In spite of few shortcomings, one just falls in love with this place....the rooms are very large, decorated with chic Burmese artefacts. In some ways it reminds me of some top African lodges. Wood flooring in the rooms, shower floor  is tiled with modern black non slip tiles, walls in rough beige stone. The shower gel, shampoo and body lotion were in largish containers which did not respond to pumping, reported to staff, sorted. There seems to be a miniscule basket with sewing kit and something tiny which could have hidden cotton buds... Not nice , easily remedied.  Curtains needed cleaning.  Bed was good and pillows fine. I did not like their complimentary water. Pone only bottle only per room. It is served in those bottles with rubber seal and metal wire. This means that they refill it from their purified water source... Since water is not safe to drink chances are that the bottle was refilled with good water but handled and washed with unsafe water. In the main hotel building they use polished cement as flooring and staircase to the restaurant. Restaurant is well laid out and the chef is excellent. The service staff is a bit lost. They congregate next to the kitchen door and seem to be looking at the restaurant but amazingly manage not to see a thing. The table covers are generally not up,to standard. You find previous people's food stains awaiting you when you are seated. Like in most places in  Myanmar and Vietnam your clean forks and knives are put on the dirty tablecloth ... They are slow clearing and taking orders. But - having said that - the food is really great and when it arrives on a big wooden serving dish  ( also sometimes not quite clean) it is a real treat.. GM is there all the time and very receptive. If anything is not right, once pointed out it gets quickly fixed. There is free WiFi...but it is so slow that in fact you do not have it. If you cannot live without connectivity this place is not for you. So ...the overall experience, marvellous in spite all shortcomings.

Beautiful rooms on stilts, great artistic decor

Aungban is the main crossroad for roads to Kalaw, Loikaw, and Heho airport.  A small town noted for a large Pa-O market. View Point hotel (not to be confused with View Point on Inle Lake) is a non pretentious standard hotel in the middle of town. Very clean, comfortable rooms, excellent bedding, typical bathroom (i.e. open shower!). A very good breakfast (eggs, fied rice, etc) (no evening meals but a couple of simple restaurants just outside). Top marks for the staff, very welcoming and pleasant. The manager was charming, helpful and spoke excellent English. Unfortunately on the main road so somewhat noisy, but still a good place to stop overnight after a long day travelling. Nice view from the upper floor rooms.

A ne pas confondre - Avoid confusion, but good hotel on road to Loikaw

The hotel is one of the only eco lodges in the area - the rooms are nice and on a small inlet.  The food is very good compared to other restaurants in the area.  The location is very good, if you are interested in walking to the main town on Inle Lake, but it can be noisy during the day because it is located near the long boat pier.  Currently the boats do not run after sunset, so I found it quiet for sleeping. What I thought really made the hotel was the service.  They brought me a card and roses on Valentine's Day.

Great Location and Food

We just stopped off here for lunch on our way to Lake Inle. It's part of a hotel.  The dining room is on the first floor with a nice outdoor gallery. There is clean toilets & free WiFi.  The food we had was nicely presented and tasty, but nothing special.  Service was a bit hit and miss.

Adequate Lunch

This is about the hotel pictured here, View Point *in Aungban*, not the hotel at Inle Lake, 2 hours away, which most reviews here are about.
Stopped there on the way from inle lake to Kalaw, Yangon.
Hotel in center of town.
Manager very helpful and speaks good english. I asked for, and got,  a soft mattress, the standard ones are to hard for me, and extra blankets, it was December, cold nights. 
All staff nice and helpful.
Wifi in lobby, not in all rooms, good, slow or down.
Rooms at the street probably noisy. At the back I slept fine.
Hotel clean. The windows behind the mosquito screens were dusty in my room, situated in the grey building in main photo.
Buffet breakfast, fried rice/noodles, fried eggs, toast, butter, jam, tea, coffe.
If rate is above your budget, tell the manager, before looking further - maybe you get a discount  - there are not much other options.
