Hotels With breakfast in Shan, Myanmar

One of the most incredible hotels I’ve stayed at! I absolutely loved my stay at Sanctum Inle Resort. I had high expectations going in, but somehow this place managed to exceed every single one of them. I honestly wish I had stayed longer! First, the property itself is just spectacular. It’s situated right on Inle Lake, with beautiful views, gorgeous grounds, and a wonderful sense of peace and privacy. The pool is stunning, and everything about the property feels luxurious without being over the top. It’s the kind of place where you could happily spend an entire day just enjoying the surroundings. The hotel was also kind enough to give me a complimentary upgrade to a beautiful lake-facing room, which was such a lovely surprise. The views were incredible, especially around sunset when the light reflected off the water. It was one of my favorite moments from my time in Myanmar. Beyond the property, what really stood out was the hospitality. The staff were genuinely wonderful — incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and always eager to help. The food was also absolutely delicious. I enjoyed everything I ate! And perhaps the most surprising part is the value. I’ve stayed at luxury hotels around the world, and I genuinely think a property of this caliber could easily cost several times as much in the United States. The combination of the setting, accommodations, food, amenities, and service is really hard to beat. I don’t write reviews this enthusiastic very often, but Sanctum Inle absolutely deserves it. It was one of the highlights of my trip to Myanmar, and I would go back in a heartbeat. If you’re visiting Inle Lake, I can’t recommend this place enough!

Hillock villa is walking distance to local market of Kalaw and close to the click tower. They serve an awesome breakfast in the garden if the weather allows! The beds are comfortable, and the room is spacious with one double and one single bed. The bathroom had a bathtub, but to take a shower was a bit hard as the shower hose was not very long for us tall foreigners 😉 Parking can be a challenge as the road is steep and the parking place is not big enough to easily turn your car. We enjoyed our stay very much and for sure book again next time in Kalaw!

Следующим после Янгона нашим объектом стало озеро Инле в штате Шан. В Мьянме есть строго определенное число объектов, открытых для туристов, по ним и ездили. Аэропорт называется Хехо, дальше на такси нужно ехать до городка Ньоншуэ, который стоит на канале, впадающем в то самое озеро. Здесь отели двух типов: непосредственно на берегу озера стоит ряд спа-отелей (там поселили русскую группу, с которой мы через несколько дней столкнулись при вылете в Паган, и они жаловались, что их не выпускали из отеля, мол потеряетесь) и в самом городе, где жили и мы. В городке населения довольно мало, квадратно-гнездовая планировка, поэтому при всем желании там заблудиться очень сложно. Такси от аэропорта до города стоит у таксистов 45 тыс. местных денег (довольно дорого, 1,5 тыс рублей, езды 40 минут), отель предложил трансфер за 40, им мы и воспользовались и туда, и обратно. На въезде в город машина притормаживает у пункта, где с вас как туристов берут по 10 долларов за билеты на посещение озера (хозяин отеля посоветовал сразу сделать фото, если потерять или намочить билеты, фото в Мьянме легитимно), затем мы прибыли в отель, где у нас сразу изъяли багаж, принесли полотенца протереть руки и сок. Отель в части сервиса выше всяких похвал: хозяин сразу спросил, чем планируем заняться, предложил на следующий день тур по озеру на лодке на целый день (60 тыс), потом поездку на такси в столицу штата Таунджи (75 тыс, там подъемы в две горы, сложная дорога), на третий день - отельные велосипеды и подробно показал маршрут прогулки. Когда спросили, где поменять деньги, сказал, что можем поменять сам, что и сделала - меняли у него два раза по 100 долларов по курсу 3000 за 1 доллар. Когда не смогли зарегиться на следующий рейс - пришли спросить у него, что делать, он сам позвонил в аэропорт и нас зарегили по телефону. В общем, отель рекомендую. Номер просторный, тоже с высокой удобной кроватью, с новым ремонтом (жили на 3 этаже). Из 4 дней 3 мы жили там одни. Уборка каждый день. Расположение хорошее: улица тихая, через дорогу школа (было тихо, возможно, каникулы) и местный музей, до лодочного причала пешком минут 10. На соседней улице сразу нашли ресторан, где можно готовить на спиртовке шведский стол, ходили туда два дня, потом наигрались и ходили в ресторан через стенку от отеля (туда даже добивает отельный инет). До рынка тоже минут 10. Ну а храмы и прочее по всему городу в изобилии. Завтрак с 7. Заметила следующее: когда мы были в отеле одни, то нам накрывали сразу на столе, в тот день, когда кроме нас в отелей было еще человек 6, сделали шведский стол. Выбор не очень большой, но мы наедались. Если будете выходить гулять или поесть с наступлением темноты, настоятельно рекомендую средство от комаров, они тут сущие звери.

Golden Kalaw Inn is walking distance from the local market (every 5 days). The room is spacious and has 3 single beds and every thing you need. Beds are clean but a bit hard according to western standard. Only big towel is provided and no towel to dry your feet coming out of the shower. The internet is good and the manager made sure that there was power all the time. Overall, we enjoyed our stay!

To be exact, this is a homestay with few rooms, but the environment is good and the service attitude is good. The waiters were all female and featured. We waited two or three hours in the lobby after checking out and left. The waiter helped us cut the papaya and avocado we bought twice for free and was very patient. The only drawback is that it is a bit far from where to eat in town. Free bicycles are provided.

Everything was nice. The only one thing I didn't like much is they booked ticket for me for awful bus. It costed 60000 kiyat for 330 km from Shwenyaung to Nyaung U. We were on the way 15 hours!!! Before I paid 45000 kiyat for 630 km from Yangon to Mandalay and it took 12 hours. It was a big mistake to book bus ticket in this hotel (((

The location of the hotel is better. On the edge of Niangshui Town is the cruise ship pier. It is a bit noisy in the morning along the street. The room is very clean. Because it is built on the water, it is recommended to bring liquid mosquito coils to provide mosquito-repellent incense. But the mosquito-repellent incense is too old. It is worth mentioning that the breakfast is very rich. The manager of the restaurant is very enthusiastic. The English speaking staff is very fluent and very friendly. Be sure to experience it again next time.

This is a good value hotel. Room condition is spacious and clean The hotel staff is also very friendly. We talked late at the restaurant, and I want to thank the staff who waited until late. The water in the swimming pool is also very clean and very good. I want to visit the next opportunity Thank you

I give this place an average review and not a poor one because we paid only $52 for 7 nights and the staff were lovely. However, there were a great deal of negatives which I feel I have to share. (This is not to say that every room in the guesthouse is the same but I could not know) - ‘Breakfast’ is a cold pancake with sauce. The pancake was so awful I could not eat it. (There is an option to pay 1000kyats for toast and an egg but we didn’t bother. There are plenty cheap restaurants to eat at nearby). - Our room was right underneath the water pump which seemed to be constantly banging on our ceiling. - There was not always hot water - The room was not very clean. They asked us if we wanted it ‘cleaning’ whilst we were staying longer than normal so they did on our 4th day when we asked but didn’t even replace our towels. - The electricity went off a lot. - The mattress was not a proper mattress so quite hard. - Plug socket was at head height on the opposite wall to the bed head. This room might be ok if you have a very low budget or are only staying in Inle for 1 or 2 nights but was not enjoyable for our week stay.
