Guest Reviews
- Stephanie (10/5): Great location & Amazing staff - The staff in that hotel is beyond nice and helpful. They try to do the best they can at all time. For Yangon standards, this is a great place to stay with a great value for money.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Friendly staff and good breakfast w view
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location with a view of an amazing temple from the rooftop restaurant. The staff were great and very helpful.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I like rooftop but staff need to be well trained about F&B
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent hotel, good breakfast buffet,nice rooms ,yes,yes yes,yes yes
- Verified traveler (2/5): Disappointing stay - There was no hot water and they did not tell us at the check in. We complained and after many calls we have been given with a $8 discount (which is nothing compared to the price paid for the room). The sheets were dirty, probably someone slept there and they didn’t change them. Breakfast disappointing. It’s not a 4-star hotel.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great location and friendly flexible staff. Nice views from the roofdeck.
- Raymond (10/5): - Hotel gives you a water dispenser and glasses instead of bottled water (and you get more drinking waters as a result). Also no disposable shampoo and conditioner bottles. This is great for Myanmar!
- Lester (10/5): - Local Staff are very friendly, helpful and they can speak English well. Pleasure experience. Room are clean, bathroom water are strong to make you fresh after a day out. Do inform them if u have any thing to feedback before u put negative review. Local there are hardworking so do give them all a chance
- Verified traveler (8/5): Just alright stay - Average hotel within walking distance to Shwedagon pagoda north gate. One restaurant next to hotel and nothing else. Rooftop under reno
- John (8/5): Nice Boutique Hotel - Bottom line up front: I liked this hotel, would stay here again in the future, and would recommend it to others. Pros: Great View from the rooftop and nice setting for rooftop bar (did not use as it rained every night during our stay - but I can see to potential in it). Awesome breakfast with the ability to special order off a menu in addition to the buffet. Comfortable bed with lots of pillows and a good AC. Wonderful staff that was extremely helpful - especially the concierge staff. Good location near several tourist attractions. Shower head could be placed above 2 meters making it comfortable for tall people like me. Nice art on the walls. Cons: Lots of noise and traffic around the hotel, especially in the mornings. The shower curtain did a poor job containing the water and left the entire bathroom floor covered in water.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good location and fairly quiet, well kept. Helpful staff
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Very near shwedagon and good customer service especially FB team.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Fabulous roof top terrace with great view of the Shwe Dagon Pagoda. Friendly, accommodating staff. Excellent breakfast selection with buffet and a la carte menu items. Centrally located, with clean, spacious rooms. Such a wonderful experience, highly recommend this hotel!
- Verified traveler (4/5): - The shower room will flood during shower time. Air conditioning and refrigerator is not cold at all even after complaint. More than 4 staff working at the breakfast buffet area but none serve cutlery to you, just wonder around. Some of the food at the breakfast counter have small fruit fly, but none action taken. Tea spoon in the room is not clean have to wash and clean yourself after the room cleaning service, so as the towel were found with stains.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The location was great and it was a good attempt at a modern hotel. The rooms were nice enough. The roof top bar could be great, but was OK... typically Asian with a temporary looking bar and set up 😁
- Verified traveler (6/5): - IT IS SITUATEDIN AROAD THAT WAS MORE LANE SURROUNDED BY DIRTY SMALL SHOPS
- Jongkol (10/5): - Nice view and good service
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The staffs are very helpful. Location is convenience.
- Frederick (8/5): Colourful, vibrant hotel with amazing views. - Beautiful view, unique hotel decor, great breakfast, great view from the rooftop bar, colourful, vibrant area.
- Sawanya (10/5): - good place , good service , good location , Will come back again at this hotel
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Hotel is 3 stars - overated and overprized in inconvenient location. I’m wondering if positive reviews are fake or paid. Bad reviews are correct: Sewer smell every day, located on narrow road away from everything except one pagoda
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Rooftop garden
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent value for money - new, clean, good interior lighting. Basic room but adequate
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The roof top bar was amazing and so was the art. Some things didn't work that well but the staff was happy to help fix them.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very good to stay. Good location. Clean room. Reasonable price.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Good hotel near the pagoda - Simple but great hotel. Only a short walk to Shwedagon Pagoda. Breakfast is pretty good as you can order from the menu which has a variety of options such as pancakes, fried eggs, toasties etc. Roof top area is nice in the evenings to look at the Pagoda too. If you can pay the slight extra and go for a room with a window, it makes a difference!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Awesome - Awesome
- Julie (8/5): happy - glad to atay at your hotel.
