To be honest,  it is years ago that I have visited this hotel.  Nevertheless, I wish to share that the hotel is in a good location to visit, the Shwedagon Pagoda, a MUST see when you are in Yangon. I have visited the hotel for busines; I have stayed there over 3 weeks. The personnel is friendly and helpfull, the rooms are very limited, but for the price we paid, more than acceptable. Breakfast was nice with hot soul and fresh fruit, really good to "kick-start" your day. All in all a good experience.

Not bad at all

The Guest Care lets itself down with some pretty unnecessary shortcomings. The best thing about the Hotel are the cheerful, friendly, helpful staff, who deserve credit. The rooms are a bit tired and decorated in a random way, as if they just used whatever was to hand. Views vary quite considerably, from decent ones into a (admittedly decrepit) garden, to boring ones over roofs and roads. Rooms smelt musty, and some had visible mould growing (in the dry season), but this is not unusual in Yangon. Design is a bit illogical - in the room I was in the TV was placed in a position where it was almost impossible to watch it! The water pressure in the shower is only just sufficient and water temperature tends to swing between scalding and freezing at random. They do not advertise laundry and minibar costs in any of the rooms, which seems to me due to either carelessness or an underhand attempt to fleece unwary customers. So, check the prices with reception before use either as they are not cheap! There is no internet provided in the rooms, which puts them behind competitors in this price range. I sense this is because they want to encourage guests to hang out at the Coffee Circles restaurant which is next door and owned by the same people I assume. The free breakfast are also served at Coffee Circles and is a monotonous two eggs, two pretty revolting and rubber little frankfurter style sausages, deep fried, a piece of polystyrene masquerading as toast and a pot of strong (but rarely) hot coffee. As someone has mentioned before, 'long-stay' guests can get Myanmar breakfast options - mohinga, ouq-nouq khao swe (noodles with chicken), and pauq-si (dumpling) with a spring roll. As the 'Western' set breakfast is so monotonous, I don't know why they don't just offer this option to all guests as standard. Even if you are not 'long stay', worth lobbying for this option, as it gets hard to eat the 'Western' breakfast after a couple of days. The wireless connection at Coffee Circles is also pretty shaky and the food is pretty uninspiring. Overall, I don't think this hotel offers good value for money. It is well-positioned and convenient, but my sense is that it is being milked as a cash cow by the owners who don't seem to be very interested in making it a good experience for guests, but rather providing the bare minimum in order to extract the maximum amount of cash out of them. To reiterate, the exception to the rule are the staff, whose genuinely friendly attitudes make the whole experience a lot better than it would otherwise be. Due to the supply/demand imbalance created by the recent influx of tourists and development workers, Yangon hotels are notoriously bad value for money. I think that the Guest Care will be able to get away with offering this very mediocre experience for a couple more years, but then with supply catching up with demand, they will start to seriously fall behind if they don't raise their game of lower their prices significantly. As it is, there are better options available for the money.

Just about satisfactory, but lackluster

I have been living and travelling in Thailand in the last 4 years and this was my first time in Yangon for a business trip. We chose the hotel because it was near our meeting venue and also it is very central. Not knowing anything about burmese standard, the hotel looks like it was kind of nice 20 years ago and never got any renovation since. The room was not small but very old, the toilet not extremely clean with the shower curtain showing (many) signs of needing a change. No internet in the room and no hot water. The air con was old but working ok. The breakfast was nothing special. Only very nice thing, I could see the top of Shwedagon Pagoda from my room. Overall, considering that we paid 70USD per night, I think it is overpriced.

First time in Yangon...

The price is definitely too high against the background of room quality, service etc..
The location is excellent to visit the Shwedagon - but for an ugly room, you could also pay less in other hotels close by..

Low cost benefit, but well located..

And that's being next to circles cafe which has fairly decent food.

The hotel itself is dingy and very basic. My room was not clean and not easy to lock from the inside. The worst part was the awful foam mattress leading to a rather poor night's sleep - for $60 a night it should be better.
