Alfa Hotel

decent in general, although not entirely honest.
When I booked it said "shuttle to/from airport". There wasn't any, the employees didn't know what it was, and made no effort to find out

Firstly I’d like to say the staff were all helpful welcoming and professional, however that is where the good news ends. Bedding is a scratchy blanket between two sheets. The communal areas are beyond just needing a clean with frayed capers and ancient decor long overdue an overhaul.

Cheap but I’ve stayed in cheaper in the area that were cleaner with better facilities.

breakfast food is better from some hotels, however there were bed bugs and got bitten during the few nights stay, even after changing the bed sheets. something need to be done to the mattress, suggest changing to new ones if they have not been changed for a long time.

The location of the hotel was great.

everything as expected. clean and good area. very kind service. could leave the baggage and return to the big lobby later in the afternoon.

The bar itself is not bad, not so good cocktails and a quiet place but a bad management. There is this annoying so called manager who is rude and unprofessional for someone who is working in the field of hospitality.

We had a little miscommunication regards with the service and the bar’s T&C but instead of coming to negotiate with us directly, she rudely scolded the waiters in front of us, ranting the words aiming to us. Very disappointed. Things could have been sorted out in a smoothed peaceful way. And we also heard back that this is not the first time happening. They are losing their customers and they should have learnt the words "Hospitality", "Customer Service" and "Flexibility".

Never stepping into that bar again as long as the management doesn’t know how to communicate with the customer in the most professional way.

This hotel is perfect for a stay as it's a central yangon,location is one of the best,room is spacious but old n nice Sapphire bar at level 12 rooftop. Breakfast can be improve as it's almost same everyday. nearby 3 min walking distance to Yaw Min Gyi (Boyar Nyunt Street),i went there everyday for meal,beer n wine,there's lot of pub,bar,restaurants and massage,my flavour jap food,local cuisine n mala xiangguo.I love body&foot massage at Singapore foot reflexology,skillful style n strength power.just feel relax n a warm street . Recommended hotel if price ok. Easy walking distance to many tourists attraction like Bogyoke market, junction city, Chinatown..
Sure we will be back.

I didn't actually stay at the hotel, but I visited the rooftop bar at sunset which I highly recommend! It's nothing too fancy but you can get a Myanmar beer and enjoy an excellent view of the city. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

This hotel is ideally located among many restaurants and shopping areas. The hotel is a bit dated and could use some refurbishing. Wi-fi was good. The breakfast was quite limited. Good for the price.

I recently stayed at Alfa I had choose it because of its location. I was pleasantly surprised about the rooftop bar, I liked to rooms even though the ceilings were very low, but the towels very extra old and the amenities very poor. I might come back for the bar but not for the rooms.

We booked this hotel so that we could crawl back after the rooftop party. Nice quiet place. Surrounded by heaps of restaurants. Small & nice. Must visit the rooftop bar for nice views of Yangon. Travellers...this is a nice base for sightseeing

Review is for the Sapphire Bar on top of the Alpha Hotel. The hotel looks like a 3 star hotel and we had some doubts when we went into the hotel lounge. Reaching the bar on top of level 12, we were greeted by a rather bare large rooftop with chairs and tables placed loosely. The bar is literally two simple tables with different alcohol bottles displayed on it. We didn't have much hope. But the view was great and we had a good view of the padoga and full moon, which was really nice. Ordered a mojito and it was not bad at all. In other countries, this will probably get two or three stars from me but given that it is in myanmar, I think the place deserves 4 stars. Just remember that this is still a relatively new emerging market and places are still not fully commercialize yet, which is the main point. Sit back, enjoy the view, sip the cocktail which is only usd2.5, and relax. I'm sure one day, this bar will go through dramatic transformation into a high end bar with proper chairs, deco and expensive cocktails but I truly like it the way it is now. Enjoy while it lasts.

Been here twice and there's barely anybody here. It's a nice quiet place to hang out, have a drink and enjoy the sunset with Shwedagon Pagoda in sight.

Take the elevator to the top floor and look for the stairs that lead up to the rooftop.

