Great service! ”
I was really impressed by the hospitality and service at the Yar Pyae Hotel. When our bus arrived early in the morning, they allowed us to rest in our room before taking the boat trip on Inle Lake. When we wanted to shower before the long bus ride back to Yangon (even after we checked out), they accommodated us. We booked our boat trip through the hotel, rented bikes, and got a great restaurant recommendation (Natural Restaurant). Definitely recommend for anyone traveling to Inle for a few days!

basic but great staff”
This hotel was a little basic, in terms of facilities. A few times the water was shut off without warning for "repairs". I liked the location - a short walk away from the main road in Nyaung Shwe, so a little quieter - but the hotel didn't have the charm of some of the other hotels we saw. Also, the breakfast was adequate, but not special. Having said all that, the hotel was clean, it had a lovely little rooftop bar, the room was spacious and airy, and the staff were great! Very helpful. They booked us a wonderful boat trip on Inle lake, rented us decent bikes for a dollar a day, and arranged airport transport for us. They were very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help us out. All in all, a great place to stay!

Fantastic staff”
We arrived around 5:00 a.m., after a terrible overnight bus ride from Bagan, and the staff graciously let us check in nine hours early with no additional charge. The day we left, our bus didn't leave until the early evening, and they allowed us to check out after 4:00 p.m., again with no additional charge. They had bikes for hire at only $1 for the entire day. The bikes weren't great, but they were adequate. They also arranged our boat trip for us and our bus tickets when we left. The hotel is about a 20-minute walk from where you catch the boats and is near several good restaurants and an interesting local market. They can also arrange a taxi to Pindaya Caves or Kuku. Our computer broke while we were traveling, so we made good use of a shared computer in the Yar Pyae lobby. Breakfast was included, typical Myanmar hotel fare. I highly recommend this place. We had a "superior" room. It was quite large and very comfortable.

Best hotel stay in Myanmar”
We had a great stay at Yar Pyae Hotel. Our room was immaculate, spacious, and comfortable. Nice options of breakfast every morning (lots of fruit, juice and coffee as well). Staff was helpful with information and always pleasant. It is located a little off the main area, but we liked that. Seriously the best value hotel we had in Myanmar.

Excellent service and quality value hotel in Burma”
You can't expect much visiting Inle Lake in Burma. This hotel exceeded all expectations. The service is impeccable -- I arrived at 4am from a long overnight bus ride from Yangon, and without question, they gave me a room that was vacant (I believe it was the last vacant room). So even though I only booked one night, I checked in at 4am. They went out of their way to make sure you felt comfortable, from the delicious breakfast to serving midday fruit snacks. Their location is ideal for boat trips to Inle Lake, as it's not too close to the river that extends to the lake but they're not too far either. They are close to the main road, which makes it easy to access the areas around the lake, such as Red Mountain Estate (a winery you must check out if you have an afternoon to burn...). The room itself was standard, though I am impressed they had universal power outlets. The only real "complaint" is that the water heater was initially turned off outside, so I had a lukewarm shower in the morning. They apologized for this, and I was able to have a hot shower the next day. The entire staff (appears to be a whole family running it) was very pleasant and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Inle Lake.

Great accommodation”
All the good reviews we've read are true! The hotel staff goes out of their way to make your stay here a fantastic experience. We happily overlooked any small inconvenience with the room given all the other things: bikes for $1/day with bicycle maps and explanations from the receptionist, free drink and fruit salad after a long boat trip day and bottled water in the mini-bar at the street price!! I would not stay anywhere else in Nyaung Shwe!

Warm, Friendly & Comfortable”
Wonderful experience at Yar Pyae hotel. The staff are exceptionally kind and the facilities are comfortable and conveniently located to the city. Allowed us to check in early at 5am when the bus arrived. Would gladly stay again.

Enjoyed our stay - great breakfast!”
We stayed here for 3 nights while visiting Inle Lake. Staff were very kind and helpful - replying quickly to emails and offering helpful information. They were also able to organise a pick-up from Heho airport for 20,000 kyats (which I think is decent as I'd heard that taxis from the airport typically charge 25,000 plus) and very thoughtful when I became sick. The price we paid was great - around 30,000 kyat for the room each night and as the rooms were comfortable and clean, and the breakfast was great, we thought it was really good value. The bed was on the hard side, which is fine for me, but my travel companion found it a little hard. Still, we had pretty decent sleep. The only thing that could be improved in the rooms is the bathroom set-up. The shower is not separate from the rest of the bathroom and there is no curtain and no doors - so the water just goes all over the floor of the entire bathroom. At least a curtain would help a little to reduce this. We found this common in budget hotels in Myanmar though. Breakfast was GREAT!! Definitely the best hotel breakfast we had anywhere in Myanmar - choice of eggs (cooked as you like) and toast or pancakes, a plate of fruit and tea/coffee as well as cordial. Not much in the way of facilities - a restaurant (which we didn't eat at), a small but nice roof-top area and the lobby, which has a small library - enjoyed reading a bunch of magazines about Myanmar on a very rainy day. the location was fine - about a 15 min walk from the jetty, but in a decent area with a bunch of nearby restaurants we enjoyed. Thanaka Garden was particularly good. I would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again if I make it back to Inle.

