Friendly staff, easy early check-in for a reduced fee. Unexpected private twin room instead of dorm. Helpful owner with great tips. Homely atmosphere. Convenient location near markets and yoga studio.

As youngsters, we loved the central location, close to restaurants, market. It was a perfect base for our trek to Lake Inle. The owner was super friendly and flexible, even letting us stay an extra night when I wasn't feeling well. The building may be basic, but it's totally fine. The rooftop terrace had a great view, and the lady at reception gave us helpful advice. The whole place was clean and the warm blankets were appreciated. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of pancakes, jam, and bananas.

Felt cozy, no complaints whatsoever.

Friendly staff, helpful owner, twin bedroom surprise, great tips and recommendations, homely feel, convenient location.

Nothing I didn't like to be fair.

I had a fantastic stay here for 4 nights. The staff was incredibly helpful, and I even got a private room instead of a dormitory. The location is perfect and the shower had hot water. The owner, Ms. Thy Thy, was a wealth of information and helped me book everything I needed. I highly recommend this place for travelers of all kinds.

Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

Value for money was great, with clean and comfortable beds in the 4-bed dorm. The location was perfect, right in the heart of town, and the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming.

Breakfast option could be improved with more variety.

The rooms were quite basic and could use some updating, with limited space and outdated bathrooms. the hot water was also unreliable during our stay.

Great location, close to the bus stop and convenient for starting a trek. Friendly and helpful staff, provided useful tips and assistance. - Fantastic rooftop viewing area to enjoy drinks and watch the sunset.

Damp and cold rooms, not great value for money. Bed sheets were questionable in terms of cleanliness.

I stayed at Dormitory @ Golden in Kalaw for 3 nights for a solo trip. The staff, especially the manager, were always helpful and made sure everything was alright. The bed was comfortable, ensuring a good night's sleep. The breakfast was simple but tasty, with options like pancakes and bananas. The location of the hotel was perfect, with many things within walking distance. The rooms were clean and the view from both the room and rooftop was beautiful.

Noisy construction during the day.

As trekkers and a group of friends, we loved the helpful owner who sorted out our trek and transportation effortlessly. the twin rooms in the dorm were perfect for sharing, and the comfortable beds ensured a good night's sleep. the location was great, and the rooftop offered dreamlike views where we could hang out, exercise, and admire the sunrise or sunset. the dorms were clean and spacious, with warm showers and plenty of blankets to keep us cozy. the free drinking water was a bonus, and the breakfast of eggs, toast, tea, and coffee was delicious. It was the best hostel we stayed at in Myanmar.

Felt right at home, no complaints.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. They allowed me to change to the dorm room when my travel companions didn't show up. The place was clean and had a rooftop terrace with a great view. The location was also convenient, close to everything in town.

The hot water was not working and it was quite cold at night. The management didn't seem to know how to fix the problem and the landlady was not helpful either.
