3 Stars Hotels in Shan, Myanmar

Transportation: On the edge of the Inle Lake Cruise Ship Terminal, very close to the BUS station, walking about 600 meters, the hotel provides tuk tuk to the BUS station; service: very warm, but no Chinese service; health: middle and upper, environmental waste The bag and the quilt cover are slightly invisible because of the washing level; the bedding: the standard cushion is attached, but the shop may be slightly longer due to the operation time, and the middle of the mattress is concave, which requires high attention to the bedding; environment: creative South Asian style design, the rooms are double-family flat-panel buildings, water house style, better facing room type in the river (high price); Facilities: There is a small swimming pool, separated in the center of the river pool, the water quality meets the standard. Catering: The hotel provides a complimentary breakfast for Western food, beautiful in appearance and excellent service. Guests: Most people are European.

I stayed seven nights at this hotel. The location, on the main street in the city, just a short walk from the centre, is very convenient. My room was spacious, well furnished and comfortable. It had good wifi, satellite TV with one English news channel, tea/coffee making facilities and a decent work space. The bathroom is a little basic and the shower lacks pressure but there was plenty of hot water. Breakfast is quite good and the chef made delicious pancakes for me which were much appreciated. The staff is delightful and helpful, and many speak English. Overall, I was very happy with my stay at the hotel relative to the price charged and will happily stay there again.

The hotel was nice. The room was huge (suite for 3) and very clean. They helped us to book local massages but everything else we booked/found out ourselves as they had very little to tell us. We asked about using the free bikes mentioned on their website as were told they were not safe to use. We asked where we could hire mountain bikes/ good quality bikes and they didn’t know. They could only suggest 1 bike shop that hires dodgy looking cheap bikes. We asked about kayaking around the lake but they had no idea. When asked about other things to do around here we were told about a boat trip and was quoted 10000 kyat more than what we paid the day before. When asked what else we could do there were no suggestions other than ‘walk through town’. There is no obvious place for information or a book of suggested trips anywhere. Breakfast was fine but everything was stone cold, including eggs. It took us 3 days to realise that you could ask for local noodles (only because we saw other people eating them) which were yummy. We spent a lot of time each morning waiting for them to refill water/ crepes/ eggs/ pancakes etc. At checkout I was told I had to pay 3.5% for using any card (even a local card as I work in Yangon). This is not the case in Yangon or in Bagan or anywhere else we have travelled in Myanmar. So add an extra $8 to the cost of the room. Booking.com stated that I would pay in dollars on the day ‘according to the exchange rate’. However the lady at reception said their machine is incapable of charging in dollars. This isn’t a problem really but then I found out that they don’t amend the exchange rate daily and that they have a flat rate. That flat rate meant I was charged a further 12000 kyat ($8). So in all I paid $16 more than anticipated. This is my second trip Nyaung Shwe and after being given very little help with what to do here and being charged more money, I’d say go elsewhere.

The hotel has a beautiful environment, comfortable and fresh, and the key people are kind, considerate and meticulous. It is a very good experience to experience the simplicity and kindness of the people of Inle.

Stayed here for one night. Very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is at the edge of the city center. Good thing there is an elevator! Room was nicely equipped and there was a night table and bedside lamps. It was also neat and clean. Bathroom: in the sink only cold water as the faucet was stuck/ couldn’t be turned. The lightswitches for the room were behind the bed in the middle which was a little inconvenient. Wifi worked well in the room. Unfortunately the walls seem to be very thin as we heard neighbours laughing and taking a shower. Only one point was a bit icky: the A/C above the bed really badly needs a cleaning: as it was cool we luckily didn’t need it but I don’t want to imagine all the dirt falling on my head when turning it one- see foto...Buffet breakfast was fine. Overall stay was satisfactory.

I have stayed 3 Night at Loi Loung Hotel, Taunggyi for my business trip. Deluxe room was cleaned ,big and cozy. Location is not so far from the downtown and located on west circular road with just quite. The Buffet Breakfast was also pretty nice, actually much better than expected, it is a must try in hotel that serving Local food and Asian food. Staff are warmed , super friendly and always were ready to help with everything. I highly recommend this hotel, its better than other nearby hotels in downtown area of Taunggyi.
