Find hotels in Nyaung-U

The hotel has a resort feel and is really beautiful. The room and furnitures are spacious and tasteful (the bed is especially spacious). The private balcony is a nice place to sit in. Breakfast spread was fine. The staff are really nice, friendly, and helpful. Hotel is in the outskirts of Nyaung-U, and you can borrow their bicycle (for free) to cycle a short distance to town for meals (some nice trip-advisor recommended restaurants there) and to rent an e-bike (or you could rent e-bike from the hotel too). Old Bagan is a short e-bike ride away, and there are many temples along the way. The only problem would be that the water from the shower tends to overflow onto the bathroom floor, though that is a minor issue. All in all, highly reccomended place to stay in Bagan!

Staff/ Service: Good english, very helpful and professional, amazingly quick room service in terms of laundry, ironing, etc. Location: There are three possibilities to stay in Bagan: Nyaung-U , Old Bagan and New Bagan. Zfreeti Hotel is in Nyaung-U, which is close to the seeport, the airport, balloon starting point - we were very happy with it. There are restaurants around, but we actually very much liked the Hotel Restaurant (expensive compared to street but cheap compared to Europe, very tasty and absolutely convenient after a long day full of pagodas). We would not recommend to stay at a hotel in New Bagan, since they are mostly not located in the village itself but further outside! Breakfast: very good (but do it quick - the light in the morning is the best for spending time at temples. Tips for Bagan: The best time to drive around the temples is between 6-10am and 3-5:30pm - amazing light! Lunch break at the pool or exploring the big pagodas from inside. We recommend to take the ebikes/roller close to the Hotel for 9000Kyat/day for 2 pers. For beautiful sunrise Bulethi temple (however rather steep) or at the Shwe Nan Yin Taw Complex (which is very beatiful). Both are quickly reachable from Zfreeti. We booked the balloons month in advance, which was good.

Don’t book the standard room, it’s on the basement and there is no fan in the bathroom so it smells very bad, we checked 2 rooms. Not great. But the manager is a champion! He was very apologetic and moved us to a better room upstairs which was very nice. All the staff here are amazing and friendly. They work hard, literally they were there all the time. Location is nice, near the airport, with good views over the Bagan plain from the rooftop. Was about 15 minutes by e-bike to Old Bagan. Not far from good restaurants in Nyaung-U. We ate at the rooftop restaurant on the first night, food was good but they were fully booked so it took 45 minutes to arrive. Overall good value stay, we would stay again, but avoid booking a standard room.

The hotel was all in all nice - the pool is chilly, it is not noisy there (just a little bit of the birds if you stay in the upper level). they have some e-bikes (motorcycle) for rent for half day (10'000) and full day (20'000). They run about 30-40km per hour but we had not the best one (number 8): we went to old bagan and then new bagan and from there to the hotel - then the battery was down and it was just possible to go very slow... we loaded our e-bike for about one hour and would to go to nyaung u - but there the battery was that down that the e-bike didn't move anymore. we called the hotel and them send us 2 e-bikes to change. it was a good service but we're a little bit angry about that and in the hotel they didn't said anything about that mistake.. The most bycicles are very very old - i don't know why the don't oil them a little bit and repair them. we had 2 old ones and they're good enough to go to nyaung u to eat. (If you wanna have a really good pizza you have to go in nyaung u ca. 300m in the centre and then on the right side). The beds were a little hard but we slept good - the personal is very nice! they organized us the jj express to inle lake - the depart was at 0830 am but nobody told us the bus comes at 0730 to pick us up... so we were a little bit in hurry at the breakfast... ;-) the personal speaks good english - thats not normal in myanmar all in all it was a nice hotel with some weird little mistakes

premises looked dated but this seems to be norm for Bagan hotels. Service is great, immediate response for service requested. Mr Myint at the restaurant/bar is a good manager. Food is average by international standard but not bad compared to roadside restaurants in town, including the one on the 9F at the observatory tower nearby. U cant compare this to an Aman in Bali but it has its own style. we were unfortunaely affected by a very arrogant and noisy group from Fudan University EMBA programme students and staffs who stormed the pool in a peaceful evening. a long table of drunk men and women singing loudly and refused to subside after repeat warning by hotel staffs and othet guests, some of which had to return room for room service to finish their dinner.