The view of Shwedagon Pagoda is clearly the main reason people visit the Sapphire rooftop bar at the Alfa Hotel. Sipping a cocktail as the sun sets on the golden shrine is an essential part of being in Yangon. The service may be a bit slow and the price is not cheap - but it is a view!

昔の映画に出るような、典型的な古い趣のあるホテルである。
市街地から少し外れた場所にあり、買物と食事はやや不便である。
設備は古いが、手入れ、掃除は丁寧である。

ホテルには不釣り合いとも思われる、ラウンジが１階と１２階にある、
特に１２階のラウンジはShwedagon Pagoda が綺麗に眺望できる。

ラウンジは閑散としており、静かに飲める穴場である。　

I did not stay here. I did, however, visit the rooftop bar and highly recommend it. You don't need to be a guest of the hotel to visit the rooftop. Simply go to the lobby and tell the staff you'd like to go to the rooftop and they will show you the elevator. When you get to the roof, you will inevitably see a quiet place with few patrons and several attentive servers. You will have a great view of Shwedagon Pagoda and all of downtown Yangon. The place isn't really glitzy but it has a definite charm, perhaps as a recognition of quieter times in Yangon. It is a must visit in Yangon. Prices for drinks are only marginally higher than in shops on the street and certainly much, much lower than more trendy rooftops in the city. Visit for a taste of bygone Asia!

Ein gutes Hotel mit hervorragender Ausgangsbasis zum Einkaufen.
Zentral gelegen und doch sehr ruhig da nicht direkt an der Hauptstrasse.

特筆すべきところはありません。
ドライヤーはフロントから借りれます。
設備は汚くないですが、灯りが少ない印象です。

I'll start by saying we aren't very demanding customers. In nearly 3 weeks in myanmar we stayed in various places, all of which we found great, even very cheap backpackers hostels with no warm water or mirror in the room. However, we do think you should get what you pay for and this place just doesn't make sense.

positive things first: the hotel is well located, near some nice restaurants and cafes and not far from the shwedagon pagoda. And the wifi works well.

Other than that, it really sucked. Was by far and away the worst hotel we stayed in, in an almost 3 week trip to Myanmar - and the most expensive!! (Slightly surpassing even a beach front bungalow at Ngapali!)

The hotel and its furniture and equipment are very very old with some ridiculous features, like none of the room or bathroom lights working unless the main light is on (which makes it hard when one person is awake and the other isn't), and an almost cute built- in radio set from the 70s at the very latest!

bad smell in the room (of smoking, to which a bellboy was sent to spray some anti-odor all over the room...) and in the hallways (of ginger cooking or something like that) - both topped with a lingering scent of mold. Bath was uninviting to say the least.

My friend came in late and accidentally walked into a different room to discover that the key worked!! After which she tried a few more and apparently the magic key opened all the rooms she tried. Didn't really matter because the hotel was empty except for us - and rightfully so.

The reason we picked this hotel was because of the so-called rooftop bar, which turned out to be a poor guy standing in front of a small reception table stocked with some alcohol bottles, and an entirely unimpressive view. Yes, you can see the Shwedagon pagoda but aside from that not much more.

We know there is a supply-demand problem in Yangon which makes for a situation in which hotels don't need to try very hard and still have a steady flow of clients. However, this place was hostel-level with hotel price so better to just stay at a very basic backpackers place.

In Yangon we returned again to the ALFA hotel (alfahotelyangon@gmail.com) It’s a 3 star situated on Nawaday street, very near to Bogyoke market.
Our group required eight rooms (DLX DBLS at $100.-) and I had requested that they be on an upper floor (to avoid street noise) and as close together as possible. We arrived at the hotel at 11.00 a.m. . Alice, the new general manager, had arranged an early check-in. At 11.00 a.m. !! That’s a very customer friendly welcome. All our rooms were together on the 10th floor.
Breakfast was OK with particularly tasty, home-made ,Yoghurt.
The staff were helpful ,welcoming, cooperative and eager to make our stay enjoyable. Our shopping had resulted in a large load of baggage. They helped us load them through the windows of our hired bus.
We’ll return to ALFA every time we go to Yangon.
