value. Closed for renovation every June.

; Kyaung Taw Anouk Rd; r $50-80; )
The rooms
here are simple but attractive, some boasting windows that let in lots of light and open-
feeling bathrooms attractively decked out with rocks. There are a few new bungalow-
type rooms, and when we stopped by, a new structure being built. The downside is that

Located near Mong
Li Canal a brief walk south from the centre of town, this place combines 12 wooden bun-

garden that boasts Nyaungshwe's only swimming pool, and looked after by friendly,

twin beds, while the more expensive rooms, in an adjacent building, are larger, and in-

form of nine new sturdy-feeling brick bungalows. Rooms are spacious and include TV,
fridge, safe and air-con, but not a whole lot of interior design or charm.
