We stayed at Yankin on our first night in Myanmar - after a long travel (2 days from UK via HK) we were late getting in. Reception was dealt with quickly, and although the restaurant was closed, they found some beers for us, and allowed us to use the facilities to eat food which we obtained from nearby. Rooms were good, clean and well equipped. Breakfast was great, with omelettes cooked to order as well as the usual buffet fare. We travelled rounf Myanmar and returned to this hotel 2 weeks later to the same standard of service. Can't comment on the nearby ameneties, or the area in general as we were merely 'passing through' and needed a bed for the night. Overall, a good hotel with everything you need for a short stay. Probably not best location if you want a week here, but for us it was ideal. (We stayed in March, but Trip Advisor is playing up and keeps defaulting to todays date!)

Where to begin...usually I don’t like to leave negative reviews (and never have done before) but feel I ought to relay my experience here to help others avoid this place. I checked in on the 17th Jan for 4 nights, and was most surprised by the frosty reception received from the two ladies at the reception desk. I had been expecting the usual welcoming reception after 3.5 weeks of travelling in Myanmar. Not a hello, not a smile, in fact not even any eye contact. One silently took my passport that I had put on the desk to photocopy, and the other told me to pay for the entire stay upfront. (Only time I came across this in Myanmar). I received no information about breakfast or anything else. I had booked a superior room and was allocated a room on the 1st floor. The stale smell was overpowering. The room was covered in layers of dirt, was dusty and badly maintained, and had lots of squashed mosquitoes all over the walls. Towels seemed very old and also smelt dreadful. WiFi was bad. Breakfast had no Asian vegetarian options except on one occasion fried rice, and on another cold French fries. So I was stuck with toast, a croissant, or a banana every day. The location of this hotel I found to be awful. It’s just off a main road with about 6 lanes of traffic, which makes crossing it very difficult as the traffic is 24/7. Did not see any other tourists on the streets, and the area is generally very run down. It is outside the city centre and takes a long time to get there with the heavy traffic. One evening it took me an hour in a taxi. I walked around the local area anyway, in several directions, to find the ‘many restaurants’ that were supposedly nearby. There were some very rustic looking places to eat, but none looked like the type of place you could eat at without risking possible stomach issues. So, having had food poisoning in Bagan, I ate in the hotel to be safe. Food was overpriced, and just ok bordering on bad. They then add 15% taxes which you aren’t charged in the vast majority of restaurants. Also, once you have paid this stupid price, the lady may say to you ‘no change, ok?’ when they have no change available! I left some laundry for housekeeping: 7 t-shirts, 1 vest and 1 shirt. It was returned to me smelling of that awful stale smell the rooms had - basically in worse condition than it was in the first place, and had most decidedly not been cleaned to an acceptable standard. The hotel laundry prices are of course, ridiculous. I sent the laundry back, and it was again returned the next day still not clean, so I had to wash most items by hand in the sink. On check out, housekeeping had filled in that I had left in 7 blouses, which resulted in the price being increased by 6,500 kyats. Luckily I had taken a photo of the docket I filled in, and showed the staff. I pointed out that there was only 1 shirt, and all of the others were (size small) cotton t-shirts, and they had short capped sleeves. Apparently ‘it is not depending on the sleeves’. Right. So I asked what qualifies as a t-shirt but they were unable to tell me. Housekeeping was called out to reception and a 15 minute long discussion ensued between the three staff, with the housekeeper arguing that my t-shirts were blouses. I told him that I know my own clothes and that I would be paying the price as per my docket, which was 14,500. They finally revised the bill to 15,000. The whole thing was just handled so unprofessionally. I was starting to really lose patience at this point as I was 15 mins late for my airport transfer. I told them I would pay the 15,000 kyats in the same currency, but they converted it to dollars. I checked the exchange rate, and of course they had inflated it, and would only permit me to pay their high rate in dollars. This situation was again handled very badly.
The only plus points for this hotel were: my bed was comfortable and the hotel was quiet, I slept well. (Possibly due to travellers more sensible than myself staying elsewhere.) Also, the porter at the hotel was very pleasant and helpful. He would come up with mosquito spray for the room and help with booking taxis or with any other general queries. Taxis were readily available. If you’re still reading this, in my opinion, this hotel is to be avoided at all costs. I wish I had paid a little more to stay in the city centre. If you choose to stay at Hotel Yankin they’ll find ways to extract the additional money from you in other ways anyway, so you may as well pay more and have a nice central hotel with pleasant staff.

Dear Madam Beaumont,

Mingalarbar. Warm greetings from Hotel Yankin.

First of all, we would like to thank you for choosing Hotel Yankin as your choice of accommodation in Yangon. We are very sorry for the inconveniences you have faced during your stay at our Hotel. We appreciate that you have given your time to write a detailed review towards us. And we are sorry for the late response as we were investigating the root causes of some issues in details.

The main probable cause of the unsatisfactory service that you experienced might be because there were some newly appointed employees in most of the departments, who were still undergoing on-job-training at that time.
We always change the used towels in daily basis as you had seen, and send to a professional laundry cleaning service. It could be the scent of the laundry detergent (or) the fabric softener, which a few other guests also do not like. Moreover, the old towels and linens are routinely replaced with the new ones.
We are sad to know that you did not like our food. Statistically, over 65% of the Hotel's guests are from the different countries all over the Asia so that most of the main dishes in our buffet breakfast have to suit majority tastes. The breads station, egg station, fruits corner and cereals are available everyday.
The Hotel is not located in the downtown tourist area but located in the center of Yangon that business travellers prefer. Most of the tourist attraction places in the city area can be reached within 30 minutes in normal traffic.
As it is obvious that all costs in Yangon are significantly higher than other towns in Myanmar, the prices are also expected to be higher in Yangon hotels.
Regarding with the laundry issue, it was a sincere mistake done by a new housekeeping staff, who naively thought all ladies' tops are called "blouses" in English, due to his weakness in English language. All credit card point-of-sales devices issued by most Myanmar banks only accept in USD currency if paying by any foreign bank credit card. Since you paid by a foreign bank VISA card, the MMK currency amount has to be converted into USD using the set Hotel's currency exchange rate.

Last but not least, we are glad to know that you had comfortable and quite sleep throughout your stay at Hotel Yankin. And we will convey your good compliment to our bell service (porter) team. We are well noted your comments and will try to improve our service. We look forward to serve you again if we still have another chance. Thank you.

I stayed here two years ago, and I was really happy to return - the hotel is now even better - and the duty manager remembered me from my previous visit (which made me feel especially welcome).

The en-suite double room I’m staying in (6th floor, room no.604) is spacious, clean and well-equipped; the bed is a perfect “not too hard not too soft”, and the sheets and bedclothes are lovely and soft; the bathroom has everything you need and nothing you don’t; and the aircon (very important!) and lighting (from fully bright to just bedside lamps) are absolutely fine too.

Good breakfast - and extremely good coffee - in the light and airy ground floor restaurant, and very friendly and efficient service from all the staff, from front desk to waiters to housekeeping... but this is Burma after all, and their friendly, smiling and courteous service is better than anywhere else I’ve travelled to!!

Oh, did I mention that all this is for the amazing tariff of $45 per night? Unbelievable value for money...!!!!

Recommended 100% 👍👍👍

Overall decent option for its price range. Nothing remarkable, but comfortable rooms, good range of breakfast options, hospitable staff. Well known to taxi drivers. Internet sometimes spotty. For quieter rooms select on a high floor not facing the main road.