- nor aza (10/5): night in yangon - great stay. staffs are friendly and helpful. keep up good work! bed and pillow are comfy.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice hotel, not far from any pagoda in yangon. Hotel staffs almost have to help me all trip.
- Elaine (6/5): Not so nice room - Bedroom tiny and without window. There are other bedrooms with window in the hotel, but you have to pay an extra, so pay attention of what kind of room you're booking. Another problem in my opinion is the shower with no glass door. You take a shower and the whole bathroom (also tiny) get completely wet. Positive point: the bed is comfortable The locations is good, and the breakfast is also a positive point.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good location to pagoda and market
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The hotel is very basic. It sits in the heart of the residence area of Yangon. And it's walking distance to Shwedagon. But the room is very small and shower is broken.
- JUDY (8/5): - THE HOTEL IS VERY CLEAN AND LOCATION IS CONVENIENCE AS IT IS NEAR TO GOLDEN PAGODA
- JOSEPH (10/5): - Beautiful roof deck with a killer view. Cold air conditioning. Tasty breakfast. Friendly staff. Nice local neighborhood to wander around in.
- Steven (10/5): Nice place to stay in a convenient location - I was very pleased with my stay at Merchant Hotel. The facilities are quite nice, the complimentary breakfast was quite good, prices were very reasonable for the dinner meals, the staff were all gracious and courteous.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good Shwedagon night view while dinner on the rooftop Very nice staffs
- Jason (10/5): - Best deal in Yangon. It was my 4th stay and I continue to be impressed. Impossible to find nicer hotel staff. The breakfast is excellent. The top floor view of the Pagoda is fantastic. The artwork - well, you'll need to see to believe. Always taxis available. The facility is extremely clean. I'm in Asia often and have stayed at all types and sizes of hotels. The Merchant Art is by far the best overall experience. BTW, check out the Yangon Bakehouse - it's a restaurant which supports the plight of migrant women. Excellent lunch.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Most happy to stay here again. - Good location, friendly and helpful staff. Excellent local restaurant near the hotel.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Hotel is nice and modern however, the room was quite uncomfortable. Room 615 was at the end of the corridor and the AIRCON was placed at an odd corner of the room beside a cabinet which blocked the flow of the cold air. Even without the cabinet, the AIRCON wouldn’t have been enough to reach the far side of the room. Had to request for a portable fan which helped very little. Extremely hot inside the bathroom as well. Exhaust fan wasn’t enough.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Clean and comfortable and very clsoe to Shwedagon - Great place to stay close to the Shwedagon pagoda/temple complex. Hotel was clean and comfortable. Room was very comfy. Easy walk to the temple. Not such an easy walk to downtown. Distance isn't a problem - traffic and lack of sidewalks is the issue. If you're making a quick stop in Yangon before going somewhere else in Myanmar and you're only interested in seeing Shwedagaon, you can't beat staying at this place.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice Staff and clean environment. Convenient location. Not the best food offer including breakfast.
- Noor (6/5): Very average - Very average - but fine for a night. The word 'boutique' needs to come out this hotel's name immediately. A few suggestions: 1. Get rid of all the garish harsh cool white lighting and change to warm soft lighting throughout the hotel 2. Build a shower screen around the shower - its easy! 3. Make more of the excellent rooftop space 4. Improve the food menu. No-one wants to see chicken nuggets and fish fingers on page 1 of the menu even - if it is just the entrees (unless they are under the age of 8) 5. Those paintings that are meant to make it seem like an art hotel don't work (they wont be to everyone's taste - they certainly weren't to mine).
