Reviews of Sandalwood Hotel 3 stars

Owner of the hotel is so passionate and helpful. I enjoyed the stay here very much. Breakfast at the rooftop is amazing. Free bicycle, trip arrangements and tourists tipps. Would book this hotel again and again :)

Power shortages, but the hotel offers battery lamps and power banks for free :)

Host (sorry I forgot her name) is amazing, helpful, knowledgeable, kind, attentive. Excellent breakfast, great location -- 2 min walk to boat dock, food, market, etc. Electricity is rare (as of Feb 25) and most places are still recovering from the floods in late 24, and still repairing their generators so plan accordingly. Overall not an issue as you can recharge at night. Host can arrange anything you need and for decent prices -- boat tours, taxis, rentals, etc.

Very good host even in this difficult times for the people of Myanmar she managed to keep it clean and safe helping with booking bus tickets and boat trip. I fully recommending this place after visiting over 1000 cities and staying in over 1000 different hotels/ hostels around the world.

Special thanks to my host. Like a caring Mom. The breakfast was one of the best i ever had in Asia. Wish you all the best😊

Very clean, very new, super tasty breakfast each day new, super nice and responsive landlord, god bless her and give her long happy life.

Everything perfect.

The owner is an amazing woman - she tried to help as she could and she did it - she did everything to make the stay as comfortable as it possible! The breakfast was huge and tasty! Finally, I got fried eggs and fruits at the breakfast not rice or cold noddles as before! The shower was hot hot as I like!!! The room is comfortable and clean! The bicycles at the hostel are free to use at any time! The owner helped to organise a boat tour, buses to Mandalay, money change and with other questions as well! She gave me a charger and power bank when l needed them!!!

Everything was perfect!

Best place in town, big rooms with hot shower. Stayed here for 5 days. Rooftop breakfast at sunrise is plentiful and cooked personally for guest. Free bike rent and good tips from owner to explore town and surrounding areas. Highly recommend this place for everyone 👍🏼

All good

wonderful hostess. she helped me with everything: book an excursion, buy a bus ticket, order a taxi. clean room, clean bed linen. 2 bottles of water. shampoo, shower gel in the bathroom. very large and delicious breakfasts.

It is inconvenient that there is no lamp near the bed, only overhead light.

The hotel is managed by a very diligent lady. She does her work well and gives you excellent advices. You can book your activities in the city with her. I recommend you that if you're going to inle lake as a tourist you could bring some clothes or canned food to give to the people. The situation got bad since the flooding on September, so every help will be appreciated.

Breakfast was gook. Bike offered was free to explore the town, and villages around. Rooms are huge. A few meters away from the dock to catch a boat to go to the lake.

everything was just perfect. I really nice hotel, right in front of the "port" where you can get a boat to go to the lake. They provide free bike to go around. Breakfast was really good.

This is a 25 rooms family hotel, managed by Nway Tun. As soon as you meet her in the reception you get the feeling that this is your new home and almost your new family. Nway and her staff will be there for you with a big smile 24/7. She is great in assisting with planning your local trips based of knowledge only local people have and connecting you with the best providers. She is there to understand what you need before you even say it. The hotel was renovated recently, after the September floods, rooms are comfortable and the breakfast served on the roof is very generous. Location is nearby the big pagoda the river and the location of all the festivals. It is very difficult to translate atmosphere to words so I will just say that if you want to have a unique experience this hotel is highly recommended.

It was a very unusual situation where we got stuck in flood. The owner Nway Nway went above and beyond to make sure that my 9 month old kid and I were safe and cared for. I’ll never forget her hospitality and kindness. The ground floor of the hotel is now damaged and I really wish and pray Nway Nway overcomes the situation and tourists come and boom the economy at Inle Lake.

Everything perfect.

I really enjoyed my stay. A very rich and good breakfast, free bikes to borrow and a very good location. The owner was always very helpful and friendly. We recommend.

The staff are absolutely wonderfull. Helpful and always with a smile. The room was huge and spacious and the bed comfortable. On my last day the lovely owner made me a hamburger before my flight back to Yangon. Breakfast was perfect and abundance and gets you through the whole day. Also it is near the jetties for the Inle lake starting point on the boats. Good shops around and restaurants. Markets close by. You must try the winery!!!! Well worth the visit. Thank you to everyone at the Sandalwood Hotel….

Clean nice and good value of money the staff was amazing and helpful

Nothing all good

Wow, what a great hotel! Where do I begin? - The room - spacious and clean (they clean it every day + folding your cloths...), big and bright bathroom, bottles of water renewed every day, a kettle, safe box and tvt - The unbelievable generous breakfast - great selection - you will not be able to finish it. - The location - less then one minuet from the river, where the boat takes you to Inle lake. Also 3 minuets walk to the night market - Huge beautiful public balcony with a great evening breeze - The family that runs the hotel - unbelievable people - they will take care of you in such a gentle way. They found out I love coffee - so every day they would make me a pot of a filtered coffee and bring it to my room, long after breakfast. - Reservation - they can book a boat trip to the lake, a car+ driver to take you around, and bus tickets to Bagan, Mandalay, etc. - Atmosphere - relaxed, welcoming, Wonderful. Thank you Nway Nway and her family - you are Wonderful :)

Nothing

I was very impressed about price/quality of this hotel. Very comfortable, clean and good furnishings rooms with ful bathl set, clean towels, comfort bed and pillows, safe box, tv and internet. Very, very, very exelent breakfast!!! And 1000% kind owner and her family! You can buy at this hotel boat tour to the lake, rent a bicycle, buy bus tickets, and use laundry. From the terrace very nice view to the sunset. Hotel located on the quiet street near the river, night market, and some restaurants. I was totally satisfied to stay in this hotel. Thank you very much!)))
