Bagan King Hotel

Spent two nights here on our holidays and everything was perfect! The location is convenient for touring Mandalay and it is a walking distance to many good restaurants nearby. The entire hotel is uniquely designed, which makes us feel like staying in ancient times Myanmar. As for the room, it was clean and comfortable; the toilet is just wow. Staffs were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Best of all, they have a rooftop bar to view the entire town and free cocktails are served at a certain hour of the day. We would definitely return in the future!

This is a good choice for a short, sightseeing stay in Mandalay as it is near the Royal Palace and everything else. The room was clean and quite large enough for two friends with their cases, though nowhere to actually unpack clothes except a small hanging rail. The bathroom was spotless with a good shower - a little more light would have been appreciated, in the bedroom also. Beds were comfortable, and the service was good.||The best thing about the hotel is the rooftop restaurant where they can slide back the windows to make it more like a roofed terrace. Great cocktails for Happy Hour and the food was nice. Can't say I enjoyed the Puppet Show and Music as it just droned on in the background through the evening although the lady puppeteer was, I am sure, very good - sorry, not my thing!!||Breakfasts were particularly good with loads of choice, both Western and Asian - and the only half decent bread we had in Myanmar! Particular merit was a Myanmar flat pancake, filled with chillies, bean sprouts and all sorts!!||Shame there was no outside area or pool, but it is in the centre of Mandalay.

|This hotel is on a corner of two busy streets in Yangon. It’s rather noisy all day long, with traffic. However, I imagine this may be the same issue for many hotels in the centre of the city.||The rooms were a little over furnished for the size, but was fine for our stay. The bathroom was a good size. ||Breakfast was served on the roof top with far reaching views of the city. Sadly there was very little choice for vegetarians, and so I did not bother with breakfast on my second day. ||I must mention that the hotel serve free cocktails at happy hour on the roof terrace, which was an unexpected surprise. The team were extremely friendly and helpful, especially Aung Ko Ko. ||We dined there on our first evening, and watched the puppet show that took place each evening. ||What made this hotel was the team (my reason for 5 stars),who were incredibly helpful and attentive. This was from the welcome desk and reception team, to the restaurant and bar staff. ||The reception desk also helped us to find a camera shop and a very reasonable tuk tuk to take us around the “must see” sites for the afternoon. We very much appreciated their help and service with a smile.

Only reason we did not give 5-star rating is because it's a busy location in the middle of the Mandalay street grid. Closer to Irrawaddy River would be better (sunset restaurants and bars, etcetera). That being stated, if you're in Mandalay to sight-see (citadel, temples, etc.) this place is excellent. It's like the Goldie Locks hotel: middle range to everything except the awesome top-floor. Rooms are nice and basic. Not too big, not too small. Not chintzy, not fancy. Right in the middle and a good price point. Walking distance from the citadel, markets and restaurants (or rent bicycles - Mandalay is not too scary to navigate and it's a grid - it's hard to get lost here). If you fly out of Mandalay, have the friendly front desk staff book you a private driver and leave early so you can visit U-Bain Bridge on way to airport. Driver will wait for you. Longest teak bridge in the world! Best at sunrise or sunset. Top floor features great views and cocktail bar. Great breakfast spread up there. Great dinner too - WITH PUPPET SHOW AND MUSIC EVERY NIGHT! Front desk even recommended a river-front hotel for us to have sunset drinks one evening.

Cracking hotel. Room was a decent size with old wooden style furnishings and flooring, nice exposed brickwork in the shower, firm bed. Had a couple of free cocktails each on the house which was a nice touch, good view of Mandalay from the roof bar, mountains and all. The staff were so lovely - kind, happy, and extremely helpful. Only stayed for one night but wish we could have stayed longer!

Loved it. Very classy Myanmar hotel with great staff and excellent breakfast. We felt like a king and queen here. The bathroom and shower I want in my own home.. the whole place was bricked and decorated like an Asian palace of old.. just awesome! And the wifi is excellent....

We stayed at the bagan King hotel for two nights during our recent trip around Myanmar. We enjoyed the cooked breakfast in the rooftop restaurant, and the lovely outlook at sunset for the happy hour cocktails, my favourite being the Gin cocktails - delicious. Bagan King was a great base for us to explore around Mandalay, we had a driver each day so didn’t spend too much time in the hotel. Our room was clean and we had a hot shower each night before settling in with the air condition on.

Just stayed at this convenient and nice hotel for two days before heading back to Bangkok. Room was nicely furnished with comfortable beds and nice bathroom with great shower. Restaurant was quite nice, too, with good food selection, nice wine menu, and live music and Burmese puppet show. Excellent service staff from our waiter Aung Ko Ko, who was attentive and welcoming.
