Looking more like a Western motel than any of the other guesthouses in town, Loikaw Friendship Guesthouse sits on the river and offers many very well kept and clean rooms. Expect basic furnishing with air-con, satellite TV and private bathrooms with bathtubs and hot and cold water. The woman who runs the place is kind and considerate and may even lend you a bicycle if you ask politely. The... Read our full review of Loikaw Friendship Guesthouse.
The kitschy Hotel Loikaw is going to be the fanciest place you’ll find in Loikaw. Tailored to tourists (picture local tribe-wear as costumes to try on), breakfast is included along with rooms boasting air-con, minibar, satellite TV, phone and private bathrooms with hot and cold water. Services include car rentals, local guides, laundry, car parking, and a business centre. They have an on-site... Read our full review of Hotel Loikaw.

Relatively new Loikaw Princess Guesthouse boasts friendly staff and good rooms, all wrapped up in a red-roofed baby blue motel like building. Offerings are perhaps a little basic but come with clean beds, air-con, satellite TV and private bathrooms with hot and cold water. Breakfast is included and at the time of research it seems they’re about to expand their services. The location is close to... Read our full review of Loikaw Princess Guesthouse.
The bright purple Moon Joy has the cheapest prices for rooms in Loikaw. The location is decent, just across from Loikaw City Restaurant and a walk from the main lake. Rooms aren’t the cleanest and the beds and towels could use an extra washing but they offer a surprising number of services and features including WiFi, air-con, TV, minibar, tea and coffee and hot and cold showers. Do be careful... Read our full review of Moon Joy.
Nawaday Motel is a decent and well kept hotel sitting just off the main road in town. It’s located away from the centre of town, near a KKS cafe on the main street, which is handy for a food and WiFi option, and it’s not too far of a walk from the sights. Rooms offer the basic furnishings, air-con and are clean with hot and cold water bathrooms. Many locals also stay here so you’ll have to... Read our full review of Nawaday Motel.

Min Ma Haw is one of the more well known guesthouses in Loikaw. Located in the middle of town but surrounded by foliage, this somewhat charming wooden guesthouse has an attractive vibe and is quieter than you would expect. Rooms start with bare basics and shared bathrooms, while fancier rooms are available at a price if you want breakfast included and other options like old box style satellite...

Nan Ayar Inn is a small minty-blue/green single storey guesthouse offering bare basic fare with not too much charm. The staff are friendly but offer few services, though the rooms are clean-ish with basic furniture. It’s cleaner and more accommodating than Moon Joy but you will also pay a little more for it. You might consider treating yourself to another guesthouse if you’re not on a strict... Read our full review of Nan Ayar Inn.
