Not usually this long-winded... The pool area was not as relaxing as I’d hoped. One of the staff members talked so loudly at the upstairs restaurant, which is open to the pool below, that it was a disappointment. Elevator nice to have. Dinner with two types of noodle dishes that were very average, 3. Breakfast 7-10am was not geared toward a Western clientele, with only a couple of egg items and fruit. Vienna-type sausages truly tasted like rubber. Worst breakfast ever. Another breakfast at the hotel was an overcooked omelet, toast with jam, fruit and orange juice. Served in the enclosed dining hall on the 4th floor. There is also an open-aired seating area between the two eating areas. The other guests were extraordinarily loud, especially in the hallway outside our Room 101 which is next to the elevator.

In addition, they can pick you up/give you a ride to the airport. The internet worked well. I also like the fact that the hotel is in a quiet part of town. One thing to note - there is not a safe in each room. Besides that, everything...
Read moreI first stayed at this hotel in June and I found the hotel quite nice as it opened in February.||As a result, everything seemed new , which I enjoyed very much.||Just about 4 km from the city center, the location of the hotel is not bad and the fact that there is a swimming pool here is something positive.||If you’re a keen runner or jogger, just get up a bit early and take a sightseeing tour of the city of Loikaw running or jogging at your own pace on the almost deserted but smooth and clean streets .||If there are not many guests, no buffet breakfast.||But don’t forget to order “ pan cakes” at breakfast because they took me by surprise.||The hotel is quiet both day and night ensuring the guests some nice sleep.||Another good thing is that there are some restaurants nearby that sell traditional Kayah food and my favorite is the...
