The customer is first at the Hotel Emperor
Incredible hotel with great customer service. They will bend over backwards to help you with any travel-related needs, whether it be to make your bookings, giving you directions, help you recover forgotten items, and help you form tour groups to save on private boat rides, taxis, etc. Other hotels will not help you with that because the more tours they book, the more commission they make. Rooms were clean, AC was cold, shower was hot, and wifi was decent which is about the best you can hope for in Inle. The location was also excellent, as it's a short, easy walk to the JJ Express and many great restaurants. Of all the places I stayed in Myanmar, this was by far my favorite. On the last day I was short on both cash and time, and so the concierge even took me to the ATM so I would not miss my bus!
I had stayed at Golden Fish previously and it was a big disaster, so I moved to the Hotel Emperor. Despite it being a little higher in price, my only regret was that I didn't do it sooner.
