YAMA HOTEL & ROOFTOP BAR

Absolutely Terrible Experience – Do Not Stay Here This hotel charged us for “damaging” their TV, claiming we somehow updated the system and caused it to stop working. Here’s what really happened: we were simply watching YouTube on the TV when it suddenly turned off. How is that our fault? The manager pulled out their terms and conditions, which apparently state “do not update the TV system”. Excuse me, but why would anyone randomly update a TV system in the middle of the night? That’s absurd. If their system is so sensitive that a regular guest could accidentally cause “damage,” why even offer it as a service? Why wasn’t there a clear warning at check-in? This is beyond ridiculous. At first, they blamed us for water damage to the remote. Then, suddenly, it wasn’t the remote—it was the TV itself! How convenient for them. The lack of professionalism and low-level management here is shocking. If this is how they handle guest issues, they shouldn’t be running a hotel. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Save yourself the frustration and stay somewhere else. This so-called “hotel” is a complete joke.

Nice hotel with fair price in this location. Service is excellent. Staffs are warmly welcome. Rooms are clean. Foods and drinks are good and fair price. There’s a nice chilling area at rooftop bar.

Location - superb, just walking distance to Botathaung Jetty, Ocean Supermarket or Sule Pagoda. Good restaurants, groceries stores are just around the corner. You can also take town bus if you would like to explore further such as China Town. Staff - They are so friendly and always there to help you with thousands smiles ! Facilities - This is budget hotel with all basic facilities including rooftop where breakfast is served. Value for money, strongly recommended.

Every traditional food can be found nearby. Government departments are located nearby. It is quiet and peaceful. The rooms are spacious, and the areas are large.

Before check-in, I asked for early check-in and I checked in very very early. It was 6 am but they kindheartedly welcome us and give us a temporary room to wait until our room is empty (before, it was occupied) and ready. They even upgraded my room to say sorry because I waited. That is very great and their hospitality is very warm and nice. The room is very clean, complete amenities, and spacious. There is also a sofa and a working table so it's perfect for a travel-worker like me. They also packed my breakfast because I check-out early and have no time for breakfast. It was a very great experience to stay in Yama Hotel. Definitely will come back!

The rooms are clean. The staffs are friendly. There no rooftop bar at this moment due to renovation and covid situation. The only problem that I have in counter when I stay is the TV are not fix when I requested but it's not a big deal. I can recommend if you want to stay here and affordable.

We booked this hotel using Agoda, and the price was reasonable. The property allowed us to have both a very early check-in as well as a late check out, which was helpful. They have breakfast included in their rooftop area, which was quite nice. That same area is open in the evening as a restaurant and bar. The rooms were a little more marginal, although the beds were comfortable. I am not a fan of wet shower/bathroom rooms, which this facility has, and as a person with balance issues found myself very concerned about a possible fall in the very slippery shower area. The room itself could’ve used upgrading of paint, holes in the wall, better deep cleaning, curtain treatments and other cosmetic issues. The staff was amazingly helpful, and since I was only using the room as a place to sleep, it was acceptable. Wi-Fi speed was quite slow, and sometimes intermittent. As in many areas in Yangon, power failures can happen at any point in time.

Such a convenience! Very affordable and spacious single rooms, helpful staffs and convenient location. Rooms have acceptable cleanliness and tidiness.
