Welcome at Akimono was lackluster. We had to carry our bags from our car into reception before we were met by staff. From that point on the welcome was warm and effusive. I always appreciate th warm greeting which is typical in Myanmar.
The room itself was very simple but adequate. Because of the grounds and surroundings in Pyin Oo Lwin, there were a few creepy crawlies, but nothing too awful.
Breakfast was the most disappointing. They were very few options and the presentation was not great.
The grounds of the hotel we're covered with beautiful few fruit trees. There were a jackfruit, rambutan, lychee, and even peaches! This was a lot of fun and made for a really cool exploring on the territory.
I understand that the hotel has a Japanese theme. Unfortunately it gives a survey of bifurcated personality to the hotel. The staff, architecture, and overall feel of the place was definitely local. But there is a Japanese restaurant (which we did not try) and a sort of half hearted Japanese garden.
Would we stay here again? Probably not. If there were nothing else available then I would. But I would not go out of my way to book a room here again.
