This hotel has changed names but could do with a facelift. I stayed here for 3 nights on my own and the room was $50 per night. They were expecting 2 people as they asked me for the second passport. They didn' t drop the price ofcourse. I had what was call a luxery room (it was written on the... More

The hotel is changing its name to Bagan Umbra (Golden Express).The hotel is at a very good location on the road between Nyaung U and old Pagan, close to a few excellent (and reasonably-priced) restaurants. BREAKFAST IS AWESOME here (see below). I stayed here for three nights, in the cheapest rooms available. Those rooms were "burmese standard", or local standard... More

Great service. The staff will get you anything you need - taxi, bikes, airport link, mosquito spray. It's just that the rooms are a little tired, so not very welcoming and odd bathrooms. Good bedding, hot water always, fresh towels every day and a well-maintained pool.

I didn't book in advance (single) but they were able to find me a room ($30 per night). Decent sized room with 2 single beds. Working shower, accon and fridge. Pool is a godsend in the day, not stunning but in pretty good nic. The breakfast outside under parasols is very good and I heard people say it's the best... More

While already staying in Nyaung U we changed to this motel because is has a swimmingpool. The standaard room bungalow was really basic (no TV but which tourist wants to watch Myanmar TV anyway?) but the shower was hot and the airco cool, beds were clean and that's all that counts. Because the breakfastroom was used for a marriage we... More

We stayed here on the recommendation of someone we met on our travels and booked one of the $45 rooms. It was OK, nothing special and you can certainly get better value elsewhere in the town. It tends to get full of coach parties and so you can imagine breakfast time when it's like a feeding frenzy - best avoided.... More

This hotel is located outside of Old Bagan, and further from New Bagan. It's about a ten minute bike ride to Old Bagan on the main road. The staff here is very warm and welcoming. I was really impressed with the food. This was good-restaurant quality food. Delicious. The breakfast buffee was spectacular! Eggs to order, pancakes, fresh coffee/tea, toast,... More

Good hotel/guest house. reasonable priced, great location. Clean rooms, everything you need including a fridge. Staff were really helpful, they sorted out all our onward travel e.g. made many phone calls on our behalf, they could not do enough for us. Breakfast staff were very helpful, friendly and ensured we were well looked after - breakfast outside on the lawn... More

It was cheap, and the best value we found while in Myanmar for three weeks. I loved the pool after cycling around. The staff were helpful. The room was spacious. We had a corner room. Remember if you are used to staying in 5 star accomodation than this is not that. this is Myanmar accomodation. We found it well sighted... More