- kumar (10/5): Nice Hotel closer to Shwedagon Pagoda - Very nice hotel. Helpful staff. Speak decent english to communicate. I do not remember everyone names but remember Kay Kay in the reception. Very nice and friendly and helpful. Breakfast is a decent one. you also can order one or two hot items for free too. Dinner at the terrace is kind of expensive and It was not my favorite one. There are plenty of convenient stores next to hotel. Unfortunately, no decent restaurants next to the hotel. I do not remember seeing any malls next to the hotel. The famous Shwedagon Pagoda is just 10 minutes walk from the hotel. Foreigners have to pay 10000 kyat (approx. 8 dollars) to enter the pagoda.
- svsanuk (8/5): Great hotel for the price - We stayed in total 5 nights in this hotel and we liked it. Price-quality is good. They were very flexible. When we arrived at 7am in the morning from the night bus we could check in early. We could also have a breakfast because we were not going to have the breakfast on our last day since we left too early for the airport. Normally they would charge 6usd for a breakfast which we felt was a bit too much. Nice rooftop bar but also high prices for food and drinks.
- Grace (2/5): It was disappointing to say the least. - The service was very slow. The staff were not in the know of the requirements. The rooms were old and dimly lighted. They did not even provide basic toiletries for a hotel that is mid tier. The images are a far cry from the state of hotel.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Okay hotel close to Shwedagon. Good price. - Clean and comfortable room. Bathroom so small and no shower tray made for wet floor whenever takes a shower- really annoying. Nice helpful staff. WiFi really patchy; could not get it to work in my room at all. Really nice roof terrace but no pool or fitness room. Breakfast was not bad with mix of a la carte and buffet options but the English level of the wait staff meant that my request for gluten-free items fell on deaf ears! Often they had run out of items on the a la carte menu- part and parcel of the country and not really their fault I suspect. All round pretty good value and good location.
- svsanuk (8/5): Lovely hotel in good location - We loved our stay in this hotel. Rooftop bar is great, rooms are good and breakfast is fine with lots of options.
- Chanakan (8/5): We have got a great welcome, support - We arrived early around 10 AM, we got very great support to arrange early check in which ease our plan to be more relaxed. Thank you so much. There was 1 staff, he proactively supported us for check in, and travel information and greetings. First entrance to the hotel, it is clean and modern, we got good feeling at the first and felt satisfied with this decisions. The hotel also provided welcome drink at roof top which we could enjoy scene of Shawedogon pagoda while enjoying our dinner. We could hear the distant praying sound which was very cool. Breakfast offer a la carte great menu. We also enjoyed breakfast very much. Overall facilities are good, only the shower floor is too shallow, water splashed out and made the floor all wet.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Hotel is close to several tourist attractions. Hotel serve good breakfast. Hotel has a good view at the roof. Hotel staffs are friendly.
- Tish (10/5): Nice hotel close to Shwedagon Pagoda - Great service, awesome rooftop view of a Shwedagon
- terry (8/5): Well worth the stay. - The hot breakfast wasn't very hot at all, but this seems to be the normal in almost all hotel stays in Myanmar.
- Jacki (10/5): Clean, Convenient Boutique Hotel near Shwedagon - I enjoyed my stay at Merchant Art Hotel. While it's 20 minute drive to Downtown Yangon, it is just a 10 minute walk to Shwedagon Pagoda. Along the walk there, one can experience local life through the street markets & local food. The food in that area is delicious, including the local restaurant next door. The hotel staff is extremely friendly and helpful, making you feel right at home upon arrival until your departure. Breakfast is also included with the room - a wide spread of options with fried noodles, soup, fruits, eggs, juice, coffee.. as well as more options on the menu. This chic, modern hotel is also known for it's eclectic art gallery located inside the restaurant in the back of the lobby and on every floor. Safe, convenient location.. I'd highly recommend it!
- Rio (10/5): Artsy hotel in the middle of everything - We were always greeted with smiles may it be from the front desk, the hallways, the restaurant or the roof top bar. The staff are attentive, thoughtful and nice. Though there may be problems with conversing in English they make up for it by making sure you feel welcome and comfortable. The building and facilities are relatively new and in good condition but what will catch your attention are the artworks along he hallways and the unique wall papers/wall decorations on headboards. The food was sumptuous and filling but I would have hoped that they offer more local delicacies. The location was perfect just a few minutes of taxi ride and you're in the shopping mall, tourist attractions, money changers.
