Rooms are air-conditioned and guests have access to a shared bathroom. Dormitory-style rooms provide a privacy curtain, a personal reading light and an electrical socket. Shelf space and a large locker are also available.

I loved being treated like family at SOT - from the messages I exchanged with Fiona the owner, to the care and help to book bus tickets, a boat trip and a private driver to the hotpools and Kalaw. Shwe the manager is super friendly and helpful, along with the whole staff there. The food was great, alot of Korean meals. I must have eaten half my meals there! I also ate local breakfasts thanks to Shwe, which I loved. My dorm bed was super clean and spacious - bathrooms are clean and plentiful. Love the rooftop which catches beautiful sunrises and sunsets, cool breezes and great views. Free bikes allowed me to roam Nyaung Shwe easily. There's the Red Mountain winery nearby, which has great views and a stunning sunset. Jesu ba for a wonderful first time visit to Inle! I will be back in July with my son and 2 friends!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I think this is maybe the only hostel that's still open in Nyang Shwe. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The rooftop was a nice place to hang out, and the food was pretty good. Overall I enjoyed it and I would stay there again.

    We felt like at home. The owner Nway Nway - caring and helpful. The staff was very friendly and kind. Delicious breakfast (pancakes, toasts, fresh fruits and yummy homemade pineapple jam). Room spacious and clean. Finally, a quick note for those who are wondering whether to go to Myanmar or not.. My advice - go. We were there several times and we have never felt unsafe. And remember: your arrival can help many ordinary people to survive during these difficult times

    It is a budget guest house. The facility is ok for the charges. They should have paid more attention to the bathroom. Else it is a cheap and good place to stay.
