Budget
Grace Hotel I
114 nan myaing road. fans; hot water; private bath; us$5/15 single/double. a short walk little less than a km south of the clock tower, grace hotel i is threadbare but clean and is easily the place to relax in when in pyin u lwin on a budget. it has a nice garden, ideally suited for catching up on your journal or enjoying the meagre! breakfast provided. a nice, though nameless, nepali shack nearby provides quick and tasty 'daal bhaat,' and there are several restaurants a little further away including an interesting chinese one with private booths in the garden!
Grace Hotel II
46/48 lashio road. fans; shared/private bath; us$4-10. better kept than its sister hotel but it comes with all the noise associated with being on the old burma road. the noise starts early, so beware.
Golden Dream Hotel
Lashio road a couple of buildings from grace hotel ii. fans; shared/private bath; us$6-10. dirty, dark and does not provide sheets, along with grace hotel i one of the oldest hotels licenced for foreigners in pyin u lwin. buckets of hot water available on request. you have to deal with the noise though.
Midrange
Kandawgyi Lodge
Privately run to the extent that anything in Burma is privately run but partly lodged in a colonial bungalow, this is the upscale choice in Maymyo.
Sweety Land Hotel
Near the golf club and Botanical Gardens. A well equipped new hotel with satellite TV and popular with middle class citizens of Myanmar.
Pyin U Lwin has a few magnificent restored colonial houses for hotels. Unfortunately, almost all of these are run by the government. Candacraig, the place immortalised by Paul Theroux, is worth a visit but don't waste your money on a meal there.
