MGM Hotel

We booked our stay in this hotel for the location and low cost. While it is still part of downtown, it is a bit far from the real center which is around 10 minutes away by car. Since Grab Taxi is so affordable in Myanmar, along with a lot of other things, it was no problem. Nearby there are lots of restaurants and grocery stores which was so convenient. Junction Centre, a small mall is around 10 minutes away on foot.||||The biggest bonus we got was the rooms. We originally booked 4 separate single rooms but for some reason we got 4 famiy rooms, each one big enough for 3 people! Towels and bottled water were replenished daily. Bathroom was super spacious, but the heater did not work in mine. Wifi was spotty but good when you stay connected.||||Breakfast is so so, understable for the total price. It consists of rice, noodles, 2-3 types of veggie dishes, bread to toast, fruits, juices and coffee. Maybe good for vegans, if not by the 2nd day you will already look for some meat!||||Lobby staff was friendly and always ready to help.||||All in all we couldnt complain. A very good 3 star hotel for a short stay in Yangon.

Price is cheap and near downtown. You can pay Kpay and Wave. Spacious, comfortable and large bathroom but weak shower. Wifi is not good. There is no parking area. You can't expect anything more than a place to sleep.

Staff is on point with all your needs and very helpful with directions and the girl at the front desk is so sweet and speaks many languages. breakfast is free with room and very tasty. The only con I have is the rooms are not as nice as they showed in the photos when I booked it.

This was a decent place, with very accommodating service... Quick check-in, and they granted me a very late check-out for no additional charge-- which was great, because I was able to enjoy a morning & lunch at the funpark near Shwedagon, then hit the room to pack, relax & shower before catching an overnight bus to Bagan...||It was a worn but spacious room & bathroom, with a comfortable bed and a rainfall shower. Looked like some rooms had DVD players, though mine did not. My room did have a leaky toilet, which was probably the only negative...||Breakfast buffet was small/simple, but adequate enough to start the day: fried eggs daily, rotating vegetarian fare (fried rice/noodles/potatoes/beans), toast, fruit, coffee, tea, juice, water). Not too bad, though it was served in a windowless room...||Great location! 24-hour convenience stores right around the corner, pretty tasty restaurants next door & across the street, short walking distance to a few malls/banks/hospital, and a long-ish walk (20 minutes?) to the neighborhood with various embassies. Taxis always out front, too... All in all, it did the job and the price was right!

Bathroom with shower, washbasin and toilet is adequate in size and clean. Floor 10 has been renovated recently.we have been told. Unaceptable is the exterior, reception area, lifts and breakfast rooms as they are dirty and need urgent renovation. Breakfast is Asian buffet with noodles, rice, eggs, vegetables etc. reasonable in quantity and variety. It is advisable not to look into the kitchen prior to eating.

I just got in Yangon yesterday and the night before i booked as mentioned on the latest Lonely as a cheap hotel. Done a bit of research on google to see photos and i booked it. As soon as I got to the reception took a little while to check my reservation but finally, after having me offered a bottle of water i got to my room. Not good very hot looks dated and the toilet was 2 m square with the wc and shower basically one beside the other.||Air conditioning was ok bit old and no matter the temperature you were fixing it seemed to be the same... freezing. The staff i have to say was very good, i guess at list that had to work on the service to survive. Ops nearly forgot the wifi was good that gave me 2 different access one for the phone the other for the mac. Today i checked out in a way nicer place, is xmas eve i deserve better. So if you want to spend $20 USD no matter what this is the place, dated but with good service and an effort to be clean.

I been stay in this hotel for 7 nights. MGM is at downtown, near to chinatown & some markets, is located strategic location. My room is clean but a little bit noice from KTV(karaoke). My room was on 5th floor. I had a problem with their very slow Wifi.||The staffs were very helpful & friendly. Good buffet breakfast on the 6th floor. Many restaurants near were O.K. Reasonable price for hotel in Yangon.

I stayed at M.G.M. hotel for the second time (first time was in June 2015). My stay now was from 4 to 14 December 2017. The reason I selected this hotel was on the first place because of the interesting location (at least for me). Yangon is gradually becoming a hellhole of traffic jams. However, taxis starting at M.G.M. hotel find easily their way as well to Pyay Road and the airport as to the city center. At the same time, the hotel is near to a number of green lanes where one can still observe authentic Burmese daily life. As for the hotel itself, it's a place where you can feel at ease. The staff is friendly, polite and helpful. I knew from my previous stay that I should avoid sleeping in a room above the Karaoke bar on the second floor. I slept on the 8th floor, where at night it was quiet except for the barking of swerving groups of dogs. These dogs are very peaceful during the day but seemingly become aggressive when they form kind of gangs during the night. Breakfast at M.G.M. hotel is good and abundant. However, if you like the rice, noodles, vegetables, eggs, etc... warm, rather enjoy them at 7 AM and not at 9 AM. On the first floor there's a good Chinese restaurant, and around the hotel restaurants of all categories and prices abound. Just next door is the Japanese restaurant Doreen. There's foot massage available just at the right side of the hotel and also at other places at walking distance. Walking briskly you can reach Scott Market and Sule Pagoda in the city center in less than half an hour. Guided by a Licensed Tour Guide (Than Than Htwe@Hannah), I needed more time, but I learned a lot about the history and heritage value of buildings in Chinatown and the Indian quarter. While working in my hotel room, I experienced that WIFI quality had much improved since 2015, but sometimes download speed was still too low.
