Awesome staff at front desk
Pros:

Overall a great stay! The front desk staff warmly welcomed me upon arrival and were super friendly and helpful thoughout my time in Yangon, they happily answered all my questions and are a highlight of the hostel.
Everything is very clean here, beds, sheets, towels, bathrooms, common areas etc, only the locker area underneeth the bed was very dusty.
The common area is nice and offers free tea, coffee and water :)
And I love that they have a coworking space available for its guests. A/C blows throughout the rooms and common areas.
The location is great too, right oppsoite a convinience store, nice cafe (Bar Street Slow Bar) and walkable distance to many other cafes/eateries and general good connection to downtownn Yangon.
It also has a restaurant on the top floor with a swimming pool and pool table/games. Limited vegetarian options but the taste is good and they offer shiesha too. The staff here were friendly enough, maybe surprised to see a foreignor.

Wishing the hostel and staff all the very best, Id definately come back, kyay zu ba 🙏🇲🇲🏡

Overall, the stay was average, but several improvements are needed.
Pros:

Breakfast location is on the rooftop. It was really hot and not very pleasant.
Location is ok.

Cons:

There should be a tea and coffee set inside the room. Your hotel serves tea and coffee only from 7am to 10pm, and we came back after 10pm, so we could not have any. Tea and coffee facilities should be available in the room like in other hotels.

Also, the room is not soundproof at all. We could hear everything — noise from the next room, the stairs, and the hallway. It felt like staying on the street because it was so noisy.

Very nice place in Yangon
Pros:

Nice place, clean, great location, very good breakfast included.

Cons:

Overcharging for taxis. I had an early flight and had to arrive to the airport very early, they arranged overpriced taxi, like double price, and it was take it or leave it. I had no other option, but it's not nice. Apart from that, this hostel is great option.

AMAZING STAY!
Pros:

I had a wonderful stay here. The breakfast is excellent and keeps you full for the entire day. There are also a few supermarkets nearby, which is very convenient.
What truly made the experience exceptional was the outstanding hospitality. The manager, Hsu Lae, and Ye Myint went above and beyond to help me when I needed it. Because of them, I would definitely choose this accommodation again.

Cons:

There is not much going on around the hostel in the evening as the downtown gets empty.
I did not get the hot water to work properly in any of the rooms I was but to be honest is not needed...

Cons:

The dorm is on the 4 floor

Остановлюсь здесь снова даже не задумываясь!
Pros:

Персонал престо ПРЕКРАСНЫЙ! Я очень благодарен им - они помогали мне буквально во всём. Особенно хочу поблагодарить девушку Июль, которая обзвонила ДЕСЯТКИ гостиниц в моём следующем пункте назначения в Мьянме,чтобы найти для меня место проживания. Июль - ты потрясающая! Если руководство это читает и отзыв хоть на что-то влияет - выдайте девушке премию, пожалуйста.

Что касается самого хостела, то всё на очень высоком уровне:
1. Есть зона отдыха, где постоянно горячая вода, чашки, кофе, чай.
2. Есть специальное место для коворкинга, где тоже можно уединиться.
3. Туалеты ВСЕГДА были чистыми, ВСЕГДА была туалетная бумага, бумага для рук. В душе горячая вода. Душевых и туалетов много, так что каких-то очередей не было.
4. Я жил в общежитии и было комфортно. На кровати были плотные хорошие шторы. Кондиционер холодноватый на мой взгляд, но шторки на кровати защищали. Кровать удобная. Зарядка из розетки не выпадала. Есть светильник.
5. В хостеле есть ресторан с небольшим бассейном. Цены приемлемые. Я вегетарианец, и мне помогли с выбором блюда и сделали без мяса. Персонал в ресторане тоже очень хороший, очень дружелюбный и внимательный.
6. Расположение тоже замечательное. Не то, чтобы достопримечательности в шаговой доступности, но дойти до них действительно возможно (я за один день обошёл всё самое главное), но, если ходить не хочется - такси будет не дорогим.
Так же добавлю, что прямо возле хостела есть хороший магазин с продуктами.

В общем, всё прошло замечательно! Ребята, работающие в хостеле - вы лучшие! Спасибо вам всем!
