Bagan has a lot of small hotels and motels, and also some
splendid hotels directly on the Irrawaddy river. Be carefull,
because there is also a lot of "very average" hotel
or even bad and for the same price or cheaper you can get
very good motel, guest house.
If you can, pamper yourself
and take a suite along the Irrawaddy river or at a nice 4 stars hotels on site.
All hotels on your website :
2014-2015
There is a lot of new hotels in Bagan. In fact 38 hotels (sometimes very big), have been built without any license and they have be regularized at the end of 2014 because of the flux of tourists.
Peak periods are :
- Novembre
- Xmas - New year (very difficult to find a room in 3 stars and 4 stars hotel).
- February.
During the peak seasons, you have to book 4-6 months in advance to get the best rooms or the best hotels.
Hotel in Bagan in march - April - May.
It is very hot to extremely hot in Bagan in April and May, with very often temperature above 40 C° and up to 44 C° or more.
Electricity is very scarce in Bagan, most of the hotels have generators but the small hotels (1, 2 and even 3 stars hotels) do not start the generator during day time, only after 5 or 6 PM.
So it could be very very hot in your room.
For these hot months, it could be a very good idea to put some extra money and to stay at a good 4**** hotel, or an hotel with a real swimming pool.
How to visit Bagan
The atmosphere in Bagan is unique and we had enjoyed years without visitors. Few recommandations :
- Avoid the main pagodas for the sunset sunrise, it is overcrowded, so much that it is spoiling all the pleasure. Find your own nice place during the stay and come back for the evening.
- Bike is probably the best way to discover Bagan but the site is huge and the weather is usually very hot.
- Electric bike rental is now very very popular, you can discover in silence Bagan, and not being exhausted biking under the sun. Probably now the best way.
- Car : it is confortable, cool (air con), fast, but you will miss something if you do only car for visiting Bagan.
- Horsecard : An other very nice way to discover Bagan (try one day with electric bike, and one day or half day with horse cart). Slow pace, quiet, .... and provide local job.

Umbra (ex Golden Express hotel)
Category : 2 star with swimming pool
Located along the road from Old Bagan to Nyaung Oo, (the street
is very quiet), this hotel looks like a big "motel".
Rooms are always clean, the deluxe and superior rooms are
quite good. It is not a charming hotel but it has a good quality
price ratio, the location is good. A reasonnable choice in
Bagan for this category.

| Arthawka Hotel
Category : 2 stars hotel.
A little far from Bagan (the hotel is at New Bagan), it is nevertheless a good choice. Big swimming pool, big room (with a lot less charm than the Thanzin Garden but the prices are not the same). Very correct. A good choice.

Small two star hotel, located in New Bagan (it is the only "problem"). It is a very good place to stay and relax. A lot of trees, very calm, small swimming pool and very good prices for a wide range of room, standard, superior and "suite". A very good choice for this price and category.
