Excellent Stay

Very nice hotel centrally located in Nyaungshwe. Although not a newer building, the hotel is well maintained. Plenty of hot water and good WiFi. Comfortable and quiet. The set breakfast is also good. Special mention goes out to the hotel staff, who are friendly and courteous. The young lady at the front desk is most helpful and gracious. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

アーリーチェックインにも対応してもらえました。

朝食のパンケーキが美味しかったです。 また、インレー湖のボートも手配しましたが、湖内の各地へ連れていってもらい、満喫できました。 １点、お湯が夜遅い時間帯に出なかったので、熱いシャワーを好む人は注意が必要です。現地の方は熱いシャワーが苦手な人も多いので問題なかった様でした。

Had a nice stay

We were very happy about the check-in (it was very fast). The reception lady was very nice her english was pretty good she pays a lot of attention to our comfort especially when she knew that our daughter wasn’t feeling well, we appreciate a lot her gesture especially in this kind of remote city. We have been upgraded to a superior room but the hot water of the shower was hard to adjust the bathroom door couldn’t close. The hotel is super well located and very quiet street.

インレーのアットホームな居心地のいい宿

家族経営かと思いますが、受付の子は流暢な英語で旅のアレンジもしてくれてとても協力的でした。2泊しましたが、部屋も綺麗に掃除してありました。インレーについたすぐに周辺は停電で心配しましたが、その後は停電もなく、快適に過ごせました。トリプルの道路沿いの部屋でしたが、静かで、スーツケースを広げるスペースもあり、3人でも狭さは感じませんでした。バスタブの上のシャワーが壊れていて？使えませんでしたが、バスタブから少し離れたところにあるシャワーを伸ばしてなんとか使えました。お湯も出ました。wifi通信が時々途切れて受付に言いに行くとリセットしてもらえてすぐ使えるようになりましたが、その事で何度か受付に行きました。部屋にもペットボトルの水を用意してくれてありましたが、受付横の冷蔵庫のペットボトルの水もいつでも取っていって良いよと言われて、出かける際も冷たい水を飲めて良かったです。インレーに行くことがあればまたお世話になりたいです。

Great family hotel, rooms are nicely decorated and clean, location is very good. Staff goes the extra mile and more, always taking amazing care of visitors. Boat and car tours can be booked easily and at good price, same applies for bus tickets, etc. Can't recommend it enough - the only place we would consider in this town. Note: This was our second visit (first in 2017) and we were happy to see that everything is still as good as we remember it from before.

訪れてまず設備の素敵さに感激した。木をふんだんに使った、ぬくもりのある建物で、ベッドやトイレも広々。 また、スタッフの方が大変親切で、何から何まで気にかけてくれた。アーリーチェックイン対応や、チェックアウト後も出発前まで部屋を使わせてもらえた。 朝ごはんは手作りのバナナパンケーキが絶品！コーヒーやフルーツも非常に美味しかった。

The hotel staff was excellent on all counts. Only drawbacks were no television and water system which made the sound of Darth Vader and when in the shower the water would pulsate between hot and cold; and the breakfast choice (3) never varied which only mattered for us since we stayed for several days.

悪くはないけどもっといいホテルが・・・

1階の部屋はドア1枚隔ててロビーだったり食堂だったりしますので、人の話し声が聞こえます。隣の家からの声もよく聞こえます。夜は静かになりますのでそれほど気にはなりません。部屋にはいすとテーブルがほしいです。スペースはありますので。朝御飯のパンケーキは焼きたてで美味しいです。おなじような値段のホテルとしては、ホテルエンペラーの方が断然お勧めです。

Friendly staff, good location and comfy bed

Golden empress is a good choice for tight budget travellers, good amenities and comfy bed. Location is close to the Main Street just 5-8 mins walking, it is very close to JJ express bus stop just 500metre away, easy to access for bus travellers. Breakfast is good, we were up to check out at 6am and it was 30 mins apart from breakfast time but the staff still served us earlier, super friendly.
