king size bed (which was pushed up against the wall) taking up almost all the space. The biggest problem, however, was that, because of the small size of the room, the air conditioning unit mounted at ceiling level blew directly onto the bed. Even after setting the thermostat up to 25 degrees, cold air kept blowing on the bed all night. Very difficult to get comfortable!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Great value for the price. Located in Chinatown in - Great value for the price. Located in Chinatown in the heart of the action. The staff are wonderful. They speak pretty good English. And the guys outside are terrific and helping you with your bags and getting to where you want to go. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone who wants to be close to all the major attractions. Also The breakfast upstairs on the roof is excellent with a wonderful view. We very much enjoyed our stay.
• Vverma (6/5): Not a 3 star hotel - This is definitely not a 3 star hotel. The room layout is awkward and taking shower makes the whole bathroom wet. We stayed for 1 night so was ok as a place to sleep. Will not recommend for a longer stay.
