An unknown soldier's grave.

This place is known by locals as the war cemetery or the Allied cemetery. It is an incredibly well maintained cemetery honoring the soldiers who lost their lives in WWI and WWII. We were overwhelmed by the number of graves and the 27,000 other soldiers who were honored but unable to be buried. If you are in Yangon you should definitely make the trip to the cemetery.

To get here we took the circle train out of Yangon Central Railway station to the stop Kyaikkale (one after the Golf Course stop). From that station we walked to the road and hailed a taxi. It took 4 or 5 to find someone who could speak enough English to take us there. We paid 8000 Kyat (appr. 8 USD) for the ride there, for him to wait, and for the ride back to the station. It takes about 15-20 minutes in the taxi to get there. The locals use the cemetery more like a park and were more interested in us than anything else. This was irritating but as tourism is so little still it is understandable. Entrance is free.

"Wonderful stay with very attentive and friendly staff. Due to Covid-19 we were forced to stay an extra week until we were able to get a flight out and the staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful. Restaurant, bar and cafe had a lovely range of food and beverages and everything was very clean and hygienic. Our temperature was checked every time we entered the hotel and hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the building. Highly recommend this hotel."

"Great Hotel that is a welcome location in a fascinating city. The Food and Beverage Asst Manager Richard needs a real pointing out for his amazing service and support while we were there. This is the kind of people that this hotel has and every hotel should!"

"The area was nice as it was off in it's own corner away from the busy downtown streets, was no issue getting a Grab to go anywhere as well. Staff was always nice and inviting and there was a piano they allowed you to play in the bar area. The bar/club downstairs was interesting but the music they played was extremely loud so we had to sit far in the back away to hear/talk to people."

"I loved the breakfasts and the friendly staff,especially the willingness of the cleaning staff to accommodate everything I needed. I like that there are many dining options. My only wish was that there should have been a brochure of a sort informing guests of all the stores/restaurants downstairs. Be sure to see me again next trip!"

"My first stay at Hotel G for 2 nights. I enjoyed the eco-friendly and minimalist approach in the hotel design. A differentiation from the heritage hotels and Burmese-styled inns in Yangon. I am delighted by the efficient and friendly arrival and check-in. Room was very clean. Pillows and bed were firm and fresh. The front counter staff are young, cheerful and enthusiastic. Overall, Hotel G has a positive welcoming vibe. Great job !"
