20th Street Hostel

If you are visiting Yangon, I highly recommend to book accommodation in advance, at least for the first few nights or so. The options for cheap guest houses in Yangon are limited. Luckily there was availability at 20th Street Hostel, where we spent two nights in total. The spacious air-conditioned rooms has four beds for eight guests. Every bed is separated from each other with a wall and some curtains. Even though you share the room with others, you will still get some privacy. The room rate is 10,000 kyat (7,25€) per night including fresh towels, Wi-fi, simple breakfast and possibility to refill your water bottle. The location couldn't have been better. The hostel is located a half block from Chinatown, some of the main attractions you will be able to reach by walking, and the Swedagon Pagoda is a short and cheap taxi ride away. Our stay was short, but I was very satisfied with this hostel.
