Good budget hotel”
Our room was comfortable and bathroom was OK. We were staying in Kalaw for just one night before heading off on a trek to Lake Inle so for a brief ty the Essence Motel was fine. Breakfast was included as was basic but perfectly good. Staff were very friendly an also really helpful as they made a couple of phone calls for us. Only real negative was that the room smelt musty.

Prepaid booking, no room. .”
No room, even though we had a prepaid booking. When rearranging us to another hotel, they only wanted to pay for six people (when we had booked for eight). Totally useless hotel, staff not professional, hotel also well below expected standard. We were rearranged to Hotel Natureland, very nice rooms, good location, friendly staff. Choose that instead.

Good stay”
Helpful staff with all speaking at least basic English, good location with beautiful views over the town from rooftop terrace, about 10-15 minute walk to the main parts but close to a bakery and a good restaurant. Spacious rooms and bathrooms, very clean and very nicely decorated. Good breakfast spread. Wifi pretty much didn't work just like the rest of the country. One of the days they were almost empty so instead did a cooked to order breakfast, which was quite a bit simpler.

only for short stay”
The hotel is quite far from the centre. Room was not so clean, not pressure in the shower, only cold water. During the night was cold, so we use aircon for heating and it was working well.

Bad service”
We had such a bad experience with this hotel... such a pity because it's a new and nice hotel with great views. The location is the best thing: 10/15 minutes from the center of the city through a very easy and not a dangerous road. We arrived and there was no wifi in the hotel at all, which is OK but when we booked the app clearly stated that they have wifi in EVERY room (we double checked before). Result? No wifi during 2 nights, we had to go to a restaurant in the city to book the next hotel, arrange some details of the trip... We gave them a second chance, because being without wifi is not a tragedy (even if it's in the add and we choose them because of this) BUT... - The first morning breakfast wasn't ready (it is suppose to be a free buffet)... and when we asked for some rice they said that we should have asked the night before. How are we suppose to know if nobody said anything and in the pictures you can see that there is a free buffet? The second morning we had a free buffet. It was just normal... the waiter don't speak a word of english, only the cook. -They didn't cleaned our room!!!!! They didn't made the bed, and they didn't gave us new towels... what a mess! Our shower the second day was with wet towels... What a bad experience... besides this the hotel is new, clean, the bed is confortable... just a normal hotel.

Un poco alejado del centro del pueblo, pero llegas en un momento a la zona de los restaurantes.

Décevant”
Hôtel très excentré sans indication pour y acceder. La rue est introuvable, même sur gps... Le wifi ne fonctionne que dans la reception, mais reste correct. Point positif : hôtel neuf & propre.

Gruseliges hotel!!!”
Das einzig gute war der Preis. Als wir unsere zimmer bekamen,haben wir es keine 5 Minuten darin ausgehalten. Es war extrem muffig und roch nach altem keller!!! Als wir erwähnten,dass wir dort nicht schlafen können,wurden uns zwei andere Zimmer angeboten für einen Aufpreis von 11 dollar. Die waren zwar etwas besser,wir sind aber trotzdem wieder abgereist und haben uns ein anderes Hotel gesucht! Also: nicht zu empfehlen!

Sauber, grosse Zimmer, sehr freundliches Personal”
Das Essence Motel ist ganz neu und sehr hübsch. Die Zimmer sind gross mit Minibar und Wasserkocher und sehr bequemen Betten mit dicken Decken. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und das Frühstück ist lecker. Es hat eine Terrasse mit Blick auf Kalaw. Das Motel liegt sehr ruhig,man ist aber in 10 Minuten im Stadtkern.
