The price of accommodation in Yangon is largely the same as it was a few years ago, and that means guesthouses and hotels are still relatively cheap. There’s virtually nil in the way of fresh new faces, particularly in the budget and midrange categories, and much of the city’s budget accommodation is as dank and dreary as ever.
The prices quoted here are high-season walk-in rates, but almost all midrange and top-end hotels offer discounts of up to 50%. Many of the midrange and top-end hotels also provide perks such as airport pick-up, internet access and full-service business centres, and all provide some form of breakfast. Only one hotel accepted credit cards at research time and some high-end places also add a 10% service charge and a 10% government tax.
It’s worth noting that all large hotels will have taken part in some financial agreement with the ruling junta to establish their business. Some, like the large Traders Hotel in central Yangon, are joint ventures between foreign companies and the military. Others, such as the Kandawgyi Palace Hotel or the Central Hotel, are owned outright by the government or by those with close military connections. As far as we are aware, those we list have a fairly minimal government ownership share – if any.
