USD 22 got us a room on the 1st floor with no windows and bad smells. A reasonably comfortable double bed. Fan. Shared old toilet and shower were downstairs. We were checking out at 10pm for a late night international flight and the staff had actually locked everyone in at this hour - and the staff half asleep in the... More

USD 22 got me a room on the 1st floor with no windows and smells of the sewer. Room squeezed in two single beds with no space between. Shared old toilet and shower were downstairs. Wifi free at Reception. Breakfast is plentiful on the 8th floor, no lift though! View from the roof is good first thing in the morning!

You don't won't to stay here if there was a place in another guesthouse. There are definetly better places to stay in Yangoon but they are mostly fully booked. The rooms in White House are day prices. One day you pay $ 25,= the next day $ 30,= for the same terrible room. The owner can be verry rude if... More

We moved to the White House Hotel after an expensive night at the MGM Hotel. $27 for a double bed with fan with a view of Shewagon and a shared bathroom.

If you've back packed in India then hotels like this will be familiar to you - bizarre, dated decor, dodgy electrics and plumbing, soggy mattresses etc etc. This is pretty much what you get nowadays for your money in Yangon.
