A couple of friends and I had rooms here for several days last October. The rooms themselves are much more run-down than the pictures show. Reasonably clean, but could be improved and the walls and furniture are quite worn. The room is large, with plenty of space for luggage, but the bathroom is very small, so everything gets wet when you shower. The breakfast was not at all suited to westerner guests and tended to run out of food quite early. Location is good, near the Shwedagon, restaurants, malls. Some people might not feel comfortable walking around the immediate neighborhood but I knew it was fine. The staff front desk are friendly and helpful. I stayed in another hotel nearby which was much better for $2 dollars more.
