    We had a great stay at the hostel! The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff went out of their way to accommodate our early arrival. The rooftop terrace with its stunning city view was a nice touch, and we enjoyed the complimentary coffee and tea. The location was perfect, with easy access to nearby landmarks and attractions. We will definitely choose this hostel again when visiting.

    Nothing, everything was perfect! 😊

    I recently stayed at a cozy hostel in downtown. The beds in the female dorm were comfortable and the set-up was great. The small rooms had curtains for privacy. The staff were very nice, even though some had limited English skills. The location was central and convenient, and I will definitely stay here again!

    Would recommend this hostel.

    I had a wonderful stay at the Backpacker in Yangon. The location was great, making it easy for me to explore the city and visit the nearby attractions. The staff was friendly and accommodating, always ready to assist me with any questions or needs I had. The views from the terrace were absolutely beautiful, providing a great spot to relax and take in the cityscape. I appreciated the privacy provided by the curtains around the beds in the dorm room, and having a personal locker was a huge convenience. I had a pleasant experience at the Backpacker and would recommend it to others.

    The rooftop view was amazing and definitely the best part of my stay. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable, with a thick curtain for privacy. The staff were friendly and helpful. I also appreciated the free breakfast and the all-day availability of coffee, juice, and water.

    One negative aspect was the difficulty in finding the hotel. The road leading to the hotel was quite scary, especially at night when I had to walk alone.

    The location of the hotel is excellent, close to everything you need. It is conveniently located next to a bus stop, making it easy to explore the city. There are also plenty of restaurants nearby, offering a variety of dining options. The staff at the hotel are extremely helpful and friendly, providing great service throughout your stay. The rooms are clean and comfortable, with all the necessary amenities. The breakfast offered at the hotel is delicious, with a wide selection of options to choose from.

    One minor downside is that the wooden lockers in the rooms do not lock properly, which could be a security concern.

    Convenient location, easy to find with landmarks. Welcoming staff and attentive cleaning crew. Comfortable beds, good sleep. Nice breakfast options and all-day free tea, juice, and coffee. Rooftop balcony with great city and port views.

    The hotel is conveniently located near the river, making it easy to get a taxi and explore nearby attractions. Its central location in the city centre is also a plus. The rooms are nice, big, and clean, providing a comfortable stay. The breakfast offers a variety of options, including Asian noodles, toast, eggs, and fruits. The common room is a great escape from the heat outside.

    The rooftop space could be made more comfortable, as one reviewer mentioned it wasn't as cozy as expected.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Backpacker in Yangon. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. The bed in my room was comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep after a long day exploring the city. I also appreciated the fact that breakfast was included and that I had the option to order lunch and dinner if I wanted. The location of the hostel was perfect, right in the heart of downtown Yangon. The WiFi connection was strong, allowing me to stay connected throughout my stay. I highly recommend Backpacker for its welcoming atmosphere, convenient amenities, and excellent location.
