Bearing in mind that this is a three star hotel, the accommodation is quite acceptable. The staff are very friendly and willing to please. The restaurant serves excellent local food and good western-style food. My 11 year old insists their beef steak is the best ever (he had it three nights in a row) and my husband felt the same...

This was our favorite hotel on our ten day holiday to Burma. It is a bit worn, but we loved it. The staff was very helpful, the pool was lovely (although rather cold!) and the location was simply perfect. We often took a boat out for dinner - something that I would recommend as their menu is rather limited. However,... More

We stayed 2 nights at the Shwe Inn Tha. The location is simply amazing. The hotel is a bit dated (like most in Burma!) but the room (we had the suite) was nice and comfortable. The swimming pool is small but very nice considering the location. The food at the restaurant was surprisingly good. The staff were extremely welcoming and... More

We stayed 4 nights at the hotel. The first night there must have been a marriage in the neighbouring village : noise until 3 am. OK, this can happen anywhere. Breakfast is very elementary : no bread choice; you have fruit (this was the best thing of the whole breakfast) eggs, bacon and of course some Burmese noodle varieties. When... More

The BAD NEWS: It is an hour from the airport to Inle, then an hour by boat to the hotel - wear a hat & sunscreen because you'll be in the sun a long time...The hotel is surrounded by lots of water, which means there are mosquitos! Bring insect repellant & make sure the hotel staff sets up the mosquito... More

Shwe In n Tha Whoever recommends this hotel (RESORT???) as a 4 star establishment is not used to much. Whilst the over the water rooms on stilts are in a good position they leave a lot to be desired for the money asked. Cleanliness is not the strong point. It took 2 maids just 5 minutes to make the beds... More

Heat and ac unit did not work. Inle Lake is down right cold in the early morning. Style was meant to mimic the floating villages and it succeeded in that. Room nicely appointed. Dinner was good, breakfast, hot dishes were tepid.

We stayed three nights at the resort and were treated wonderfully. Friendly and attentive staff but not overbearing. they presented me with a surprise and a gift on my birthday and lent us a boat to paddle to local village on our own. Highly recommend it

The resort is constructed using local materials and style, we loved it but maintenance seemed to be wanting a little e.g. door hooks falling off. The location is close to most of the more interesting areas on the lake. However, you need about one hour for the lake crossing and another one hour for the taxi to the airport HEHO.... More