Conveniently located by the Tharabar Gate, The Hotel @ Tharabar Gate was a great choice for our stay in Bagan. We stayed for 2 nights and would be happy to return for my future trip. A few highlights: 1) The hotel has arguably the best location to explore Bagan - it's pretty much at the central point in between Nyaung U and New Bagan and close to the several major temples (Thatbyinnyu, Dhammayangyi, Sulmani, Ananda, Htilominlo, to name a few). Many temples are within walking distance and easily reachable with a bike ride. 2) The hotel/resort is nicely laid out, all rooms have individual private garden (small but nice) and the room itself is spacious. The decoration (with a lot of wood and natural colours) gives a great sense of relaxation. 3) Service was great - both the front desk staff and staff we had during the turn-down service were friendly and helpful. 4) Wifi connection at the lobby was one of the best I had in Burma. Connection from the room however can be sometimes tricky. 5) Breakfast was great with an egg/pancake/waffle station; you can choose to sit under the trees by the pool. 6) There is a bike rental shop right outside the hotel where you can rent the bike at a slightly cheaper rate than what the hotel charges you (USD 5 for a day). There are also a couple of restaurants and stores nearby within walking distance. Overall - love the location and charm of this hotel. I would recommend it to my other friends visiting Bagan.

The hotel is located along Anawrahta Road in Nyaung-U Bagan, very near Nyaung-U Jetty if you are going to take the river cruise to Mandalay. The breakfast is great also and the location is very nice specially if you want to stay in a quiet place with a pool. There are some stores, restaurants and bike rentals near the hotel and it is safe to stroll along the street even late at night. The only thing I noticed is that they don't have a lift just incase your room is located at higher floor you need to take the stairs thought their bellboys will be there to assists you. But sometimes they do lack some staff specially during early morning where there is only one receptionists to assists you and there were a lot of guests checking in. Still, I really had a good stay in this hotel.

Lovely hotel close within walking distance to Old Bagan. The staff are very professional, very friendly - always greeted with a good morning/afternoon/evening. Assisted many times with taxi's and the bus back to Mandalay. The rooms were splendid, very clean when we arrived first day and were cleaned on request. Showers and air conditioning were fine, no issues at all. I ate in the restaurant on 3 separate occasions and chatted with the stand in manager, who told me a bit of history surrounding the hotel and his journey into the hospitality business. The food was great by the way. Overall a very satisfying stay and would certainly stay agin if i returned to Bagan. For your info the fare into New Bagan is about £2.20p and takes about 20 minutes.

Shwe Na Di Guest House is a good option to stay in Bagan. It's location is very central in Nyaung U, which is the cheaper (backpacker) town next to the archaeological sites. The staff is very kind and helpful, especially with organizing tours and transport or explaining the area. The breakfast offers a very nice variety off local food, as well as eggs and toast and you can hire an ebike oder bicycle from there as well. Nice restaurants are nearby (max 10min walk) and little shops are across the street. The cons are a very poor water pressure and changing temperatures in the shower and the bathroom looked rather simple, anyway. Don't expect a frequent good wifi connection, as you share with a few dozen of other guests. Other than that: stay there and enjoy Bagan.

Highly recommended! Owner and staff friendly, kind and very helpful Location is great, probably a bit far from the temples for some people but perfect for me as I'd been around Bagan already and needed a day to relax. Free shuttle to Nyaung U <-> hotel. Nice pool, very refreshing in hot afternoons. Room is big and very clean. Late check-out available Breakfast was plentiful and food, dinner as well although a bit on the expensive side. One small negative point: some people far from the hotel listening to loud music in the evening

we had great days in bagan because of the incredible bagan lotus hotel. it's out of bagan or nyaung u but it is the best plce. great outdoor area with pool and fitness studio next to it.there's a bar with happy hours as well! our room was perfect with comfy beds, aircon, room service, drinks in the fridge, super nice bathroom with nice toilet articles like shampoo, lotion, ...The staff was lovely and soo helpful. the breakfast was delicious and a lot because it is a buffet with coffe, juice, bread, fruit, ric, soup and anything you want to have. we rented an e-scooter twice which was great to explore the bagan temples and old bagan, new bagan and nyaung u. perfect stay, want to go back if we come back one day! they even booked our bus to yangon!

