Good breakfast, wide variety of Myanmar breakfast and bread toasting station, good and spacious dining area.

Nice gym with new equipment, but there wasn't service staff there to attend to the room. Sauna is available.

However room are not adequately maintained and cleaned. Air con-filter is dusty and there was some smell released initially when air-con is first turned on. I have requested to change room due to moldy wall paper and tiny cockroaches. part of fridge is rusty. Safe is not working well. However, after inspected another two room, I finally settled with the last one which is reasonably acceptable. I stayed there for 6 days without discomfort.

To be fair, the staff service are excellent. The front lobby is grand and spacious. Next to hotel has a supermarket. near by there were some restaurant. Grab car or taxi to near by shopping mall are convenient (costing about USD 2-3

Suggest to get the higher priced room. Clean room, water pressure is a bit low, may be to reserve water. You don't have to go around town to taste Burmese daily breakfast. A very good one is included in your stay. No swimming pool or spa at the hotel, but a good standard sauna.

The hotel has a great location and is easily accessible to downtown, which makes getting around very convenient. The pricing is excellent and very affordable, offering strong value for money.

The breakfast buffet is a highlight, with a wide variety of options and very good taste. The staff are friendly, courteous, and always willing to help, which adds a warm and welcoming touch to the stay.

The bedding is comfortable, and the room is clean by Myanmar standards. There is some room for improvement if compared to international standards, but overall the experience is very positive when considering the price point.

Overall, for the location, service, and value offered, this hotel deserves a full 5-star rating.

This is the second time I'm staying at this hotel since 2014. We chose this hotel because they have family rooms that can accommodate our large group. Their rooms were spacious, breakfast and fitness center were also great. My only complaint is there was a moldy smell in one of the rooms. I also felt that they could've arranged non-smoking rooms on higher floors. We stayed on the 6th floor, but the hallway was still full of cigarette smell from the lower floors. Other than the smell the rooms were pretty clean.

Excellent stay & service in Yangon

We had an excellent stay at Hotel Grand United and were extremely pleased with the hotel staff! We booked a standard double bedroom for one night at a very reasonable price for the off-season (early October). We arrived at the hotel at 7am after taking an overnight bus from Kalaw to Yangon and the hotel staff unexpectedly checked us in early, upgraded our room, and provided us with a complimentary breakfast. After we checked out the next morning, we stored our luggage at the hotel all day and were able to shower in the gym before heading to the airport. The room itself was very clean and comfortable, had a nice view of the city, and was well stocked with bottled water. The restaurant offered a wide selection of food for breakfast. Because hotel is a bit outside of the city center, it provided free daily shuttle service to a few of the major tourist spots. We used this service once, but actually found the hotel to be a nice walking distance from many activities/sites, including the Shwedagon Pagoda. We highly recommend this hotel and will suggest to any friends visiting in the future.

Diamond In The Rough

In the midst of a third world country trying to open its borders and develop itself into the modern era, there are not many places that stand out in quality just yet. The Grand United Hotel chain is one of those things. It is very modern and very comfortable. It is relatively new having been built in 2013. It has multilingual staff, wifi, exercise room with equipment and sauna, a very good dinning service, and a large free breakfast. The prices for food are a lot more expensive than most places but the quality and portions are rather large. I stayed there for 10 days and I wish I could have stayed longer. The thing that made this a perfect five star rating is their willing to do whatever a customer needs and directly listen to feedback. I was given a survey a few days before my stay actually ended and I mentioned a few improvements to their western food and the next morning at breakfast those improvements I recommended were already in place.

3. Room service charge me us2 for a bucket of ice cubes and US $2 service charge. This is my first time in my travel experience I have paid for ICE cubes.

Best hotel gym ever

This hotel was a mid-range and generally comfortable hotel a little away from the main drag. We booked a windowless room, which is great for sleeping in when you're light sensitive, and it did the job. Maybe a bit more light would have been nice as some of the lightbulbs were not working but overall not a big deal. A little scent of chemicals lingered in the room but perhaps it was from work on adjacent rooms. Food was tasty and the hotel fitness center was awesome!

Hotels in Yangon are expensive for what you get and this hotel isn't any different but it is a decent and well managed hotel with gym and nice buffet breakfast. Get a couple of hotel cards at reception with hotel address and handy little map to show any taxi driver who may be unsure where it is.

This is a wonderful hotel with great staff. Although the rooms are a little old, they are big, clean and comfortable.

There isn't much in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, but you are a very short cab ride from the Shwedagon Pagoda and Yangon Museum (both are also within walking distance). Finally, the best part of the hotel is the staff. They are friendly, professional and genuinely helpful.

Smart hotel, fantastic view

We normally stay at the Chinatown branch, which is pretty small, more informal and friendly / cozy - and right in the heart of the down-town bustle (for better or worse). By comparison, this is a much bigger, more spacious and 'formal' hotel, with less soul (and less to do within walking distance) but with the most amazing view of the Shwedigon Pagoda.

Our room was big, clean and comfortable, and that view alone made the view a good one. Lovely bed, and quiet room. Staff were a bit less friendly overall - I think the hotel's size makes the hotel more anonymous - but a good stay.

Comfortable but requires improvement.

In a booked deluxe room, we had a strangely placed double bed which really should have split the bed rather than have them together; room 707 which did not oversee the city view which we requested. In fact it overlooked construction next door. Prior to booking in, I already had requested a higher floor room. This was not granted; when I enquired, they did not give a reason why it was not; didn't appear like full occupancy at the time. The hotel is also a distance away from most shops, so walking is not an option and we took a taxi to town; most costs around 2000-2500 with one costing us 3000. Cheap enough; there's a train station nearby which we did not use.

I suggest you ask the staff to write down the address of hotel in the local language as taxi drivers often struggle to understand where the hotel is.

The breakfast is fine. The staff need extensive training; they loiter a great deal which could also indicate reluctance to use their limited English.

In all, the best feature of our room was the bathroom/toilet which was large by Myanmar standards. However, the toilet is placed too closely to the wall; you have to have skinny legs!

There's a nicely equipped gym and a recreational room if you just need to hangout. The equipment in the gym is relatively new.