Excellent”
We were very happy with our stay at Yar Pyae. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the hotel is just off the main street so it is quiet and peaceful. Small details such as providing drinks upon your return to the hotel and opening the door for the guests at breakfast go a long way in showing that the staff care to make their guests feel special. Speaking of breakfast, it is delicious! The pancakes are delightful and as a whole, the breakfast is the best of any we had in Myanmar. The hotel has a nice rooftop and beautiful views from the upper rooms. I would happily stay here again.

Such a lovely hotel!”
We stayed for 2 nights and thought it was lovely! The staff are so incredibly nice, to the point where they all stand up when you arrive and give you a towel and tea. If it's raining (like it was when we arrived), they all hold up umbrela's until you get in! The hotel itself is very nice, the room was clean (though we had some bugs: keep an eye on food and toothpaste!), and the breakfast was very nice. The staff helped us arrange a boat tour for Inle Lake, and it was one of the best tours we took! We had Ko Si Thu Naing (Phone: 09428358950) and he was really good! They have bikes for 1 USD a day, which is acceptable, and help give advice on where to go and even give you a rain coat if you need it! Just sweet people running a small hotel. It's about 300m from the start of restaurants, and it's nice a quiet in its location.

Great value, location and staff”
Steps away from best restaurants and bars in Nyaung Shwe. Helpful staff, nice quiet rooftop bar with excellent prices. Breakfast is not a buffet, but a two option choice. Ok. Will definitely stay here again next time I visit the area. Have stayed at some of the fancy resorts around the lake, but too quiet for me.

Exceptional”
Clean, spacious room and bathroom. Quiet as located away from main road but still accessible to various food outlets. Staff are friendly and helpful. You can book Inle lake tour through hotel. Breakfast is omelette or pancake with toast and fruits. Welcome tea are served. There is a rooftop bar with table and seats to chill. My twin room has mountain view and you can see sunrise over the mountain in the morning. Only minor complaint: there is only one power outlet between beds.

A nice hotel with warm greetings”
The hotel is located just near at the main street of Nangshwe. You can find many nice restaurants near at the hotel area (Dimsum, sushi, shan noodle etc) the staff were very kind and ready to help. The breakfast was always the same, but it was prepared warmly with a care. The shower works good with hot water and wifi works good in the standard of Myanmar. I would stay here again if I visit the Inle lake again.

Friendly staff”
It's just a bit "out of downtown". But it's ok. As we know Nyaung Shwe is very small town. Every corner is still walking distance. We rent a bike from the hotel with reasonable price. They also provide free welcome drink which was surprised us. Everything is ok here. All staff are friendly, clean room. I recommend to any one who look for a good place to sleep in Nyaung Shwe.

Miss their delicious breakfast!”
Stayed here for 3 nights. Staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel is decorated with beautiful painting of Burmese life and I love it. Western breakfast is served and is absolutely delicious with fresh ingredient. But i hope they would consider serving Burmese breakfast as well! Tolietries is basic but room is huge and clean. It is about 15 mins walk away from Nyuang Shwe. A little far but given this price and tasty breakfast , I will be back again

Great room, bathroom needed attention”
Great big clean modern room was nice to settle into after our trek from Kalaw. The linens were fresh and the bedside lighting was a nice touch. The bathroom was big too but there was a cobweb on the wall (very apparent) and there was a leak which made a permanent puddle near the toilet. Only one of the two flush buttons worked. Also the towels smelled like cigarette smoke (they must be dried praise or something where someone smokes is my guess). If the bathroom were as clean and modernized as the room, it would make the whole thing a great experience. On a quiet north-south road which is essential because trucks pass all day on the main east-west roads in town. Cheap bicycles for rent allow you to explore town and around the lake. The 20,000 boat trip rate the hotel has is 5,000 higher than you can get from other hotels and boatmen you can easily find in town/by the port area (maybe even cheaper if you're a better bargainer). We were allowed to check out late and hang out at the hotel waiting for our night bus to Mandalay. Their lobby bathroom is clean and nice. The wifi was pretty terrible- very hard to book onward travel online and such. But we were able to use the lobby computer for free. We had low season rates so for this level of hotel it was a pretty good bargain. It was also quiet but I wouldn't be surprised if the hallways echoed with noise in high season when the hotel is fuller. The staff was very accommodating, very pleasant despite most not speaking great English. Breakfast could be improved (mostly white carbs) but no big deal. They had real coffee at least. Highly recommend the nearby dim sum place and Golden Kite for their fresh pasta and chocolate crepe.

Stylish hotel in a pretty good spot”
Yar Pyae is nice, clean, and well run, with bikes available. It's convenient to the strip of restaurants along Nyaungshwe's main street, and not too far from the waterfront.

Quite, clean and comfortable room”
We left Mandalay to Inle Lake by V I P overnight bus, arrived early morning, the staff is very flexible and allowed us checked in immediately. Other good values were the staff gave us fresh fruits juice when we came back from the boat trip and allow us to have shower before we proceed to Bagan by overnight bus.

Amazing hotel, amazing staff”
Words are not enough to describe our experience in this little hotel. First of all, it is very good value for money, the room was nice and big with big windows so quite bright and nice view of the city. We arrived at 4 am with the night bus and we had the opportunity to check in straight away and sleep a bit before our boat trip, it was amazing. Then everytime we were coming back from a walk we had nice refreshing drinks brought to us at the reception. Breakfast was tasty, very lovely service. The reception staff made our stay amazing. Loveliest people ever and we spent our last afternoon with them waiting in the lobby for our next night bus. (Possibility of late check out too). Long review but well deserved. I would not stay anywhere else in Inlay. Definitely coming back. Thank you guys.
