Charming old world ambience
This is a charming place to stay. Excellent value for money, nice pool, good food. The bedrooms are quite dated but large and comfortable, parquet flooring and bespoke 1950’s colonial furniture is lovely but can be less insulated so noisy neighbours could be an issue.

Beautiful but fading
We've stayed at Inya Lake many times over the years, and the lovely grounds, the clean swimming pool, and the balconies for every room have been the draw to come back. This time, our room was not cleaned all day and even after asking for it to be done before going to dinner, we returned to find it still not cleaned. A subsequent request for towels and water had to be made twice. The balcony offered one chair - no table, no seating for a second person. No usable outlets anywhere near the bed. Stains on the corridor carpet. Feels like a place that is coasting on the past; as many other reviews have noted, it needs refurbishment. A little attention would go a long way - this doesn't need to become a clone of the big international hotels, but some basics seem to be forgotten. The rooms are spacious though, and the pool and grounds are still beautiful. Staying here again will depend on overlooking the lack of attention to details and the haphazard service.

The hotel is in a great location (except for the convention facility in front), and the staff is great but it is in dire need of updating. When i stayed here 20 years ago, it was a deluxe property, however, it doesn't look like any care has been made since that time.

Nice hotel in beautiful location
This is second time we have stayed in this hotel and were happy that we did. Hotel is in beautiful and quiet location by a lake. Room is spacious and comfortable although looking a little tired. Nevertheless, room service was excellent and we always returned to a clean room and were provided with new clean towels and new bottles of water daily. Staff very friendly and helpful. Excellent choices given for breakfast.

Hotel with a lovely walk by the lake
The hotel offers a wonderful breakfast buffet spread and there is also a lovely walk around Inya Lake. Service from hotel staff (front-desk, restaurant, concierge, etc) was excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Excellent hotel, almost perfect
Excellent hotel that feels like a resort. Huge pool, beautiful area around the property, super friendly and helpful staff, spectacular breakfast (the best hotel breakfast I have ever had, and I travel a lot), surprisingly good and stable internet, spacious room & balcony, good value. The only negative thing to mention would be the lack of maintenance in the building, with a few pealing out carpets and wall painting around, but it is not a big deal, it is just the feel of worn out. If they do some small refurnishing, this hotel would definitely deserve 10 out of 10. We loved our week there and we would certainly stay there again.

Inya Lake hotel has great grounds, right by the lake. The staff is very attentive. The rooms are in need of a makeover. They are getting a bit old. They have all the basics and a nice bathroom. The food is good.

Spacious and quiet for a good rest after a day out. Gym is well kept. very good breakfast and stay is value for money. However, smell from the fresh coat of paint they are painting on the corridors was a bit unpleasant but did not seep into the room.

Lovely grounds and excellent service
This hotel has a lovely atmosphere and extremely good service. It is a taxi ride from Yangon shopping districts but if you are interested in a beautiful natural setting and a comfortable hotel, Lake Inya is an excellent choice.

Beautiful hotel on the lake
I really enjoyed staying at the Inya Lake Hotel. This is an older hotel with a colonial/Myanmar culture atmosphere, beautiful gardens and swimming pool right on Inya Lake. The rooms were big and well appointed and the ensuite was large, clean and luxurious and in keeping with the ambiance. The balcony was great for watching the sunset. The wi-fi was good which is not always the case in Myanmar at the moment. Breakfast was buffet style covering the cuisine of many nationalities, and the food was very good. Nice and relaxing on the edge of Yangon. A taxi to the city costs 5000 kyats and 7000 to the airport. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Spacious hotel in quiet secluded area. Great views
Air conditioning very noisy, making sleep difficult. Deep bath had no grab handles at all - danger of slipping when getting in or out. 'Hot' water was only warm most of the time. Very little pressure in the shower. Bathroom needs upgrading generally. Room cleaning and laundry service both excellent.

Wooden floor are very old & needs to upgrade the floor.While I stayed there I experienced black color water came out when I open basin water tap & maintenance guy flushed out the system by leave opening the faucet about an hour to get clean water. I booked on line through Expedia including breakfast meal but they refused to provide it. I don't know whose fault it is, Expedia or the hotel?

Isolated Hotel
Reasonable enough hotel although very dated and simple facilities. Main problem is that it is in the middle of the lake and there is nothing to do once your boatman leaves you. Even if you hire another boat, it is a long way back to any town. Restaurant was very ordinary. Fine for one night only as it makes a good base for lake day tour. But don't stay longer.

Tranquil setting amidst Asian urban busyness
While the building and furnishings are antique and physically worn a bit, the room was adequate, yet the service, dining room, pool, tennis courts, and expansive yards on the lake were first class. The hotel seems to almost daily host classy conferences or weddings which can add some "noise pollution" for several hours, overall they are not too intrusive into the tranquil environment.

An Oasis near Yangon.
The Inya Lake Hotel is in delightful grounds outside Yangon,and is very convenient for the airport.It seems an excellent hotel for business users,but is a little too far out for those wishing to see the city.Excellent breakfast.
