Hotel Ba Thaung

Getting around from here was easy, and the staff were polite, helpful, and very nice. Not everyone spoke English, but I could explain what I needed without trouble. The room had a mini fridge, a comfortable bed, clean linen, and a good view. Clean, comfortable, and a good place if you’re not expecting too much.

The staff were friendly and courteous, and there were plenty of breakfast choices. You can buy bus tickets here or rent a motorbike to explore the area. The hotel is basic, but clean, apart from a dead grasshopper by the toilet. I didn't need anything fancier, though the price felt a little high for the quality.

The place is clean and the staff are very friendly. The manager tries so hard to be helpful that it can get annoying. WiFi was unusable, so use mobile data. Hot water is limited by an odd heater setup: you have to wait for the whole tank to heat. One of those small heaters that warms water as it flows would be a good fix.

The view was nice, but the hotel was filthy and poorly maintained, with no proper cleaning or upkeep. Pigeons had made a huge mess, and there were so many mosquitoes. They didn't even provide mosquito repellent. This was the worst hotel experience I've had. I'd avoid staying here.
