The Heritage is honestly one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and they also speak great English. The building and the rooms are beautiful, as are the grounds.

A truly historic place in Kalaw. Great buildings and a very beautiful garden. Super friendly staff and great food and drinks. Compared to the overall status of the property, the rooms are pretty basic, though.

A short stay at Kalaw Heritage Hotel.

There was a very cold welcome to the property as if I should have felt privileged to be staying there. The rooms were nice but looked very clinical with white blank walls. The WiFi was truly shocking and so many guests complained about this. They turned the WiFi off during the night which is not good for when you need to make an early morning conference call. The restaurant felt very uninviting. The room was over lit and the service was of a low standard. The food served was poor and I got served a dish that was stale and spoilt, which was promptly returned to the kitchen. There is a settlement next door to the hotel and they were playing very loud music and chanting at 4am so it was a very restless night. The hotel has its own taxi service who charge you 3x the cost of a local taxi. Overall, I had high expectations of this hotel but was disappointed. Although the waiting staff were pleasant the managers were not. The food was very disappointing and overpriced.

Heavenly! Everything is great at this hotel! It is surrounded by the terrain of mountains and very cool as it is locqted so high up. The facade of the hotel is really iconic and truly a heritage hotel. The staff were very helpful and attentative. The rooms are very tastefully furnished with a few antique looking touches. If i really have to find any fault, suggest the hotel to look into the speed of the wifi and convert the tennis court into an alfresco dinning area as it is blessed with such a wonderful surrounding.

利用2日前に価格が下がったので予約しました。カロー到着直前に隣町のアウンバンで食事休憩が入り大雨になってしまいドライバーはビニルシートを掛けたのですがルーフトップの荷物がたっぷり水を含んでしまいました。 この宿では最低ランクの部屋でクローゼットがなく、濡れた衣類や紙類を干して広げるには不十分でした。部屋は空いているようでチェックインの際アップグレードできますかとは尋ねたのですが理解できなかったのかもしれません。レセプションの隣のラウンジにカローのタウンマップがあるが散歩には役立たなかった。見つけたのはチェックアウトの時。こういうのがあれば積極的に教えてほしい。 高地で気候がよくエアコンはありません。シーリングファンのスイッチがわからずベッドに乗って付いているひもを引っ張るとファンが稼働します。 タオルは二種。上質で清潔。気持ちがよい。

Terug naar de jaren 1930

Heel mooi gelegen op wandelafstand van stadje Kalow. Restaurants in de buurt. Goede kamers met badkamer. Hotel straalt oude glorie uit, je voelt je in de jaren 1930. Ontvangst en bediening bar prima in orde. Heel goed ontbijt maar ober is heel vriendelijk maar vergeetachtig, koffie was koud als de melk eindelijk gebracht werd.

Brilliant

For history buffs or those who love decaying colonial grandour, this is the place. Stunnning gardens, bespoke buildings, and great food nestled in the Kalaw Hills. Truly a spectacular, one of a kind place. Very clean with basic rooms that match the price point. We just loved it.

Impeccable colonial hotel

Beautiful colonial hotel with excellent service. While it appears recently renovated and is impeccably clean, there is something stiff about the furniture and not much space indoors or outdoors to relax in comfortably. It is perhaps in an effort to stay authentic to the history. You definitely need to visit the elephants while there!

Hôtel pittoresque avec un charme fou. On se croirait au temps de l’époque coloniale avec tout le confort moderne. Je ne comprends pas les commentaires négatifs, pour le prix payé, très raisonnable par rapport à ce qu’on a en Europe, c’est un voyage à lui seul que nous fait vivre cet hôtel.

Beautiful but noisy in month before water festival

The property was much more beautiful than expected, and was on an impressive piece of land, that is nicely landscaped. This hotel has a great legacy, having been founded in 1903, but it does mean creaky falls. But the downside really was the 24x7 chanting by monks in the area. This happens in the month before the water festival and can drive you crazy when trying to sleep at night. If you avoid this month, you would be very satisfied.
