Find Hotels in Bago, Myanmar

I stayed at Han Thar Gardens with my wife and infant son in August 2015. It was low season, so we were automatically upgraded to a deluxe room. The hotel's restaurant and lounge areas are spacious, relaxing, and comfortable - perfect for a day of reading and relaxing with a drink while watching the monsoon rains. The pool is small but inviting, good for a dip but not for any lap swimming. The rooms are comfortable. The staff is very attentive and speaks excellent English, and the food is incredible and very reasonably priced. My only caution to sightseers is that you probably won't ever have the chance to see Bago because you won't want to leave the hotel grounds.

One day wasn't enough. I was recommended to do a day trip to bago but I decided to book a hotel for one night stay. It was such a relaxing place that one day trip was very short. I was planning to explore around the town but end up at the hotel half of the day due to heavy rain but during my trip to Myanmar , that was the most relaxing day. The hotel is far enough from the busy & noisy city centre yet all the attractions I went are like 10 mins away. Transportation is easily available as the motorbike taxi stand is just outside the hotel plus the hotel provides free transportation to the main road. The food was great esp the Burmese traditional tea leaves salad which I recommend to try . All staff are very helpful and always at your service. The manager speaks English well so I was able to get alot of information from him. I will def go there again.

The wetlands are really calm and beautiful at sunrise and sunset. Apart from the boat tour there's not much to do, so if you want to get out of the crazy Yangon traffic, this is the place to be: No TV, no free Wifi - bring a good book or board games. Food is good, plentiful, and service is fast. Rooms are basic; the boat bungalows are overpriced in my opinion, though they have been recently repainted. Mosquito nets provided. Maintenance needed to replace broken boards on the walkways. The foreigner price for boat tour is too much: $15 per person (without a guide), though we enjoyed the early morning trip to the wetlands, watching the sun rise with only the sound of birds (and boat engine). Improved English would be a big help, though we did manage to communicate :)

We were welcomed at 4am and they gave us a room without charging us. Little room but comfy with good AC. Very good shower. Free hot/cold water to drink. Best breakfast in Myanmar so far (3 weeks). Location OK as no real center in Bago, not far from bus station. Cheap beer ans complimentary peanuts. Everyone very nice. Watchout: there's a guy ( red face with lots of spots) whose business card reads "Sea Sar" that owns a tourism agency in the bus station. He waits for every tourist bus and accompanies you to your hotel (which is nice, the bus stopped just in front of ours thanks to him). Then he tries to sell you tours, which are not bad value, but we ended paying a little more (12000Ks instead of 10000Ks) because the price agreed with us was different from the one told to the driver in Burmese. Also sells overpriced bus tickets.

Just like any hotels in Myanmar now, you would feel the hotel is overpriced if you have been travelling in other parts of South East Asia. I would only pay for 600 THB for a hotel like this if it were in a small town a few hours drive away from Bangkok. The staff was very nice when they still served me breakfast after the time was over. The room was clean although the facilities were getting old. The hotel is located about 5 minute motorbike ride from the town centre. There isn't much in the centre anyway apart from traffic noise so being in the middle of nowhere did not bother me much. There are a few motorbike taxies stationed at the hotel who will offer you to take you around. A lot of travelers skip Bago on their way to the Golden Rock from Yangon. I would say the town is worth a visit for a day unless you are in a hurry. There are things to see.

the hotel was misleading in its lication about 10 k from town but could not help us get transport to town. breakfast invluded 1 cup of coffe and rice noodles or a cold sandwich of ubcooked vegetables. They did arrange a guide but very expensive anf did not speak English. I could go on and on just do not stay here. it is as if they have nevet seen or beem to a hotel. The staff tried hard but the sh

Jade garden was acceptable for a one night stay. It is located on a quiet side street. Office staff had limited English and was able to book our onward travel arrangements. Walls need to be cleaned or repainted. WiFi and hot water were good. Probably overpriced for what we got. Breakfast was minimal and we were given what they considered an American breakfast. Not to my liking.
