Must-see hotels in Northern Myanmar

  • Yee Shin Guesthouse

    Hsipaw

    Centrally located and run by a very helpful family. Rooms with shared bathrooms are tiny, but also have a tiny impact on your wallet. There are spacious…

  • Royal Jasmine Hotel

    Pyin Oo Lwin

    Run by popular Burmese crooner Nay Ye Mun (you might even be in town when he gives a performance at the rooftop terrace), this is a clean and cared-for…

  • Grace Hotel 1

    Pyin Oo Lwin

    There's an institutional look and feel to this cheapie, but for the price you can't expect much more. The high-ceilinged rooms are showing their age and…

  • Dahlia Motel

    Pyin Oo Lwin

    A cluster of concrete buildings, the Dahlia offers the cheapest beds in the leafy 'burbs, but is somewhat short on atmosphere. Rooms vary wildly in…

    A new guesthouse with simple dark-wood rooms, some of which have tiled bathrooms. It's right by the Indawgyi Lake shore and an army camp (it can be noisy…

  • Thi Da Aye

    Northern Shan State

    This hotel has large, clean and bland rooms, with proper showers. They're not really worth the money, but the lively location is close to the night market.

  • Guesthouse

    Northern Myanmar

    This nameless guesthouse in Kyaukmaung is as bare bones as it gets, with thin partition walls separating the no-frills cells. Officially foreigners are…
