This very well-organised hostel – part of an expanding chain – has become the go-to place for backpackers in Nyaungshwe. A variety of dorms is on offer, from four to 14 beds, all fair-sized with decent mattresses, bathrooms inside and cage lockers. Private rooms aren't big but they are comfortable and some come with balconies. Switched-on staff, too.
But the bigger draws are the great rooftop terrace with a daily happy hour from 5pm to 9pm, free pasta served three times a day, the hostel's own Inle Lake tours, the central location and any number of daily events to keep you entertained.
