Nanda Wunn Hotel - Hostel

2.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (3)
"夜行バスなので朝早く着いたけど、朝ご飯を食べに出かけている間に部屋を用意してくれました。 シャワーを浴び、インリー湖ボートツアーに出かけることができました。スタッフさんは皆さん親切です。レセプションは英語で大丈夫です。超ローカルミャンマーホテルですので、私のようにミャンマー在住4年の者なら大丈夫ですが、観光客にはちょっと・・・でも、場所もとても便利、食べるにも買い物にも,JJバスステーションにも近く、帰りの夜行バスの時間いっぱいまで街で過ごしました。荷物も夕方まで預かってもらいました。"

Taunggyi Golden Wing Motel 2 - Hostel

1.0 star property
4.0 out of 10, (7)
"Our room was paid and warranty however when arrived the hotel had no room for us. We are foreigners and traveled very far to this town for the annual balloon festival. The hotel receptionist told us there are no room in the town now. This business practice is unethical. The hotel sold my room for very high price due to greed. We were stranded . We have no choice but travel to next available far away town."

Hostel Roma Inn

1.5 star property
8.0 out of 10, Very good, (2)
"Good backpacker hotel/hostel. Staff and owner were very nice and helpful. They would do anything for you. Let us check in early after all the trekkers left in the morning and they cleaned the room for us right away. Booked great treking through them. Nice fire pit in evening to socialize with your fellow travellers. If hot water is not working just ask as the system seems to air lock sometimes, otherwise nice hot showers. Pancakes are standard for breakfast unless you ask for something else....
