Poor value for money for overnight star and dining
We choose this hotel as a treat on our stay but it was a huge disappointment. The condition of the rooms is not as shown in the pictures. Overall, the biggest minus was really the price. Everything in Myanmar is rather cheap but this hotel was more expensive than a 5 star luxury hotel in Yangon. Thus, we expected it to be of same standard but it turned out to be a complete rip off! The rooms itself were alright but buying anything at the hotel was approximately 10 times more expensive than buying it at any restaurant in the area. Views are beautiful and the pool area was as well so overall our review is based on very poor value for money

Loved the fact it was a private chalet (although attached to another) and spacious with an amazing view from the pool of the Irrawady river. Breakfast was good too. Could have done with a mosquito net over the bed and for some reason the air con in our room was nowhere near the bed.

The Only Place To Consider Staying In Bagan
This is the best place to stay RIGHT on the river. The restaurants and bar over looks the pool and to to river looking west. Which meant the most amazing sunsets in the evening. Together with the 2 hr happy happy made a perfect evening followed by dinner. The tomato and peanut Burmese salad was great! We stayed in a deluxe river view room And worth the extra to stay there. The staff were always super friendly and only too happy to help with anything. They had their own ebikes to hire which is the best way to see and get around the many temples. As the resort is off the roads you don’t hear traffic and that ever present horn honking all the drivers do!! If I was to go back to Bagan again this is where I would stay again. Really consider this place to base yourself as you explore Bagan - oh and make sure you book a hot air balloon ride. That was stunning and breath takingly beautiful!!

Great view, room dated and breakfast is disapointi
Hotel has a great view, very nice pool and the staff is very friendly. Breakfast is very basic and dishes tasteless and not limited choice, had some Croissants that had mold inside. Aircon in the assigned room did not work and needed repair, it took the team about and our to try to fix it with no luck and i then requested to move to another room.This could have been offered earlier as we traveled as a family and our child needed to sleep. Over all nice hotel but rooms are a bit dated.

Beautiful Bagan
It is a bit remote and nowhere near any restaurants for the evenings. Taxis are not easy to get and the hotel wants $15 everytime you wish to go out if not more. Spa/shop and restaurant are all expensive in comparison with outside. The hotel arranged a first class guide for us - Han was excellent. Also make sure you ask for a room overlooking the river - it is lovely. The pool area is nice but the sunbed cushions need replacing. Apart from that the place is a little bit of heaven!

Great location and amazingly helpful staff
This is a lovely hotel set in gardens on the riverbank. I booked a standard room which turned out to be a suite with its own sun-terrace. Good food at reasonable prices - but what really stood out was on my final night I had an email from my airline changing my flight times and the new times gave me a huge problem. The travel agent couldn’t do anything - but when I told reception (at 7pm) they had an alternative flight fixed within 15 minutes and the ticket was delivered to the hotel within an hour for a flight at 11am the next morning. The a couldn’t have been more helpful and I really appreciated it. Thank you!!

Great pool, so so room, overpriced food and drink.
We stayed here 4 nights in January. We booked this hotel specifically because it had a nice pool area where we could lounge in the heat of the day. Pool area is very nice as is the pool and it has great views across the river. The public areas of the hotel are all in good shape however the “cabins (4-plexes)” were quite dated and this was especially evident in the bathrooms. The service was very good and the staff were very pleasant whenever we dealt with them. The hotel is in walking distance of a good number of temples and you can also rent an e-bike for 5000 @ 4 hrs. Although the hotel was convenient for the temples there was nowhere else to eat within walking distance. We had dinner at the hotel the first night and were very disappointed with the quality and quantity relative to the price. ($16 for a chicken leg and a few vegetables, no rice, potato, bread or anything. We never had dinner there again but did order off the bar menu which is more reasonable. You can catch a taxi or horse buggy to the Hotel at Tharabar Gate for about 4,000 one way. Fairer prices, larger menu and much better food. The other issue is the hotel is a bit remote and you need a taxi to go anywhere. Taxis don’t hang out at the hotel and the hotel won’t call one for you, you have to use the hotel taxi which is 2+ times the normal rate.
