After coming back with the local bus from Pathein I stayed 1 night in Nagani hotel (30 US$ / night) in Yangon.
View from my room at the top floor was superb but the noise from the road was also big (bring earplugs).
See a video compilation from this hotel below.
Also below a video compilation of the trip with a taxi from the hotel to the airport.
