"I arrived this hotel on January 2026, and went to check into the hotel, but found that the hotel had been closed for a long time. This hotel is not operate anymore."
"Pros
1. Rooms are just okay - spartan (not big) along with toothbrush, toothpaste, bath gel, shampoo
3. Free water bottle per day
4. Refilling of water near the reception area
5. good Restaurants within 20 metres
6. Very Nice balcony - you can see the sunrise sitting in your room (provided you get the road facing room) and spend time with your friends in the huge balcony.
7. Exceptional location
8. Reasonably good Breakfast - they will take you to a nearby restaurant
Cons
1. Staff hardly understands English (it is true for almost all the hotels we stayed in Myanmar)
2. There is no AC or Fan. We had to tell them to give a table fan - which they gave. Considering it is a hill station , it is not a big problem. But since the height of the hill station is not great - the temperature is not that cold - when we stayed
3.When we came the owner was not there & hotel staff initially said there is no booking in our name. The hotel booking is in the name of Golden Kalaw Inn, whereas the name mentioned Infront of the hotel is Hotel Golden Kalaw.So when they said there is no booking in your name, we thought it must be some other hotel
4. Then they said we are not supposed to get any breakfast - which was also not correct. Later they did provide breakfast.
5. Then the owner said they have received payment only for 1 room and not two rooms - this is also not correct. I had to explain this to her for 6-7 min. Later we were allotted two rooms. All this causes lot of anxiety to the tourits"