This is an old hotel that is being renovated. First impression is not great as the old reception (that is no longer) used is still standing and looks very dated. New reception is at side of hotel. Our room was newly renovated with newly tiled bathroom, newly decorated bedroom and new a/c unit. Hotel is great value for Bagan. It's directly across from main Pagoda in Bagan (Nyaung U). Monks chant continuously which is quite atmospheric although it could get annoying for some people. Less atmospheric is road and market noise. However, hotel is close to bus station and good selection of hotels of hotels in Nyaung U (Bagan).

This hotel was in Nyaung-U which is closer to the airport than Old Bagan and New Bagan meaning a taxi was only 5000K. Although there is a large concentration of temples in Old Bagan, they are literally everywhere and the better ones are not inside the gate. So where you stay is not so important. The hotel helped us get electronic bikes from outside the entrance (make sure you get a newer one). Seems lazy but the historical site is so huge and sandy that a bicycle becomes a chore. The breakfast was good but the juice was gloopy. The bread was sweet which I hate and found other bread around town which was not so there was no excuse. Coffee was very good. The staff were absolutely lovely and so helpful. Couldn't ask for anything more there. The map they gave us of Bagan was a great help but not always correct or easy to follow. They arranged a great taxi driver with very good English to take us to Mount Popa and the airport the next day. The hotel is located walking distance to good bars and restaurants although when we wanted to go into Old Bagan area for variety it did take a while on bicycle. That's why it's a lot cheaper I suppose. There was too much to do to use the pool but it looked nice but didn't seem to get much sun throughout the day. Good size though.

Location: it is in a quiet corner, 5 minutes from a street of restaurant in Nyaung U. Nearby there, one can start finding temples or sunset visit to visit (e.g. Buleti temple). To get to New or Old Bagan, one can either cycle or rent a e-bike. The archaeological zone is pretty huge so it is not recommended to walk if you want to visit many temples especially under a hot sun. Service: excellent service! Miss Ee speaks fluent English, make sure i learnt my e-bike skills before I took off. She also offered me a shower after I checked out for a overnight bus ride- very dedicated services. Zein offers direct booking with bus companies with standard prices, so you don't have to worry spending more for less. And breakfast was great with toast, pancakes & local noodles. Definitely recommended !

I really happy staying here. The owner are very helpful, very nice, also the staff. Thet help us for rent the e-bike, they also give us free map and show us the best place for enjoying sunset and sunrise. And also, they provide us free mineral water bottle if we need more. The location also amazing, located in Nyaung U, close to almost temples in Bagan, also close to many place to eat cheap, and also the market. I also want to say that it's better to stay in Nyaung U than in New Bagan. The breakfast also very good, they give us 2 choice, rice or bread, both are very good.. Surely will stay here again if we visit Bagan next time, and will recommend this place to our friends. Anyway, thank you...

It's part of our honeymoon trip and Bagan Emerald hotel gave us their utmost service! Room was beautifully decorated and it's a big room too! We both love to stay there! It's very memorial. Just that we didn't stay there for long due to our other pre-planned honeymoon activities... if not, will definally stay there longer.. location - it is far far faaaaar from Bagan. But, it doesn't matter to us since we're out for siteseeing and worshipping pagodas... Overall, it indeed is a great hotel... u won't regret staying there!

