MOSQUITOES!!!
We booked this hotel for one night (after travelling from Mandalay by bus) just wanted to check out the area before we booked our next four nights in Bagan. Checkin was quick & easy but the room was full of mosquitoes. We always travel with mosquito coils & promptly lit two (one in the bedroom & one in bathroom) headed across the road to check out the Pagoda & local area, which was quite good & only an easy 5-10 minute walk to Restaurant St. on return to our room we still encountered mosquitoes. Bed was comfortable, shower good & hot. Breakfast next morning was more than adequate with a lot of western options, but again mosquitoes everywhere in the outdoor dining area. This charm of this hotel was its lovely gardens but unfortunately that also meant a lot of water laying around which obviously caused the mosquito problem. We checked out straight after breakfast & moved to the Thante Hotel which was approximately 20 min walk away ( so glad we did the Thante was outstanding!!!)

Nice comfortable guesthouse.
This guesthouse was very nice and comfortable. The wifi was limited to the reception area, which was disappointing. Breakfast was limited in options - no fruit or yoghurt, only white bread, fried eggs only that were very undercooked. There were plenty of more traditional local options however. Bicycle hire was convenient for visiting the temples, but the bikes were in poor repair and quite uncomfortable to ride, but at least they worked. Staff were helpful and friendly and helped me with booking a taxi to the airport.

great stay
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, much has to do with the friendly staff - special mention goes to Thu Zur, who did a brilliant job at reception. Bagan is amazing and the hotel is right in front of Schwezigon Paya which looks awesome from the reception area (where wifi is available) especially when lit up at night. The hotel provides bicycles and e-bike at a decent price (the ebike is definitely worth hiring - so fun and great for riding to the landmarks. Buffet breakfast includes a variety of asian and western dishes - delicious! The room was spacious and comfortable and I definitely recommend this hotel - more suited to couples/friends than solo backpackers though since its a bit far from New Bagan (where a few hostels/ guest houses are).

nightmare in Bagan
We had to pay for the WI-Fi access. Then we can only used it at receptionist lobby. The room was full of mosquitos. Dark and depressing. Again, there were no clothing rack. The concrete floor with dirt ...I can tell more but i don't want to scare all tourists away. Just don't go to that motel. The management is very stingy with room accomodation.

Uninspiring
very basic hotel with no amenities. With one notable exception (who was lovely) the hotel staff were entirely unhelpful (to the extent that they took so long sorting out the rental of the decrepit e-bikes that we missed the dawn we had dragged ourselves out of bed for!) Refused to allow early check in when we arrived by overnight bus (the only hotel in Myanmar at which we experienced this), so be aware if this is how you will be arriving. Location is a little inconvenient but this can be easily overcome on the e-bikes. honestly can't say this hotel has anything to recommend it and certainly would not stay there again.

Stay miles away from Aung Mingalar !
1) The rooms are far smaller than whats shown on the web site.. and have an open bathroom....there is a distinct stink of sewerage in the room...which makes staying in the room unbearable.. 2) The breakfast served is cold....and hardly anyone to attend to you during breakfast.... 3) Except for one person most of the staff just look blank and cant communicate in English. This was the worst hotel we stayed in Myanmar...the rooms were over priced....and we found far better rooms at half the price elsewhere... 4) There is no wifi in the rooms... Unlike other hotels...they are very professional and charge you for just about everything....even the wifi...and if you ask them to call a local number and help you they even charge 300 Kyats for that ! 5) They even charge you for an early check in and a late check out which no other hotel charged in Myanmar..Most buses in Myanmar arrive at 6 am...and hence hotels are used to people checking in early... 5) The worst is the loud sound of festival and prayers from the Pagoda across the road which go on all night ! We could not get a wink of sleep because of the loud music and sound from the pagoda . No other hotel in Bagan has this problem..it was like staying in a marketplace... ! Expedia should not list this property...and should make customers aware of such pathetic room conditions

Clean, Comfortable, and Helpful Staff
I arrived in the morning by night bus and the hotel staff pleasant and accommodating and allowed me to check in early. The hotel staff also organised a motorbike to rent for the day. Rooms were good size and clean and neat. The buffet breakfast had a good mix of different local foods and fruits. The was a small problem with the water but was quickly fixed and for the inconvenience they offered me a late checkout at 6:30pm when my night bus was picking me up so I didn't have to worry about packing up and checking out until I had to leave which was great. Can't say enough about how helpful the staff was and about there knowledge and tips for visiting all the different places in Bagan.

This is an average hotel. The staff are helpful. In general the hotel I would say the hotel is totally fine to stay at. Bathrooms okay, and relatively clean rooms. Everything also works. The breakfast was not good however. But overall a place I could recommend to stay at.

A eviter / To avoid
I am disappointed with my stay in this hotel. Positive experience : The hotel itself was nice and quiet. The room itself was ok, not perfectly neat but they claim they don't use hard chemicals for cleaning to protect the soil. It's an effort I appreciate even if it means minor stains on the linen. Bellhops, cleaning and dining staff were very kind and friendly even if they can't speak english. We arrived by night bus at 4am so we booked for 2 nights including night of arrival to make sure we would have a room. Checkin was smooth. Negative experience : The next morning we rented bikes (2500kyat each). I ripped my pants with the bike because of a sharp metal piece. We went back to change it, and decided to upgrade to an ebike (electric scooter). Despite a 20cm rip in my pants that I had to throw away, they still charged us for the upgrade, and wanted to charge an extra fee because we were gonna use 1 ebike for 2 (10000 instead of 8000 for a single user). We still bought our bus tickets thru them and rented another ebike the next day. In the evening they offered we can take a shower while waiting for the bus pickup. I asked for a towel but they wanted to charge 5USD for each towel. With all our spending, one would expect they would be a little considerate and provide a complimentary towel, even one only for the two of us. But no. I didn't feel like a guest in this hotel, rather like a living wallet. It didn't happen anywhere else in Myanmar.

大きなホテルではあるが、雨季・酷暑の時期で客が少なかったためか、とても良い対応だった。wi-fiは管理棟とその廻りしか通じなかったが、「管理棟でどうぞ」と丁寧に招き入れてくれた。 朝食がかなり貧弱だった。これもまた客が少ないためかも？ 部屋は広くて快適だった。

Nice hotel in a good location
+big room, bike rental for 2000 kyats/day (really recommend to use them to go to the pagodas, market etc), sun beds in the front yard, worth the money -the shower is good but takes a while to get the right temperature, the breakfast was really nice but unfortunately cold so the best is to go there early in the morning I think, extra charge for the Internet (not expensive but still..)