- Verified traveler (6/5): stay at the hotel - Comfortable bed. Shower area is not properly designed so during shower, water splash the whole bathroom. some areas not properly cleaned. Housekeeping services is very prompt and friendly.
- Marcos (10/5): Cozy stay and awesome rooftop - I stayed with my wife on this hotel for 2 nights, everything went fine, our room (Art Concept Double Room) was spacious and comfortable. The hotel staff was really kind, professional and efficient, helping us to arrange the taxis during our stay in Yangon. The check in process was smooth and easy. Location is also convenient, the Shwedagon Pagoda is within walking distance of the hotel (around 20-25 minutes). There is a very convenient ATM on the reception of the hotel and a convenience store (Grab & Go) right in front of. The highlights of the hotel are definitely the breakfast and the rooftop bar/restaurant. Apart from the breakfast buffet you can order additional food such as egg & bacon roll, fried/scrambled/poached eggs, pancakes and many other different western and eastern options. The rooftop bar/restaurant has a great view from the Shwedagon Pagoda at night, the place is quiet and has a nice ambience and environment, the service and food is awesome as well ! It’s the perfect place to relax and drink a beer on the end of the day ! I would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again if I have the chance to !
- Marios (10/5): A very good hotel! - What makes the hotel different is the willingness of its staff to help in any and every way! Fast internet also helped and, well, there's the amazing proximity to the temple and the superb rooftop!
- Michael (8/5): Satisfied honeymooner. !!! - Clean hotel, plenty of water pressure to shower in a country with limited water infrastructure, excellent service, working A/C and great view of Shwedagon. Improvement: TV channels quality. Only 2 channels out of 11 were cleared to watch.
- Estelle (8/5): Convenient location close to the Shwedagon Pagoda - Hotel staff are very friendly, helpful and welcoming which made our stay a very enjoyable experience. Location wise, it's a 10 min walk from the Shwedagon Pagoda, with convenience stalls and street-side vendors located right outside the hotel. The attractions within downtown Yangon are a short taxi ride away. Complimentary drinks are offered from 6-8pm at the hotel's rooftop bar which provides really beautiful views of the Shwedagon at night. Cocktails are available for USD$5 as well. The quality of the rooms are passable - basic, clean and no-frills. Could probably get a nicer room for the same price in Bangkok, but I supppse rooms in Yangon are relatively pricey. In short, it's worth a stay but nothing that I would really shout about.
- HH (6/5): Average stay but value for monies. - Comfortable bed, overall clean. Facilities was ok a bit run down, water heater had problems. But given the price it’s rather value for monies.
- Kristie (10/5): A gem of a hotel - Fantastic hotel with the most amazing views from the rooftop bar. Great breakfast, wonderful staff, and all-around super service.
- Helen (10/5): Lovely - Lovely hotel near Pagoda. Very clean.
- Julia (10/5): A really good choice in Yangon - The view from the roof terrace is wonderful and staff are very friendly and helpful. A clean and modern hotel.
- Luke (8/5): Affordable option close to main tourist sites - A nice hotel that is on a relatively quiet street, but close to the main pagoda. The major selling points are friendly and helpful staff, and a nice rooftop area with a good view of the pagoda.
- Don (10/5): Great hotel, Great Hotel, Great Staff. - The thing that made this hotel for me were the people. The staff were excellent, very helpful and wanting to make your stay special. I think hotels from around the world could learn a lot about customer service from this this small hotel. The location is just blocks from the Shwedagon Pagoda, one of Yangon's highlights. Around the hotel is a local market selling everything from fruits to flowers to Buda statues. You can even watch craftspeople work on art within blocks of the hotel.
- Nellie E (8/5): - Very busy area near the Pagoda.
- Chris (10/5): Nice stay - Staff here are incredibly attentive and will stop at nothing to help. Location is good for walking around Yangon also.
