Royal Inlay Hotel

i must say , i was not too crazy about nyaungshwe but i loved my hotel ! it took me a long time to decide where to stay as so many places had gotten great reviews , what sold me with that hotel is that they were offering a special on line where you could get a ' suite ' for the price of a regular double room and i liked the fact that it was located right by the boat jetty - i read some reviews that some people were bothered by the noise of the boats but to me i enjoyed as it was part of the atmosphere ! i was given a very large room with the usual perks - safe , fridge , kettle , even a balcony , the bathroom was also very large with many toiletries and brand-new towels , i had a bath tub and a shower with boiling hot water ! the wifi also worked very well thru out the building . every morning i looked forward to the breakfast buffet served on their panoramic terrasse , i loved sipping my coffee as i watched the boats ply the canal . the staff was outstanding and spoke fairly good english , very friendly and always available if you needed assistance . last note , they also provide free bicycles so you can explore the town and the surroundings . lots of good restaurants close by and very close to the great little night market where you can enjoy all kinds of grilled meats and seafood ! to put it in a nutshell : i loved that place !
