Very nice and helpful family who run this hotel. We were always late for breakfast but they didn't hesitate to prepare one for us anyway. We would come back again

The family who own and operate Golden Myanmar are beautiful people; I cannot rate them highly enough. From the first booking experience, chatting on the app, to pickup check-in, and the various issues I had (money changing dramas, date changes etc) they were graceful, generous and accommodating. I felt cared for and valued, beyond my small value as a customer. Everything was handled easily, with smiles, and I am actually a little reluctant to leave. The hotel itself is not luxury, but more than adequate, and I will be back here as soon as I can. The location is convenient and well-placed, near to the local market, restaurants, everything you might need. Local advice is given, and accurate, from a place of goodwill and trust. Honestly cannot speak highly enough of Thet Phoo and her family. Do yourself a favour and stay; I can't imagine you'll regret it.

- the bathrooms could use some attention but in general I was very pleased to stay here for 10 nights (kept on extending…) - wifi was sometimes working perfectly and sometimes not. that’s most likely depending on the room you are in.

Golden Myanmar was recommended to me by a local friend. It has around a dozen rooms in various sizes. One is directly facing a big balcony where an extensive breakfast is served. I stayed in a twin corner room at the end of the aisle. The mattress was good and due to windows on both sides the sleep was fantastic. After 22:00 there is no one in the street so it gets REALLY quiet. The place is run by a lovely family. Thet Phoo and her team are very helpful and make your stay as comfortable as possible. They also offer a cheaper pick up from the bus station than the actual taxi. Also you can book your balloon flight at the reception for the best price - depending on availability and day. Last minute bookings are cheaper. At the moment balloon prices are at their best rate - up to minus 50% of their official rate. You can rent a scooter or mountainbike at the reception as well. The great Nyaung U market is 1 min walk and Shwezigon pagoda 15 mins walk away. The famous restaurant street also 15 mins walk (opposite Shwezigon). Supermarket is next door. Pros: - best price for a private room. - white sheets. - room with windows. - complimentary water with refill station to avoid plastic. - close to supermarket / market / Shwezigon. - very friendly and helpful. - balloon flight / scooter / mountain bike rental directly at the reception for a good price. - cheaper pick up service from the bus station. - big balcony for extensive breakfast. - fridge and toiletries in the room. - own generator as electricity is switched off regularly by the authorities. - a/c and fan in the room. - wifi - they lent me cutlery and plate for the fruits from the market. - Thet Phoo speaks English so it’s easy to communicate. Thanks for a great time in Bagan / Nyaung U

No complaints

Modest, but cozy guest house. What really impressed us was management and service. The lady owner was extremely kind and helpful. She did much more than we paid for, by the way, very modest sum. She cared about our program and helped a lot, about our transfers (arranged meeting us at night far away - for free!), when small problems occurred (internet or hot water) she solved them immediately. We are very thankful to her and her kind staff.

Best hotel in Bagan. I really recommend it!

Very nice and friendly owner, he helped us all the time. Without him, our trip would not have gone so well. Really spacious and comfortable room, good wifi, very clean, delicious breakfast, great location. You can rent a bike for exploring the temple

The owner ripped me off by double the price, there was no power most the time, internet was off most of the time, there was lots of mosquitoes the place was really dirty and they gave me the wrong bedroom.

Nothing

The room was dark wood panelling and rather dated . The window to the outside world was tall but only 30 cm wide . Their is no sound proofing between rooms , it sounded like the people in the adjoining room were in mine . If you don’t pay in US dollar the exchange rate in kyats made the room $5 more as they don’t convert at the bank rate . The property is located a fair walk from the main action in town but with an E bike it wouldn’t be a problem.

Couldn’t wish for a nicer welcome . Lovely people who are always smiling. Excellent breakfast , great start for the day .
