Not only does this hotel have the best location, but it's also one of the best. The breakfast buffet is better than many hotels in Myanmar. The regular meals are okay, but the set menu has a good variety of dishes. The rooms are large, and very relaxing. The staff are overly nice and attentive. The only drawback is during... More

Location is fantastic (and a stone throw away from Bagan's excellent "Be kind to animals" restaurant :-) Hotel rooms are worth the money. The rest is ridiculously overpriced: - beer for 5 USD? - pasta for 9 USD? The swimming pool was not working for the entire duration of our stay (a common theme across our travel in Myanmar). They...

We stayed here for two nights and enjoyed our stay. The rooms were large and very comfortable. Breakfast was also quite good. The staff, however, was largely disengaged and hard to track down if you needed something. For example at breakfast you had to go find a waiter to get coffee, to order lunch by the pool you had to...

I can't figure out why anyone would complain about this hotel. First off, it is absolutely lovely -- in terms of the grounds, the rooms, the pool, and staff. Rooms were spacious with high ceilings and clean linens. Most importantly, the air-conditioner was excellent -- very important if you're there in 108F degree heat, as we were! One day we... More

The location of this hotel is unbeatable - right in the heart of the temples of Old Bagan. It was amazing how close and conveniently located that the hotel was to the main attractions and a great selection of restaurants. The hotel is nice and comfortable with the rooms being spacious. The staff are very nice and helpful. There was... More

The hotel rooms are large and cool. The gardens are also cooling...Bagan can be very hot! All rooms are at ground level and you access them by walking through a lush garden with water features. It is a great location to visiting the Bagan sites.

We stayed three nights at the Tharabar Gate, and consider it one of the nicest places on our travels. The service was good, the room comfortable and the landscaped grounds beautiful. We especially appreciated the well-functioning airconditioning and lovely pool in the middle of the afternoon when the temperature was over 100 degrees. We were fortunate to be close to... More

Perhaps our expectations were too high after all the great reviews on TA, however we were disappointed with our 5 night stay Hotel at Tharabar Gate. Firstly the pros: The rooms are big, lovely and nicely decorated and the gardens are cool and beautiful. The location is fantastic for restaurants (plenty within walking distance) and central for temples. The breakfast... More

We stayed here for three nights in March and enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The room was fairly large with a window looking out on to the grassy path that weaves around the one-story "villa" like accommodations. Dark wood on the floor and a very small "patio" out back, though it was always too darned hot to go out there to... More
