Golden Rock Hotel Myanmar — Hotel in Thaton District

After a long ride from Yangon, a rather interesting ride in a crowded truck, and a short (if energetic) walk from the loading station, one is warmly welcomed by at the checkin desk, given a refreshing bottle of cool water and ushered to your room.||Rooms are basic, but adequate and most importantly clean and the beds are comfortable. The water is hot and there is a TV and aircon, although it wasn’t necessary on this trip as it was quite cool already.||The grounds are beautiful, full of scented flowers and pathways leading you down to the main building which has an area for wifi, although sitting on the balcony and chatting is a preferred event.||The staff are very friendly and helpful, although the eagle eyes watching your every move over meals is a bit distracting, but plates are cleared immediately and you are attended to quickly, politely and eagerly!||If you are looking for the hustle and bustle of a town centre, then this might not be the place for you, but if you want clean air and peace and quiet (the trucks stop in the evening), the this is the place to be, a halfway house between Kingpun and the Golden Rock itself.||I enjoyed my stay here and would recommend at least one night as a break from the daily stress of getting around. ||One point to note, if you have a lot of baggage, or struggle walking uphill, then take the trucks to the top and change to one coming down which will drop you at the hotel.

So thin in fact that the wind blew into the room. A sleeping bag open air is more honest. Breakfast a desolation in a windy hall. Maybe the ongoing restauration makes the pricy adventure worth going. For the time being: stay...

You have reviews of this great hotel so i will tell you about our tour of the Golden Rock. we went with Buffalo Tours which were just great they went out of their way to look after us ,our Guide was Ko Zaw Min Oo who i cant say enough good things about. Now Kyaikhityo or Golden Rock is a must see place if you are going to Myanmar its about 3 to 4 hours out of Yangon so it might be a great idea to stay at the Golden Rock Hotel for a night, the Golden Rock is and immense Bloulder perched precariously on the side of a cliff, make the walk up to its glittering facade and take in the incredible views you will love it,...