- Wida (8/5): Good Food with Superb Rooftop view - Friendly staff with very good service, good breakfast, comfy bed and wonderful view on the rooftop!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Very nice hotel - Very nice hotel. The teak furniture was especially nice. Not in the best neighborhood. But the Shwedagon pagoda was right there! And there is a rooftop beer garden with a view of the pagoda.
- ning (6/5): close to pagoda - room facilities are very basic,not able to claim as 4stars hotel.the towels are old n not thick towel to give the comfort. bed matress is hard the staffs are very friendly n good in service
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great Stay - The place is very nice and comfortable -- the furnitures and the decos are very new. The teak floor and furnitures made feel immediately at home. It's right next to the Pagoda. The local area is not as nice though. Not much to do at night. Although there are some good restaurants in the vicinity. The hotel itself also has a rooftop bar with a view of the Pagoda. But overall, the hotel is nice, clean, and comfortable.
- MYO AUNG (8/5): A good stay. Frequent customer here. - - Central Location in Yangon. Very near to Shwe Dagon Pagoda. Easy access to the main road. - Hotel rooms are very clean. - The hotel staff was quite friendly and helpful.However, the hotel security was not so willing to look out the cars for us whenever we left hotel parking to the street since it is a narrow street with high congestion and it would be better if he help to look out the cars. - Breakfast is limited but it was good. - The light in the room can be dim at times.
- Rick (8/5): Nice hotel, run well. - Stayed here for 7 nights over a 3 week period while i travvelled to other locations in Myanmar. Staff are excellent, maybe send some to english language lessons. Good to see the rooftop restarant being renovated, while i was there.
- Pansinee (8/5): New hotel clean and tidy - Hotel staff was good, can speak english. Room was clean and tidy. Breakfast various and good. Air condorion a bit small so the room get to the right templeture quit slow. But overall was good at this price.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Would go back to this hotel - Very attentive staff, clean room, very good food, excellent atmosphere. Convenient walk to local sites.
- Sum Lok (8/5): a cozy hotel - Hotel is clean, got small insects around the table but think it is ok considering there're trees just outside. Room is spacious and water pressure is good enough. Staffs are nice and helpful. You can view the Shwedagon Pagoda on the rooftop. Breakfast has buffet and also a menu with extra food you can order. Choice of food is ok. The area has many local food stalls. I suggest you to use the apps grab to get a taxi, I reached most of my destinatioin within 10 mins, and around 20 mins from the airport when no traffic jam.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Central to everything - Hotel staff very friendly and efficient. Room was clean and comfortable. The hotel itself was central to everything we needed to see. Great views from the rooftop. I would recommend this hotel. Only thing I would like to see is if the hotel would have a pool next time we visit for those hot days.
- Yasmin (8/5): Proximity to Shwedagon but off the beaten track - Overall, our stay was satisfactory especially that service was truly impeccable and the Shwedagon was only a short walk away (though uphill). However, the environs is a bit on the dirty side and the roofdeck, where one could see the Shwedagon supposedly, was unfortunately closed at the time of our visit. Also breakfast fare was a bit limited. But then again it served our purpose, proximity to Shwedagon, so it was still good.
- vashi (10/5): superb & relaxing - from the moment we entered we were relaxed , the warm smile from the reception staff especially mr yuvaraj , he made our entire stay comfortable attending to all our needs. the view from the hotel top is too good, ideal for selfies :), surely we will stay here only when we visit yangon again soon !!!
- Brian (10/5): Great views - The hotel is extremely modern inside. The service is great. The staff are always trying to make sure of our comfort and there were no hidden costs with our stay. It is very close to the pagoda with a rooftop restaurant view of it as well.
- UNg (8/5): Basic room with good breakfast - We chose the hotel due to its proximity to the Shwedagon Pagoda (about 10mins' walk). The room was quite basic and a bit noisy as we could hear people talking outside. It had no view at all as our room was right next to another building. The whole bathroom would get wet after taking shower and slippers were not provided. Corridor was a bit dark and eerie. On the other hand, the breakfast was much better. Besides having the usual buffet-style breakfast, we could also order from the menu. Pancakes, sandwiches, egg benedict, salads etc. were available. We were also given welcome drinks (banana lassi) at the bar lounge. Overall, the hotel is still good for one or two nights stay.
