100 Moon Inn

Yangon

I hadn't been here for two years, but I was happy to find this little hotel. It's in the middle of the city and yet it feels like a garden, with lots of birds and beautiful trees. The staff hasn't always changed so kindly, smiling and devoted. It's always possible to ask the day before for the next morning what you want for breakfast.

Always perfect

This inn is essentially a private house converted into rooms. The manager/owner speaks good English, the other helpful staff not so much.

I had a large room with the door right next to the entrance. It was still quiet and with the property off the road and surrounded by trees it is mostly the sounds of birds that might disturb one. The room was clean, bed comfortable, a/c, fridge, safe. Bathroom smallish but fine, big shower. Soap, shampoo provided.

TV but only 2 channels - movies and lifestyle. But good wifi. No restaurant on site but a good and popular local restaurant within 5min walk. Western restaurants a bit further. Drinks available at the inn. Breakfast consists of 4 choices - 3 local meals or a plain omelette served with toast and fruit. 

Can walk to park and lake; could walk to pagoda and town if keen on walking but calling a taxi could be easier.

Needed to stay in Yangon an extra day for rest and had no problem deciding to stay on that extra day at 100 Moon Inn. If you are after being closer to the nightlife action this might not be the place for you.

Peaceful retreat in the city

Positives
- Large triple room, very spacious albeit a bit dark
- One queen bed and a large single bed
- Quite place away from the busy, dusty streets
- The owner will buy and deliver food from the closest Chinese restaurant for you
- One of the boys will run and fetch a taxi for you when requested
- Decent house, tastefully decorated, comfortable room and comfy beds, friendly staff

1) Sunday night mosquito fumigation
On our very first night there, between 1800-1900 hours just after putting baby to sleep, as I was sitting on the bed I heard this deafening lawn mower noise coming closer and closer to us, then it stopped.  And all of the sudden it was hard to breath and I could not see much of the sitting area because the whole room was filled with smoke!  I quickly grabbed the sleeping baby, ran out of the room upstairs to the reception area to ask what was wrong!  With very limited English the owner later managed to tell me that it was the regular Sunday night mosquito fumigation and somehow the fumes got into our room.

He knew about it and yet did nothing to warn us, knowing full well that we checked in with a small baby.

Not acceptable.

2) Room change
Understandably I was very worried about the toxicity of the fumes and our baby, requested that we change room to another one that's the same size and setup.  There was only one tripple room, all other rooms were smaller which meant a downgrade, but the owner refused to give a discount even if we downgrade to a smaller room to avoid the smoke.
We ended up having to wait until the smoke cleared, coming back to and sleeping in the same room that night.

Such welcoming event on our first night.  It was an extremely stressful experience, had we not pre-paid for the 3 nights we would have moved hotel the very next morning!

Two big thumbs down for this experience and the owner's customer service alone.  Well, no customer service to speak of.

3) Too many mosquitoes, no mosquito net!
So with mosquitoes everywhere outside, and quite a few inside the room all the three of us got bitten everynight.  Our poor one year old baby, she got bitten every night, on her legs, arms and face.

Definitely don't recommend staying here with kids.  You get eaten alive by mosquitoes in the room.

4) Housekeeping & room cleaning
Even though fresh towels and sheets are changed everyday, however there is a lot left to be desired in the housekeeping department when it comes to room cleaning service.

The mop was used for the entire room without being washed because a water bucket was nowhere to be seen during the operation.  So afterwards, even though the entire floor was mopped it still felt dirty and our feet got dirty in minutes again.

Air freshener was used but it actually was stinky and quite suffocating!

5) No room service for breakfast
Despite having pre-ordered our breakfasts, the next morning when I rang reception, the owner refused to have breakfast brought to our room.  We ended up feeding our baby in the room, then having breakfast in the courtyard later, which pretty much took the whole morning.  By the time we finished breakfast and managed to get out of the house, it was 11am!
Subsequent mornings, after even more repeat requests they reluctantly brought breakfasts to our room so we could eat and feed our child at the same time to save time.

It should not be that difficult with room service, it's pretty normal, especially given we have a little baby with us.

This BnB is not at all baby friendly.

6) Very limited English
No one at this BnB could speak English adequately so they can make themselves understood, nor could they understand my requests without me having to repeat them for the nth time.
- the young boys could understand some but not speak English at all
- the owner misunderstood my request for dinner, ordered too many dishes for 2 people
- the owner misunderstood my request for taxi to the airport, instead of waiting for me to call reception around 10am, a taxi was ordered in exact at 10am.  The taxi driver ended up waiting for nearly an hour before we were ready.

It's a family business, so obviously they tried their best but their service still need many improvements to make it worth while.

Overall, it was barely a satisfactory stay given the problems described above.  The fact the fumes from the mosquito fumigation got into our room while baby was sleeping and the owner did not let us know in advance was unacceptable.  Adequate English is a must to ensure sufficient communication.

The best tips I can give you
Tip #1: if you are planning to stay on a Sunday night, check with them about mosquito fumigation
Tip #2: use an English/Burmese translator (such as Google Translate) to avoid misunderstandings
Tip #3: the BnB is always almost empty, so you probably don't need to book so many nights in advance.  Stay for a couple of nights first and see if it's worth the budget option.

Recommendation?  Only if the owner improves on those points mentioned above, then yes.

For me, I will be staying elsewhere next time around.

Very limited English, mosquito fumigation, not baby friendly

We stayed at 100 Moon for 2 nights after arriving in Yangon. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room and en suite bath were clean. The bathroom was a bit basic, but fitting what you'd expect at a mid range guest house.

The location was really ideal for a few reasons. The house itself is on a quieter street in a neighbourhood so there is no traffic noise.  It's walking distance to the Shwe Dagon Pagoda, and an easy taxi to the city or restaurants around the city. And it's 45 to an hour to the airport with the traffic.

Great value for money, and a good location as a base for exploring Yangon. 

Really good spot for a few days in Yangon. 

We decided to book this hotel based on the review from Trip advisor website. We stayed there for three nights. The room is larger than my expectation. The location is on the alley of the street , privacy, quiet, and its near to downtown. The breakfast is fantastic. 

Superb budget hotel

Good wifi, great location just 10 mins walk to big shopping center (Ocean mall), Room is very clean, Comfy bed, excellent service, Staffs are very nice and friendly, Staff can speak english very well

We will def come back here. 

5 star Recommend 

Perfect place to discover Yangon

Very friendly and available staff, the room is particularly spacious, equipped with every comfort, clean bathroom with shower box (a feature not common in Myanmar!). Good breakfast served on an outdoor terrace.

Great stay in Yangon

Great welcome, everyone is under your care, the girls will introduce you to tanaka if you want. Everything is perfect, clean, bunk, facilities. The situation in this guesthouse is perfect, far from nothing, yet calm. Excellent quality price.

tranquility in the heart of Yangon

Incompetent staff lamentable breakfast dirty bathroom bedding good quality and very expensive and in dollars very badly located near a noisy mosque house that has a real charm absent manager forget to avoid

to avoid

Back in Yangon, we spent about ten nights at 100 Moon because we had enjoyed it so much last year. The establishment is still well maintained. There have been improvements in the room equipment and decoration. The staff is adorable, always with little care. The birds are always there in the morning to wake you up, it's nice in the city center. You need a taxi, a Burmese breakfast, to make reservations: the manager is there and you'll gain valuable time and money too! The free Wi-Fi works very well. Very good value for money.
