Golden Empress Hotel

BEST SERVICE, LOCATION

The moment i enter the hotel the ambience was so nice..the staff also polite and she gave us early checkin around 6am. We hv to checkout at 7pm so we ask her for allowing us to hv our bfast upon arriving and she allowed. The room is spacious and also beautiful decoration..bathroom also spacious and they put big bottle of pantene shampoo and lux body shampoo WOW! We are so happy with our short stay 😍😍😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Stayed 1 day, but definitely felt welcomed from the staffs there. We arrived really early (5am) and they let us into a guest room to rest and wash up as our room were not yet ready. The breakfast is amazing, fresh fruits and the hotel owner even offered to give us extra serving of fruits! They were really efficient when we approached them and wanted to book a taxi to redmountain. They called and within minutes the tuktuk arrived. The room were all covered with wood and it is really nice and clean. Overall, a pleasant stay! Will come back again, surely!

Excellent atmosphere. Interior decor is made up of beautiful wooden furnishings with a rustic Burmese touch. It's also a friendly family-run business. Everyone was pretty attentive to our needs. And the breakfast was extremely generous too. Would definitely stay here again.

The Golden Empress is a really nice hotel with large and very clean rooms and really good choice of freshly cooked breakfasts; however, the main plus point for us was the staff , they where extremely helpful and made our stay one of the best we have had in Myanmar.

boss is very nice and help us to solve the problems

Highly recommended

This is a home style hotel with local taste. The reception girl is very smart and fast reaction. The room service young girl is shy but lovely. The location is excellent although a tiny tonw, it is close to the boat boarding point. Hot water is hot enough and free bottle portable water. The WiFi is slow as many remote area. The breakfast is overly simple but with plent fruits.

excellent location, beautiful old teak house. young staff are friendly and sweet. also very helpful in making local calls for boat trips and cooking classes. love the extra perk of fridge full of water in the lobby!

Room was spacious with a nice balcony but the corners of the wooden floors were not well cleaned and you can easily see old and new dust in the corners. The bathroom was very rusty and moldy and the water temperature in the shower was very inconsistent (going from scalding hot to cold in seconds).

We took a night bus from Yangon, so we arrived Golden Empress Hotel at about 6am. The host prepared us one empty room to take a rest, we really appreciated it!

+ Very helpful staff on resto, signts recommendations, also changed our room when one became available (due to unpleasant smell) + Aircon, good running hot water + Great location, 7mins walk from jetty, off the noisy path + Okay breakfast (eggs/ pancakes, toast, jam) - First room we got was smelling bad; note that some rooms face reception, breakfast area so potentionally could be noisy - Bathroom little worn out

Hotel was simple, clean and a great location. The staff were exceptionally helpful. I loved the free bottled water. Breakfasts were very good with fresh half ripe avocado, yummy banans eggs, or crepe. Strong coffee. Wish the kids were in school and not working at breakfast... but this is sad reality in Myanmar.

We had 4 rooms for 2 nights. Important is tge beds were comfortable and quiet cos its off a small road. Competent staff who speaks good English. Breakfast is simple but sufficient. Avocado served during breakfast is very good.

The lovely staffs were so warm hearted, I believe they would do everything to make us happy if we just ask. Not only insisted to carry our backpacks when we stepped in, they offered helps and knowledges to go around Inle everyday with happy smiles, cooked us great breakfast with everything we ordered, helped us to arrange bus tickets, upgraded our rooms for free, on the last day every staff was outside of the car waving to us and saying good bye. As a guest I felt totally welcomed at this place, I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone I know.

I loved this place! Arrived at 6 am and my room wasn’t ready, so they kindly allowed me to crash in a recently vacated room for an hour or so before my own room was ready. I also received a feee upgrade and everyone was so warm and friendly. It’s far from the main road, so it’s nice and not too busy. There is a great little spa (jasmine) just across the road offering very good massages.

Thanks for kindness, facilities , reasonable price.

We had a very enjoyable and relaxed 3 days here, and are returning for another night after 3 days on Inle Lake itself. This is not a boring, large modern hotel. The authentic interior is filled with the owner's collection of antiques, artworks and collectables. There are several good restaurants close to this small hotel. Kyaw and his staff are all really friendly and helpful. He arranged a boat driver for our time on Inle Lake and we couldn't have had a better experience- thanks! We would definitely recommend this hotel.

We had a wonderful stay. The owner was there to greet us at check in. They upgraded us to the family room which was very large with a big bed and 2 twins. We had a corner room which had a good size balcony which had an umbrella covering. Great place to sit and watch the town go by. Breakfast was amazing. They have wonderful bananas pancakes (ctrepes) with several different kinds of fruit. They also make eggs any style as well as omelettes. They helped us arrange a boat trip to Inle Lake as well as assisted in selecting a hotel in Yangon. The hotel doesn't do laundry onsite however they arranged to send clothes out paying a minimal amount by kilo. If ever in town again this would be the place we would stay. P.S.- Right arcross the street was a cute little spa called Jasmines that we took advantage of for several different services for a very reasonable price. Thank you again Golden Empress for continuing to impress us with Myanmars hospitality!

We arrive at 5:30am and the staff allowed us not only to leave our luggage but to freshen up in a vacant room before we go out for our day tour. Rooms are clean and well stocked with necessuties. Breakfast was tasty and unlimitted. Staff were were very helpful. Highly recommended.