- aron (10/5): Great position helpful saff - Good breakfast Good position Interesting area We had a great time
- Eng Teck (4/5): - It's a 3-star hotel, probably only 2-star, rated as a 4-star hotel!!!!! Without swimming pool and gymnasium how can it qualify as a 4-star hotel. Every morning, water melon and bananas are the only fruits offered for the buffet breakfast!! The bathroom was even more pathetic!!! Only shower curtain was offered to partition the shower area. After bath, the whole bathroom floor is flooded as there is no curb around the bathing area!!!! As a result the whole toilet floor is stained with scum!!!
- WendellFr (8/5): Nice hotel. - The in-bathroom shower are an accident waiting to happen! I slipped on the marble floor twice as there isn't any border in between the shower and the toilet area and the floor is extremely slippery. Quite dangerous.
- Rita (6/5): Nice modern hotel, shame that the beds are so hard - Hotel is new and modern close to main pagodas. The beds are very low and very very firm and we found airconditioner struggled to keep the room cool. The bathroom became very dangerous when anyone had a shower at they have outlined the shower area with raised tile, the shower curtain does not come to the floor nor does it go around the entire shower, so you always end up with at least 3cm of water puddled on the floor at the handbasin, which takes many hours to dry and is always slippery. The breakfast was varied and excellent, they also included items from their bespoke menu which you could choose from, very very good. The rooftop was closed the entire time we were there.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice clean hotel near Shwe Da Gon Pagoda - Good hotel, close to pagoda, and facilities are good. Very clean and friendly staff. Only negative is that the area around is quite run down and food options are a bit limited.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Boutique, no. - The bathroom was completely objectionable. You had to virtually step on the door stop to sit on the toilet which obviously need to be closed. The shower is less than one foot from the toilet. It would be unmanageable for 2 people.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Service is very good, hotel's personals very kind and have a spirit of service. Breakfast and bed are good but a shower room is not convenience, after shower is wet everywhere, very dangerous ! I've stay twice times because this hotel is nearly Swedagan Pagoda and Aung Thu Kha (very good Burmese's restaurant).
- Nanthanee (10/5): - It's one of the best location near Shwedagon Pagoda and the Kandawmin Garden Mausoleam : a mausoleum complex in Yangon in memory of Supayalat, queen consort of the last king of Myanmar.
- chris (8/5): decent hotel in Yangon - The hotel was simple and easy to get to. Right next to the famous pagoda which is fantastic.
- brent (10/5): Great 3day stay - very friendly and helpful staff who allowed me to check in early at 9am Room was very clean Breakfast fantastic choices
- Olivia (10/5): - Staff were great. We didn't spend much time here due to a delay from previous city. We left too early for breakfast but received a take away one which was nice.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - it has been a nice stay and near to few attractions, but overall did not feel any artistic decor or look in the whole hotel. but instead the staffs was artistic, singing loudly even in the night.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Hotel staff were very polite without being intrusive. I enjoyed the breakfast at the hotel, very homely menu
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great experience!!! I would recommend this hotel to anyone who is visiting Yangon.
- EATxPLAYxLIVE (8/5): Convenient location with night market in vicinity - Although traffic in Yangon is always quite backed up, Merchant Art is located quite conveniently from most tourist destinations. The hotel staff are very kind and are able to offer much assistance to visitors and also knowledgeable about local destinations. There is a local market or street food just down the street and convenient stores are also a short walk away. If you are looking for a quality and budget stay, this is the place for you. The rooftop beer garden also provides stunning sunset views.
- Bernard (8/5): - The hotel is in a great location and it clean. Staff are also very accommodating and helpful when we had issues with the electricity in our room.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - I only stayed in this hotel for one night. The hotel is conveniently located if you want to visit the Shwedagon Pagoda area. The room size was ok and it was clean. The staff was helpful and they even arranged for a box breakfast since I was leaving for the airport early in the morning.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing view - This hotel has an amazing view from the rooftop deck. That alone is worth the stay. The location is equally as awesome since it's just a short walk to some of the greatest sites. The only drawback is very hard beds.
