“The environment was quiet and green so it was refreshing and relaxing to stay there. Also, the breakfast served was great as the portion is large. The staff smiled when they saw you which made you feel like respected. The facilities inside the room is adequate. However, there is a 15-min walk from bus drop-off point to this hotel so I recommend those who arrive Kalaw by afternoon can choose this hotel.”
“I really enjoyed my stay here. It has almost the feeling of a nice lodge in the woods. Everything was welcoming and friendly. I particularly liked the little print out in the room with descriptions of some day hikes you can do in the area. Only drawback is that is is a bit far away from the city center (Maybe a 20 min walk).”
“WE arrived there quite late, 4pm. It was about to be sunset and get cold. Receptionist was very friendly and helpful in giving tips to eateries and sights.
The location of the hotel, on top of a hill, gives to great view of the sunset and sunrise as well as being a good marker for navigating back when you explore the small town by foot. ”
“I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Royal Kalaw Hills Resort. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, the food is excellent and the service was personal and everyone was very attentive. Chozin, who manages the resort was particularly helpful and I could always count on her to help me in many capacities. Her English skills are very good and she was able to help tremendously. Thank you all for a lovely visit!”

8. Reasonably good Breakfast - they will take you to a nearby restaurant
Cons
1. Staff hardly……
“Comfortable environment with good scene. Quite and peace. Very good breakfast with nice staff. It's the best one in my two-week round trip in Myanmar.”
“Older building needs bit of maintenance. Outstanding welcome with rose petals and towels folded into statuettes. No air con and quirky electricals. Breakfast only just OK, could have been better for budget. Stairs, no lift, par for course for Myanmar. Had to ask for basics like tea bags (also par for course for Myanmar where it is assumed you want coffee).”
