Detailed Reviews
I arrived late in Mawlamyine and read about these reviews for Breeze Guest house the night before. I was trying to avoid at all costs staying here but the guest house I was planning on staying at was full.
And what a coincidence, I stumbled across this guesthouse and didn't realise till i stepped inside and I saw a sign saying Breeze Guest house. "Ohh S**t"
I've stayed in some pretty basic hostels/guesthouses on my travels. Breeze guest house was like living a worse nightmare, I felt like I had been chucked a locked away in a prison cell for the night...
After a long day traverling I crashed in my dungeon cell on my old rickety bed. To then realise I was not alone, I started to itch and scratch to find Massive BED BUGS on my pillow and bed... I was horrified. I started to squish them one by one to find my bed splatterd in my own blood.
At this point it was two in the morning.. You could hear your fellow prison inmates snoring, tossing and turning.
I packed my bags and went to the lobby to find the massive iron gates loocked and no sight of the the prison guard.
This was it, my time to asscape the "Prison of Moulmein" I rattled the gates to draw attention so I could be let out but no one came to my rescue.
I've now realised I'm living my worst nightmare and reality has sunk in and I'm actually in prison. No one at reception apart from a rattling sound in the bin!
I try to seek help and walk down the dark corridors cell side by side tiptoeing not to wake my fellow inmates with my flipflopes. As I approach around the corner I see these beaming eyes glowing in the distance. It was the biggest hairless back RAT I've seen in my life!!!
I eventually managed to change rooms where I stayed till 5 in the morning and left when the Prison doors had opend. I checked out and walked down the road with the biggest relief I had escaped with very few bedbug bits. I never looked back. (This is a true story do not stay here. Please)

The owner seemed nice and friendly. They tried to sell us a room for $25,- per night, including bathroom. The room was dreadfull! It looked like a slaughterhouse! Luckily we got into the Cinderella hitel, which was same price, but like a little peace of heaven. What a difference!
We did book the Ogre island tour. Because it was "convenient" to do it this way. We payed 40 dollars total, for two persons, to discover you could do the same thing for 5 dollars each. There would be no difference. Allthough we liked our guide, he was very friendly, it still feels like a ripoff when you discover that its easy to catch the 9 or 9:30 boat yourself (can't remeber the exact time, but its the kate one. And yes it exists, whatever they say). Arriving on the island, heaps of tuktuks, guides, bike whatever you want, are waiting. They all do the same, but cheaper then breeze...
During our periods waiting at the lobby of breeze, loads of guests staying there came down with the same mantra: "Do you have a nicer room available today?".

I stayed at the Breeze for two nights and then left to go back to Hp'an. I soon realized I was robbed of over $200 dollars!! I know it happened at the Breeze because I had counted my money upon arrival and then counted it again upon arriving at my next hotel. I called the hotel and explained the situation to one of the employees. He immediately chastised me, saying it would ruin their reputation. He said to wait and talk with the owner. I phoned back and the owner refused to even speak with me. All I wanted was to let him know that there was a thief in his establishment and to ask him if he could perhaps intervene on my behalf. They hung up on me. Twice. Great service, Breeze. I cannot believe Lonely Planet recommends these clowns.

It is a good budget guest house on the strange road in Mawlamyine in order to take boat trip to Pha An and Palu Kyun island and have a dinner at the night market, it is really convenient to stay there. They have English language speaking receptionist who is able to contribute information about your tour in Mawlamyine. Even though it is a budget guest house we can use WiFi .

The rooms are large though not spotlessly clean by any stretch of the imagination. The real draw of the place is the staff- from the owner who will join you for breakfast and regale you with Buddhist legends, to the famous Mr Anthony (check your Lonely Planet) an excellent tour guide and all round good human being. It's also a good for being on a budget- we paid $14 a night for a double with fan and shared bathroom.

Rooms are crappy and very small, service not so great, and i have not heard any positive reviews from fellow travelers. There are much better options in town thank this dump. Cheap so if you are on a very very tight budget, stay in this hole.

Burma right now is FULL of tourists, it's basically impossible to travel ad hoc, reserving hotels well ahead is essential (and don't expect to get your first choice either). We did this for the Breeze, securing a $25 room with bath as we were arriving in the evening having spent 10hrs on the train from Yangon. We phoned twice to confirm our intentions, one week and two days before. When we got there although we 'had a reservation' the guest house was full, and up to a dozen more people in our situation arrived while we were waiting. We were given a concrete cell with room for a bed and nothing else. Roasting hot and with plenty of bugs, for $12. The lobby remained full of homeless new arrivers with 'confirmed bookings' for hours, god knows whether they all got rooms somewhere in the end. We were tired and dirty from a day's travel and couldn't even unpack anything (no room!), and the shared bathrooms were permanently occupied. We'd have walked away but daren't risk not getting a bed for the night as we checked out 3 or 4 nearby and all were full. We were lucky and got in at the Cinderella for our second night, great value for Burma right now at $30 and fabulous facilities. Sorry but in our view Breeze needs to be boycotted until the owner realises he can't treat paying customers like this ... It's NOT about the quality of the rooms first and foremost (although they are gross, and he is packing guests in like battery chickens), but about having a 'reservation' that means nothing and may leave you utterly stranded.

We stayed at Breeze for one night after a recommendation from someone in Yangon, and the write up in Lonely Planet. Worst.decision.ever.
As a couple without a super tight budget (but not heaps to spend either) we paid for a private room with private bathroom. The room was very dirty and the sheets and pillow cases were full of holes. The hot water in our shower didn't work, so we spoke to them about it. They came in to check and ended up taking apart the pipes, and there were buckets full of disgustingly dirty water. They actually thanked us, telling us how the gunk had been gathering in the pipes for decades without their knowledge, and now they got to clean it. People were showering in that!! They cleaned the pipes but had to remove the hot water heater and couldn't replace it that day. As such, we had to use common bathrooms, but didn't get a refund for having paid for private bathroom.
We were told the rooms wouldn't be great but the hosts and info they provided made up for it. Maybe years ago, but not now! They provided little info other than what was on a typed sheet and were inflexible in what they provided. For example, we asked a number of times how to get to a landmark in the city, and despite numerous assertions that we wanted to walk and wanted them to show us where it was on the map, they told us over and over that a tuk tuk would take us there and wouldn't show us. They also tried to push different tours on us despite our saying we weren't interested over and over, even giving others prices for the tours based on our attendance.
This was the most we paid for a room in all of Myanmar and it was far and away the absolute worst. Go somewhere else!

We have not been to Mawlmayine before and we opted for Cindarella Hotel first but it was full. Since we arrived in the evening after along train trip we did not have much choice. Well, we could blame Lonely Planet as well coz "Breeze" is definitely NOT a good choice. Everything is worn out and needs upgrade and/or repair. You'ld do better to spend your cash in a different place, maybe the Breeze was a good place ages ago, now not any more for sure...

Definitely time to reinvest some of the money in this place! The first night we stayed in a minute,dirty room with a thin partition between us and several other 'rooms' squeezed into a small space with a promise of a much better room the following night (haha!)So..then we were given a room downstairs which was truly the grimmest room I've ever had the misfortune to stay in. There was no window ,the walls were grubby tiles, it felt like a prison.The 'blanket' was a thin rag, not even a bar of soap or loo paper in the 'en suite'. The only positive thing about this place was that it was good for exchanging views with fellow travellers. The service in the breakfast room was very good otherwiseTry to avoid!!
