    Chin State

    These comfortable green-roofed bungalows double as private viewpoints, with panoramas of cloud-draped, forested mountains just beyond. Slightly less…

  • Hotel GBH

    Chin State

    Kalay's newest hotel is the most westerly, so far from the airport, but walking distance to the bus and train stations. Rooms have nice hardwood floors,…

    Rooms 202 or 302 are among the nicest rooms in the area, with large front-facing bow windows, perfect for bringing in afternoon sunlight (helpful for…

  • Rung Guest House 2

    Chin State

    Pricey for Hakha, with nine spic-and-span rooms, small TVs, queen-sized beds and hot water. Across from the stadium and, more importantly, the closest…

    Four brightly coloured aluminium cabins are perched above the cliffside village of Thaing Nyin, just west of the junction where the road splits in three…

  • Floral Breeze Hotel

    Chin State

    Fraying around the edges, with both bungalows and concrete hotel-style accommodation, Floral Breeze is one of the larger complexes around. The thin…

  • Hotel Moe

    Chin State

    Moe's most appealing assets are its proximity to the airport, only a short walk away, and the elevator, especially welcome when lugging heavy bags in the…

  • Ciimnuai Guest House

    Chin State

    Ciimnuai has great views of Kennedy Peak from its terrace and homey, carpeted communal area. Rooms, barely large enough to fit a bed, share a grungy…

  • Shwe Taung Tang Guesthouse

    Chin State

    One of the few places to stay in Kanpetlet itself, Shwe Taung comes with three options: tiny, dismal rooms in the front-facing orange building; nicer ones…

  • Family Guesthouse

    Chin State

    The town's newest hotel also has the nicest room, making it worth the 15-minute trudge uphill from the KBZ Bank in the centre of town. It's the 2nd-floor…

  • Beautyland Guest House

    Chin State

    It's a stiff, 15-minute walk uphill from the centre of town, but the rewards are great views over Falam and the hills. Two downstairs rooms have private…

  • Victoria Guest House

    Chin State

    If convenience rather than quiet is a priority, this small and personable guesthouse, located directly across from the market and next to a minibus …

  • Hotel Mindat

    Chin State

    Soulless, cavernous and overpriced, this white elephant perched on a hill at the far eastern end of town is the largest hotel in Chin State. On the other…

  • Holy Guest House

    Chin State

    The unsmilng owner runs a tight ship. Unfortunately, it's a sinking one. Rooms are no larger or better furnished than a prison cell. The fairly dismal…

  • Pine Wood Villa

    Chin State

    Unlike other nearby places, the all-wood rooms in Pine Wood's main building are probably nicer than the bungalows. With the latter, however, you're paying…

  • Yaw Hotel

    Gangaw

    The multistorey, purple-painted Yaw is towards the southern end of town and has spacious, tile-floored rooms with TVs and a roof with views. Ask the…

  • Shalom Guest House

    Chin State

    A bit of a mixed bag. You wouldn't expect this relatively grand-looking guesthouse with a porte cochère on the side to have a squat toilet in the…

  • Rih Shwe Pyi Guest House

    Chin State

    This is the best place to stay if you're overnighting in Rihkhawdar. The more expensive rooms are large, though they still have cold-water showers. The…

  • Grace Guest House

    Chin State

    The 'special' rooms out the back in a new wooden block are eccentrically arranged so that the beds occupy almost all the space, but they are comfortable…

  • View Point Guesthouse

    Chin State

    On a clear day you can see the peak of Mt Victoria from the roof of this newly opened, friendly guesthouse towards the western end of town. Rooms are…

  • Shin Hong Hotel

    Chin State

    If being within walking distance of the bus station is vital, the institutional-looking Shin Hong will do. The rooms are of adequate size, but there's no…

  • Rih Restaurant & Bungalows

    Chin State

    The 12 grubby, tatty bungalows here (no fan, hard beds) aren't recommended, but if you want to stay by Rih Lake, it's the only option. There's an outdoor…

  • Rung Guest House

    Chin State

    Run-down and haggard and still overpriced, Rung is best as a last resort if other guesthouses are booked. The more expensive rooms come with their own…
