Breeze Guest House

Our stay was very pleasant, good place for Mawlamyine. Stayed in the big room - worth the price for the last century experience. Beautiful colonial bedroom with original furnishings, a bit run down but with a lot of character. The owner and staff are very nice and helpful.

Its a nice location, good breakfast. Its a cheap hotel so don’t expect much. Having a shared bathroom is fine, but it could definitely do with some basic hygiene. Rooms are small but fine, mattress is good but the rooms are a little noisy.

So I don't read Lonely Planet or online travel blogs, so I was surprised and disappointed to find out this is the central hub for European backpackers in the city. I mean the kind that haven't showered since leaving their home country, and put their dirty feet on all tables and furniture while looking at their smart phones to see how they can best rent a motorbike to see the few sites that are in the vicinity. As for the hotel itself, breakfast is small, check-in was painfully slow, and the rooms are nothing special. Yeah, this place is along the river, and there are a few places to eat nearby - but the kind of clientele this place attracts is definitely enough to keep me from ever returning.

Cheap room in riverfront. Cleanliness is average and will not suits the tidy nerds. Small breakfast. Amazing view of the sunset from the balcony. Staff is very helping. (Some of them) They offer the best tours in town, for the best value!

Great service l, all around excellent great free breakfast with a beautiful view in the morning lovely staff! We hired a motorbike too without problems from them then organised our taxi from the guesthouse to the bus station!! If your a backpacker this is the best place to stay hands down.

Every second day you are getting traditional Burmese breakfast. It's not a castle but it's cheap so you can't expect room service. Rooms are simple and nice, toilets are clean enough. You can rent a cheap scooter here and stuff will help you with transport. Very good location, walking distance to important spots and close to pier.

Spent 2 nights there in late September, would not rate it as a super pleasant stay. ⚫Room was spacious and clean, a bit musty given no nature lights in, but with AC it wasn't too much bothering. ⚫Beds were comfy, breakfasts were included, simple but did the job. ⚫Most staff were lovely and polite. ⚫Ground floor rooms are reasonably priced, however very noisy in early morning. Cons: ⚫One or two senior staffs were really rude. I grown up in Asia but even with Asian ways that was too rude. The staff literally thrown money back on the table when we told him we had no knowledge to ride manual motorbike and asked for an automatic one, "take your money back." He said. He then told us next shop might have automatics, pointed randomly to one direction - but there was NONE. After spending one hour on the street asking around we finally learnt, Breeze hostel was the ONLY one in town rents motorbikes to foreigners, every local knows. ⚫Managers were very nice - ONLY before checking in. After checked in I tried to talk about price with the manager as he dropped price for another couple in front of me, a new customer arrived, during the conversation the manager just stood up left me there without a word, mind he spoke really good English, an "excuse me for a second" would be hard to find in his vocabulary. Traveling around SE Asia I've never been treated like this before. Hope they will be nice to other travellers.

Maybe it's because I expected more for the price. But it's really the barest of bare minimums. The staff is nice, the famous uncle is really nice, but you'll probably go there to sleep and it's very very basic, cheap hostel smelly vibe. But hey, if cheap works, even tho their prices aren't really cheap, go for it. Not recommend for longer than 1 night.
