Holly Hotel Myanmar Reviews

I loved Holly Hotel! Here are the reasons why: First off, after a long day bus from Bagan, Holly Hotel was just a hop and a skip away from the Aung Mingalar Highway Bus Station (about 500m-1200m depending on where your bus arrives - Aung Mingalar Highway Bus Station is just massive!). My bus stopped about a 1.2km walk from Holly Hotel, but I was able to walk there within 15 mins (I'm a fast walker, and I had only a small little backpack). The hotel is ideal for transit by bus, and is equally convenient for transit by air (located only about 6km from the airport). For me, Holly Hotel was perfect, since I arrived to Yangon from Bagan by bus, and was set to depart by airplane the next afternoon. The hotel negotiated a flat fare taxi for me to the airport for 10,000 kyat, so I could safely spend out my remaining currency without being caught off guard. On that note, there is a large shopping mall located 1.4 km up the road. It's called "Terminal M," and it has many restaurants/food courts, major retailers and most importantly a massive supermarket in the basement called "Ocean Supermarket." I walked to the supermarket from the hotel in about 15 mins (again, I'm a fast walker). It's safe to do so, just be aware you will be walking on the highway, so walk and cross the road with vigilance! I was able to spend out my remaining currency here, with great selection and prices! Re: location, there are no food options nearby the hotel, so best be prepared for that! Unless you walk up to Terminal M, or come prepared with food for dinner at the hotel like I had done, you will find yourself in short supply. There are 2 small convenience stores across the street with basic supplies like water, crackers, cookies, instant noodles and other packaged foods which I couldn’t make out. The one convenience store directly adjacent has a big selection of wine! I was very happy to find wine in such an industrial area, and happily bought a bottle for a relaxing evening! Prices were reasonable. Upon arrival at the hotel, I was greeted warmly by reception staff and check-in was swift. This was appreciated, since I had had a long travel day from Bagan! My room was quite large, and very comfortable! Basic furniture such as a desk, chair, two bedside tables, and ample luggage storage (a large wooden bench and also a large wooden cabinet) were available! Air conditioning was strong, wifi signal was terrific (probably the best I've had in all of Myanmar so far), and the room was a welcome relief from the humidity. The room also came with a mini fridge (stocked with mini bar items such as water, a selection of sodas, and instant noodles), an electric kettle, 4-in-1 coffee (LOL, that's a first! Not sure what the 4th ingredient is!?), 2 coffee mugs, water glasses, 2 bottles of water with compliments, and 2 spoons. Bathroom amenities included: 2 dental kits, 2 shower caps, bar soap, in shower shampoo and shower gel dispensers, and 2 combs. Toilet paper was in short supply, but s
