Dormitory @ Golden Kalaw Hotel

Friendly staff, easy early check-in for a reduced fee. Unexpected private twin room instead of dorm. Helpful owner with great tips. Homely atmosphere. Convenient location near markets and yoga studio.

As youngsters, we loved the central location, close to restaurants, market. It was a perfect base for our trek to Lake Inle. The owner was super friendly and flexible, even letting us stay an extra night when I wasn't feeling well. The building may be basic, but it's totally fine. The rooftop terrace had a great view, and the lady at reception gave us helpful advice. The whole place was clean and the warm blankets were appreciated. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of pancakes, jam, and bananas.

Felt cozy, no complaints whatsoever.

Friendly staff, helpful owner, twin bedroom surprise, great tips and recommendations, homely feel, convenient location.

Nothing I didn't like to be fair.

I had a fantastic stay here for 4 nights. The staff was incredibly helpful, and I even got a private room instead of a dormitory. The location is perfect and the shower had hot water. The owner, Ms. Thy Thy, was a wealth of information and helped me book everything I needed. I highly recommend this place for travelers of all kinds.

Would be happy to recommend this hotel.
