"We spent two nights there, it’s a good budget option for Naypyidaw (which will be the most expensive portion of your trip in Myanmar, expect to pay more for everything) Pros - Nice breakfast buffet, water boiler in the room to avoid using plastic bottles, we could rent a scooter (4000k an hour, yes, it’s expensive yes), friendly staff. Helped arrange bus / taxi for onward travel. Cons - since the shower doesn’t have a way to air out the ceiling get moldy and smells strongly (rest of the shower is clean though). As excepted, the bathroom is outside the room, and it’s so bizarre. Location is really far from anything at all. (A few small shops and restaurants in walking distance to neighboring town). Overall, this place is the main budget option to stay in Nay Pyi Taw. Everything in Nay Pyi Taw is expensive, but accept that before coming here and you’ll enjoy your stay."

"Is hard to put an objective review for the hotel in this strange place. Surprisingly the room in the hotel was vary clean and looked like almost new. The was the best internet connection we've experienced in the whole Myanmar. It's hard to say anything about the location because it looks like all the hotels in Nay Pyi Taw are in the same area.

"Rooms were very big and nice - but note that the the configuration is King OR 2 singles, not King AND 2 singles, which resulted in us booking a room short (but Agoda was helpful). Rooms are very far from reception and breakfast, and the hotel is woefully understaffed. My father requires walking aid, called for hotel buggy 3 times over 30mins and each time staff said ok but none turned up, resulting in him having to struggle for 20mins to get to the breakfast on foot. Breakfast is ala carte, and takes a really long time. Between ordering and first dish was more than 40mins (despite there being no other guest), we gave up on the last dish after 1.5hrs waiting."

"I booked at Nirvana purely because it was close to where I needed to be, and what an inspired booking it was! Right from the moment I was picked up in the hotel shuttle at the airport, I was treated as a special guest. The rooms are well-appointed and truly spacious bungalows with wonderfully comfortable beds and everything a traveler would need - the bathroom was larger than the hotel rooms I usually stay in! I was informed that the on-site L'Opera Restaurant is highly regarded internationally for its Italian food, a claim that I took with a grain of salt until I dined there - exquisite food and service. Nirvana is a newly-established hotel and so is yet to construct the planned pool and spa, but if they are to the standard of the rest of the hotel, this will be a place deserving of its name."

"Was expecting a better conditioned room given the review that I read online. As it is located in the hotel zone, it is considered much more centrally located than those in Hotel Zone 2. The room is clean but very basic. The toilet used a shower curtain to "wrap around" the shower point with the pole sagging badly. The breakfast is really not amazing with limited seating in the morning. That being said, I think this hotel might be the better ones in that area. Given that hotels in Nay Pyi Taw are built to support the shifting of the country's capital from Yangon, they have their limitations. Cheers"

"nan waddy located in hotel zone in nay pyi taw. the new capital is designed in mind with clusters of commercial / building type hence, hotels are designated in the ‘hotel zone’ nan waddy is a work in progress chalet based suitable for couples and small families. from the main road to the reception it is quite a distance, hence having the driver to send you in is a better idea, not knowing this we walked about 20 mins with our luggage in. the reception staff is great coupled with the welcome drink, towel and very friendly approach during the check in progress. caddy’s would send the guest to the rooms. most rooms faces this lotus lake with great evening sunset view and definitely great privacy as each chalet is located strategically with suffice spacing. the veranda by the lake is a great evening / morning view. the bathroom is lovely with huge rain shower and jacuzzi. wifi connectivity is fast.
