If it seems to you that prices for accommodation in Yangon hotels are exorbitantly high (both in the main tourist center of the country), then take a deep breath and try to relax. Indeed, the prices for accommodation in Burma are higher than in neighboring countries - it can be said that you will give twice as much money than in Thailand for the rooms, twice as worse than in Laos. Naturally, it is impossible to scratch under one comb, and in Myanmar there are chic hotels (or close to chic), but in general, the situation today is as follows. Especially in the trading capital of the country, Yangon.
But everything slowly changes. It can be said that Myanmar is changing every day per day, it becomes more and more cultural, structured, affordable, so the number and condition of guest houses and hotels is improving, in Yangon, in particular. True, prices are still high, but at least standards grow! Although a little bit, but grow! The new generation of hotels is growing in the former capital, like mushrooms - to unload old expensive hotels, take over the unpretentious tourists, and we, tourists, it is only on your hand. Here is a list of the best hotels and guest houses with adequate or low prices in Yangon, as well as a couple of tips that will help you reduce costs during a trip to those edges.
The first steps in choosing an inexpensive hotel in Yangon a little disarm and disappoint. To begin with, you will have to reduce your expectations and requirements. For example, in high season there are problems with electricity, the speed of Wi-Fi is not so high, and the numbers often a sharp smell (or cigarette, even if you ordered non-smoking room), even if you are lucky to get a room with a window (naturally, there is And without windows). Nevertheless, most hotels are able to offer what foreign tourists are used to: a number of additional services, free Wi-Fi, a breakfast included, transportation options and laundry facilities. There was a tendency to offer air-conditioned rooms, as well as rooms with private bathrooms for a couple of additional dollars (I remind you about inexpensive versions - everything is very worthy in hotels in the hotels).
If possible, it is better to travel with a partner. Of course, it sounds a little strange, but the fact is that the difference in price between the same and double room, of course, is often not so big (more often about $ 5-10), but in the end you can reduce costs almost twice.
The best inexpensive accommodation is located in the center of Yangon. And it costs at least $ 20-30 per day. There are, of course, excellent hotels near the core of the city: THE HNINN SI BUDGET INN (about $ 27-30 per night for two), probably, it is worth noting first, for their immaculately clean rooms. Charming hotel Motherland Inn 2. (Number for two $ 22-25) deserved attention thanks to the free daily transfers in and from the airport, which will help you save a decent amount of Chiat, and the rooms with air-conditioned rooms are more than good.
If you want to settle in the city center, take a look at the guest house CHAN MYAYE GUESTHOUSE. . Recently, another floor has been added there with cheap numbers (somewhere $ 14-15), and older rooms, where the price corresponds to the comforts offered ($ 20-35).
Neighboring Cherry Guesthouse. (numbers from $ 20) are much less variety and number of rooms, but more comfort and a longer list of amenities and services. However, hot water is not always on this list. If you are looking for a hotel for a relaxed relaxing holiday, select BEAUTYLAND Hotel 2. (Two rooms from $ 25), which is located in the same area.
Enchanted local flavor you can offer a guest house Golden Star Guesthouse. ($ 25): Here and under the windows, the real city bustle is happening under the windows, and the Gasthaus itself is interesting in this regard. Do not worry and do not be afraid ahead of time, having entered the crude and dark entrance, on the stairs, forever sising with screaming local kids: It is this guest house that one of the most comfortable and cheap places in the dormitory room in the whole city and one of the most pretty neglected numbers.
Prefer May Fair Inn. In the event that you want to settle in the immediate vicinity of the busy streets of the city, but at the same time live in silence. Family small hotel will offer good clean rooms with air conditioning, well, in addition to the bed in the rooms except the table and a plastic chair. Hot water in the bathrooms have, there is a shower and toilet, and that nice is a bright clean tile. In this hotel you will have to pay only by dollars (it has been done): $ 20 dollars per single room, double - from $ 30.
Another interesting guest house - Cherry Guest House. . In most of his rooms, however, there is no hot water, in some places there are no windows, but the "cherry house" is one of the cleanest and neat budget hotels in Yangon. Single rooms are there about $ 20 per night there, double rooms - about $ 25, triple - from $ 40. If you stop more than three nights, prepayment is required. The most decent numbers are on the upper floors (with hot water, more spacious and cozy, even with a balcony and a good view of Yangon). The advance book reservation of this hotel is required, as sometimes the rooms are "scored" in two months.
If you - Tourist on the budget , that is, the money is completely small, then one of the lowest prices for accommodation in the city center may offer Daddy's Home Hotel ($ 15). It certainly for those who have nothing to lose: bare rooms are mainly without windows. What is good? Is that the price. At the same time, to book a room, it is better to call there, because, say, on the Agoda website, you often do not exhibit the most inexpensive rooms, and put "luxury" (in quotes, comrades!), With air conditioning and private bathrooms.
One more very inexpensive, but a decent option - Agga Guest House. . Guest house with all his appearance proves that Yangon is gradually becoming more friendly for independent tourists. Of course, on the view of this hotel - not "Laksheri", and the walls are thin, but it is clean and cheap there. True, there is a hotel in such an area that evenings are quite noisy here, but then $ 11 for a bunk bed, $ 16 for a single and $ 25 for a double room - it is very nice. In addition, the location is excellent: the Chinese quarter is just in several streets from the guest house, so, to numerous restaurants with hand to file. Other places of interest within walking distance - Photogenic Pagoda Sulu.
Move to the north of the city, closer to Lake Inya . If you count on average housing prices, then the excellent choice will be Bike World Bed and Breakfast ($ 50-65). This is a cheerful and beautiful hotel, with rolled out of really good bicycles, as well as the proposed weekly and night spotted cycling tours. The same bicycle ride is not interested, you can offer ROYAL WHITE ELEPHANT HOTEL ($ 55), just not far from the lake. The hotel is really good, and the rooms would be worth two times there, if it were in the city center.
Another hotel approximately this price category - Bo Myat Tun Hotel . This is not a hotel for those who give luxury, but the hotel can provide good conditions for living: air conditioning, comfortable beds, plus to all this good location in the city center and magnificent view of Yangon. Those pictures that you will see on the Internet may differ slightly from reality: each room in a degree of degree differ in size and conditions.
For those who did not decide not to bother on hotels, and those who want to settle really in a comfortable place can be considered Aung Tha Pyay Hotel (numbers about $ 75). By the way, the hotel building is a former brewing plant. East Hotel (prices from $ 100), located north of Pagoda Sulu, looks like a modern boutique hotel, and is one of the most inexpensive accommodation among high-class hotels in the whole city.
It can be noted that the hotel's advance booking is becoming less important and necessary for a trip to Burma than even it was even a year ago. But all the same, Yangon and the area near Lake Inle - the popular zones and in this sense are problematic, so it is much wiser to choose the accommodation option in advance.
