Chinatown Hotels with Air Conditioning

"The staff at check in were really nice and the room was very clean when we entered. However that is the only positives of this property. We stayed for two nights and on the second night we tried to order room service but the phones were not working. So I walk down to the lobby and speak with hotel staff about the issue and they told me they are currently upgrading their phone system. Staff at check in did not mention this and I feel they should have. What if there is an emergency and they are trying or need to call the rooms how would we know we are trying to be reached if phones don’t work. The staff offered to send someone up to take our order for room service so I go back to my room ended up waiting 20 minutes and no one arrived to take order. Go back downstairs I speak to the staff and I’m irritated they apologize and say someone will be there shortly by this point I don’t want to spend anymore money at this property so I declined and all they could do was say sorry. I will not stay at any Melia property ever again. Word of advice stay at a Pan Pacific or Novotel they are way better then this chain hotel that says they are 4.5 star when they are actually 2.5 stars"

"Very good breakfast"

"Very convenience"

"Nice Ambience and good staff service."

"The best Breakfast buffet in Yangon. "

"I loved the unique decoration styles throughout the lounges—they give the place a luxurious charm. The rooms are very clean, but the building itself feels older and could use some updates. The staff were wonderful: friendly, pleasant, and never intrusive. My favorite part was the swimming pool. With palm trees all around and the gym close by, it felt like stepping into a tropical forest from a distant era, complete with antique touches in the design. Breakfast offered a few Burmese dishes, though I wish there were more choices."

"One-Star Review for Best Western Chinatown Hotel, Yangon. Absolutely Disgusting and Overpriced – Avoid at All Costs! False Advertising at Its WorstI booked a 12-night stay here through Expedia (split into two prepaid bookings: Nov 5-8 and Nov 8-17, 2025), expecting a decent Best Western standard based on the branding, photos, and description suggesting a modern, clean upscale hotel in a convenient location. What I got was a filthy, infested dump that doesn't even deserve two stars, charging prices comparable to actual five-star properties like the Pan Pacific Yangon (where I fortunately moved after just two nights).From the moment I checked in, it was a nightmare:The room was dirty with visible grime. Cockroaches scurried around openly. The toilet was constantly blocked (even when empty), and when I called for help, a staff member tried to unclog it with his bare hand wrapped in a plastic bag – no plunger, utterly unhygienic! I woke up covered in insect bites from the bed bugs or whatever was infesting the linens. Basic amenities were missing: body soap and shampoo dispensers were completely empty on arrival. When I requested refills, staff showed up with diluted mixtures in old water bottles, half-filled the dispensers, refused to top them up properly, and then tracked muddy footprints all over the bathroom floor and even onto the towels. Lights flickered constantly. Internet dropped out repeatedly or didn't work at all. Power outages (common in Yangon) were made worse "

"The hotel is elegant and we were well taken care of. Our Butler, Chris, provided exceptional service at every turn. We enjoyed dining at the hotel and found out meals well prepared and nicely spiced. We will be happy to return to The Strand."

"No, can't switch rooms due to limited vacant rooms. the building is so old and has odor. All the manager and staff states there is no odor where they senses used to it."
