Must-see hotels in Myanmar (Burma)

  • New Yangon Hotel

    Yangon

    Not many of the rooms in this modern hotel, close by Lan Thit Jetty, offer views of the river. Never mind; the rooftop breakfast room and bar does, and…

  • Global Grace

    Myanmar (Burma)

    A fairly ho-hum midrange option, Global Grace has well-equipped rooms with kettles and minibars, clean-swept wood floors and hot-water bathrooms. Look for…

  • Sunny Paradise Resort

    Myanmar (Burma)

    Yet another imposing compound north of the village, Sunny Paradise offers attractive, well-equipped wooden bungalows and garden-view rooms – only the…

  • May Fair Inn

    Yangon

    Family-run and reliable, this old-fashioned place is best for the traveller looking for tranquillity rather than a party. The cheapest rooms only offer…

  • Shin Hong Hotel

    Chin State

    If being within walking distance of the bus station is vital, the institutional-looking Shin Hong will do. The rooms are of adequate size, but there's no…

  • White House Hotel

    Yangon

    The pluses here are a rooftop terrace and a sparkling new ground-floor cafe. The negatives: no lift and a thigh-burning number of steep stairs, small and …

  • Hostel9

    Yangon

    This Chinatown hostel (look for the sign 'SleepIn') offers reasonably sized dorms and private rooms, although all share bathrooms and some lack windows…

  • Royal City Hotel

    Mandalay

    This long-lasting, traveller-oriented, lower-midrange hotel has a lovely roof garden, helpful staff, good location and decent rooms – nothing too…

  • 4 Rivers Youth Hostel

    Yangon

    Don't expect windows, but the dorms are clean, if compact, with comfortable beds. There's a small communal area and kitchen (just a microwave and fridge…

  • MGM Hotel

    Yangon

    Solid if unspectacular digs on the western edge of downtown. Rooms vary in size, but all are well maintained and come with windows and reasonable…

  • Yangon Airport Hotel

    Yangon

    If you need to be close by the airport, this no-frills but perfectly pleasant and clean hotel will serve your needs. It also provides free transfer to the…

  • Shwe Taung Tarn

    Myanmar (Burma)

    Budget-minded Shwe Taung Tarn has ageing rooms and an unkempt facade, but it's tolerable for a night. The more expensive bungalows appear to be almost…

  • Nylon Hotel

    Mandalay

    There are two annexes at this longstanding backpacker classic; go for the newer one, which has reasonably sized, light rooms with modern bathrooms, even…

  • 20th Street Hostel

    Yangon

    Cramped dorms and functional rooms, all with shared bathrooms and many without windows. But they are clean, the price is right for downtown Yangon and the…

  • Ocean Pearl Inn

    Yangon

    Nothing outstanding, but offers reasonably clean rooms at a budget price with a basic breakfast thrown in.

  • Honey Hotel

    Myanmar (Burma)

    Right on the lake in the southern tip of the town centre, this rambling guesthouse is Meiktila’s leading budget option. Rooms are slightly scruffy, tiled…

  • Rolex Guest House

    Myanmar (Burma)

    This rambling old guesthouse, on the roundabout facing the bridge entry, doesn't quite live up to the namesake timepiece. It has small, ageing rooms with…

  • Rih Restaurant & Bungalows

    Chin State

    The 12 grubby, tatty bungalows here (no fan, hard beds) aren't recommended, but if you want to stay by Rih Lake, it's the only option. There's an outdoor…

  • AD1 Hotel

    Mandalay

    One of the cheapest deals in town for hardcore solo backpackers, AD 1 offers basic, ramschackle, functional rooms. It's just off vibrant ‘onion market…

  • Rung Guest House

    Chin State

    Run-down and haggard and still overpriced, Rung is best as a last resort if other guesthouses are booked. The more expensive rooms come with their own…
