BaobaBed Hostel Nyaung Shwe

Great place (good private room, rooftop is cool and amazing late check out room) BUT unfortunately we were kept awake until approx. 1am both nights of our stay with unbelievably loud guests (on the roof top and in the hallways) which was very frustrating and disappointing. Also, plan to get brekky elsewhere.

More of a hotel than a hostel! Lovely clean and large double room, good free coffee and breakfast, nice rooftop bar, good location and lovely staff. Couldn’t ask for more!

accommodation itself was perfectly OK, but their arrangement of bus-tour to Taunggyi was quite terrible. The bus driver told us the wrong meeting place, we were left over at 12:00 mid-night. Even though the responsible person of this bus-tour blamed us.

The staff were great. Could not have been more helpful and nice. Everything else is very good too.

Great Hostel. Stayed in the one they have in Bagan, which was even better, but this one I think actually has better facilities. The rooms and toilets are kept clean. They offer free bikes to use, which is great for exploring the local area as restaurants can be a bit of a walk. They also offer great services, if you need them, like local SIM card top ups and they can also book your bus to other towns and local boat tours, which is helpful. It’s very new so maybe not as social as some other hostels but they do organise free bike tours and other daily social events.
