The Rangoon Hotel
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want a low-cost, well-staffed base in Chinatown and can live with a basic breakfast. Skip it if review scores matter most to you, because both of our other Yangon picks score higher.

This 3-star hotel suits travellers who want to keep costs down without dropping to the cheapest bed in town. Guests single out a friendly team that helps with transport and local advice, which is useful in a city where getting around can take some planning.
Skip it if you put guest scores first. Its 8.5 sits at the bottom of the nine eligible properties we compared on reviews, even if the gap is small. Food lovers may also want more than the breakfast here offers.
Location and getting around
The address is 331-333 Corner of 1st Street and Anawrahta Road, Lanmadaw Township, in Chinatown. Guests describe the setting as central and quiet, near the river, with easy access to nearby amenities. The location score is 8.6.
Our straight-line walking estimates: the National Museum of Myanmar is 1.3 km away, about 16 minutes. Sule Pagoda is 2.3 km, about 29 minutes. Shwedagon Pagoda is 2.6 km, about 33 minutes, which is far on foot in the heat, so plan on a taxi or public transport. Real walking routes may take longer.
What guests say
The score is 8.5 out of 10 from 161 reviews. Staff get the warmest comments: welcoming, helpful and ready with practical tips. The location also earns praise for being central yet calm.
The main complaint is breakfast. It is served on the rooftop and guests call it tasty, but the selection is limited and portions are set. Listed breakfast styles are vegetarian, gluten-free and Asian.
Price and what you get against our other Yangon picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 was €38.39 per night for 2 adults. That is about 35% below the €59.33 median of the sample. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
For that, the property lists free parking, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and a terrace. Our Budget pick, BaobaBed Lodge, was cheaper at €23.55 with a score of 8.6. Our Luxury pick, the 5-star Meliá Yangon, scored 9.1 at €67.22. The Rangoon sits between them on price.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 eligible properties in Yangon. The Best Value slot balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price, so it is not simply the cheapest option. Here, a solid 8.5 from 161 reviews at a price well under the median earned the place.
Be aware that the margin over the luxury pick is not huge in euros. If your budget stretches to about €29 more per night, the Meliá is worth a look.