This is a nice hotel, slightly overpriced but I think all the hotels are quite expensive in bagan. Rooms are quite small but clean, beds are hard but provided a good sleep. The staff are welcoming and helpful and helped us arrange taxis and trips. Please be aware though that this hotels is AGES out of nyaung u. It takes 30-40 minutes to walk there. We hired e bikes which solved the problem but it would have been nice to be able to walk home after dinner - we had to pay for taxis.

The hotel is located between Old Bagan and Nyaung U, which makes it convenient if you want to avoid the expensive hotels in Bagan and yet don't want to be too far away from most of the temples. It is easily reachable by bicycle from Old Bagan. Despite not being in the town centre, it is next to a couple of good restaurants. Hotel overall is comfortable, staff was helpful and friendly, good value for money and everything was quite smooth. Internet was only available in the lobby and not very stable, but it is common among hotels in Burma.

As there was not yet any published reviews about this hotel, I felt obliged to write one up after the three nights spent there. First things first. The location of the hotel is its major advantage and disadvantage at the same time. It is located right next to the Highway bus station and also not far from the airport. The long haul overnight busses stop here early in the morning and you can use this hotel as your first stand as you can check-in right away provided they have vacancy, which shouldn’t be a problem as they have plenty of rooms, at least in the low season. However, as the hotel is located right next to a major road, the traffic can be a bit noisy sometimes, especially as it is customary in Myanmar traffic to honk your horns all the time. Also the arriving planes, yet few by numbers, will make their landing approach right over you. This is most apparent at the swimming pool and at the rooms which are located closest to the road, but to be fair the traffic is not very heavy and neither the noise is too excessive, but it still gives the hotel a bit of motel / airport hotel kind of feeling. Maybe they could consider building a noise isolating wall between the road and the hotel, and especially next to the swimming pool which is a bit strangely placed between the road and the main entrance. Another disadvantage due to its distant location is lack of services near by. Thefore you are pretty much stuck with the choices provided by the hotel unless you make your way to the Nyaung U town five kilometers up the road. Some remarks about the hotel itself. There were few typical quirks common in SEA, like the bed was that ”firm type”, you know what I mean. Shower head was installed too low and, as a bit over 180cm tall I had to bend my head under it. That’s really nothing uncommon in Asia but in modern hotel like this it sticks out. Also the toilet paper holder was installed inconveniently low rendering it practically unusable. And last but not the least the

The manager is great English speaker and very caring. He always greet guests whenenver they come and go the front gate. Rest of the staffs try to keep smile on their face and are very polite. Dormitory beds are big size and there is plenty of space between the beds. Bathroom is clean and water pressure is satisfying. Things that were was unsatisfying was they had No WIFI. Towel was optional for 1000kyat. The water temperature didn't go hot as much as I expected. It was between cold and warm. Other than that it was a great stay. I would definitely stay here again if I go back to Bagan.

I can not eat Gluten or msg and Shwe the Manager went to the local market and prepared an excellent gluten free breakfast for me every morning. She really works non-stop to make your stay a good one. Ranging from helping you plan your sightseeing for the day to booking your transportation for your next destination . Very comfortable bed. Room was super clean and smelled fresh everyday. Lobby was very clean. There is a lock box at the front desk but Shwe and her sisters keep a close eye on who goes in and out so I didn’t really use it. I also rented an Electric Scooter from the hotel. Lastly, they did save the day when I was leaving this morning. I would still have given them an excellent review anyway. The mini bus was picking me up at 8:30 am to take me to Mandalay. The ATM machine close by didn’t like that I kept extending my time to put in the cash amount that I wanted to take out. It will ask you every 20 seconds. After a minute or so it just ate my card and that was that. Bank didn’t open until 9 AM. Game over. I would have stayed an extra day to get that card back as it was one of two that I carry with me. I went back to the hotel at 8:20 and told Shwe about what happened and her sisters jumped into action. They went to the side door of the bank and pounded on it. Bank Manager just happen to come in early today and he opened the ATM machine up and got my card back. The mini bus pulled up a few seconds later. What’s that old saying, some people just go beyond what is expected to make sure you have a enjoyable visit. Thank you Shwe and sisters for making my Bagan visit a good one.
