KMA Bagan Hotel River View

Great location in old Bagan. Spacious room and a riverside restaurant with spectacular sunset view! The room is very spacious. But the bathroom needs to be repaired. The towels are worn and frayed. It was very cold during the night (end Dec)

Everything about our stay at Bagan Hotel River View was excellent-- from the views, to the staff, to the pool, to our room and small patio. We were able to rent e-bikes from the hotel and bike around the pagodas, which was lovely. The thoughtfulness that went in to each and every detail of this hotel made our 2-day stay not at all long enough. Would highly recommend to anyone going through Bagan.

Amazing place! Beautiful grounds and location right on the river are the best part. Helpful staff with adequate English ability, excellent breakfast. Close to several restaurants and e-bike rental. Rooms need updating, which explains the lower room rates vs nearby hotels, but above features compensate for this.

We have to thank all the staff because they’re incredible and the property is amazing. Haven said that. The room was awful, the worst room I’ve been to. It is pricey compared to the other hotels in town, and it is not the hotel fault, it is on Expedia. I tried to contact them and We never could, we had to change hotels, even if we already paid more nights. This is the last time I trust in Expedia, they’re no objective and they don’t check the properties and if they do, they don’t care about the travelers because if they did they would post some of the photos of the rooms, I have quiet few.

Ok, clean enough, old towels

This is a gorgeous property... more of a garden on the banks of the Irrawaddy than a mere "hotel"... even had two ancient pagodas nestled in among the trees. There was a spacious deck area that was perfect for watching the sun set over the river. My room was comfortable, and somewhat rustic with a wooden sort of decor... I really liked it... the bathroom could use some sprucing up but I am a traveler not a tourist, and I find that sort of thing of little consequence. I highly recommend this property, and I know that I will certainly stay here again.

Amazing location, right next to Gawdawpalin, one of the main temples in Bagan. Lovely grounds and the riverside bar is great for sunset drinks. The room was spacious and bed was comfortable.Sound proofing (as with most hotels in Myanmar) was very poor. The bed was at the furthest point from the door but we could still hear every conversation had at the corridor & room doors being shut. The toilet was by far the worse we came across during our trip. It was small and mould & rust was everywhere, including the showerheads. For the price we paid, I think we expected a slightly higher level of maintenance being given to the toilet. Also, the hotel could try to look into incorporating a more sustainable way of providing drinking water to its guests e.g. leaving glass bottles in rooms and having water dispensers around the property for people to refill their bottles for use.

WiFi is not very good. More options for breakfast would help. Location is great, right near some temples.

I will start with the positive aspects of my review. I had stayed river front view with balcony and the view is breathtaking. The room I had stayed was 1204, directly below of Presidential Suite 1 and 2. Tourists in Bagan are usually tempted by sunrise tour but if you book the room for full moon or fuller moon nights, please don't do sunrise tour. The moon will set directly across the river which gives you spectacular moon reflection on the famous Irrawaddy river which you can enjoy by simply waking up by 5am and not going out for sunrise sightseeing. I can assure you, you will be amazed the serenity of moon before it setting over the mountains, the other side of the river. The hotel has two authentic, well maintained old pagodas inside the compound which are located next to the breakfast area. Basically you are having breakfast next to ancient pagodas, right in front of the river which is mesmerising. Now here comes the bad... Towels are well past the used by date. The blankets and sheets are yellowish. Bathtub and toilet need to be renewed. Breakfast is below average with not much choices. My verdict, I'd use the hotel again just for the spectacular of the site but I wish management upgrade the amenities.

The Hotel was in Old Bagan - close to all the temples. Great location and nice view of the river. Staff were friendly and the room was good. Excellent tree cover - so it was cool to walk around the grounds. Pool was good. Breakfasts wer really good.

Resort is a bit tired - needs an update and a bit of a clean in bathroom. Staff excellent - courteous kind helpful

The staff were friendly. Location within Old Bagan meant easy travel in amd out with access to the sights.

Fantastic hotel with a great river side view for breakfast. Staff was very helpful. Room condition was spacious and clean. Nice local snacks provided. Drawback is quite poor Wifi Connection

This is an amazing hotel in the archaeological zone of Bagan, which was designated by UNESCO as a world heritage. No new hotels are allowed to be built in the zone any more. There are two temples in the hotel’s garden, dated back to 11th and 12th centuries. The museum and some other temples are within walking distance. The river view is tranquil, and is the best place to watch the sunset. I think the hotel did not do sufficient advertisement to highlight its uniqueness. Furthermore, I was sick during my stay, and the staff took excellent care of me. I left as a healthy person.

Garden with own temples and river view are fantastic and the winning propositions here. We just loved it! Room was however too dark and staff, although extremely polite, didn’t speak enough English which at times created some confusion..

I will have to split this review is 3. 1. Location is just exeptional! You are surrounded by temples already , and they have x2 in their own grounds. Old Bagan is just spectacular - we used tuk tuk to explore (as i was nearly 8months pregnant and didnt want to go on electric bike , we also against animal abuse , and making poor horses to go around temples in a heat of C30+ isnt something i would recommend). Just outside hotel there are planty tuk tuk , taxi and bike rental service. Downside there isnt many restaurants near by and hotel is rather expensive (avarage $10 per person for a dinner). 2. They Riverside restaurants offers most amazing sunset view of the river - stunning place , and food is really good, however rather pricy - but this was our luxury treat for a south asian tour. 3. Room - hmmm... has everything you need, but definately needs upgrading , walls needs repainting, bathroom rather old and towels clean , but a bit off colour. Perhaps not the best , but this shouldnt put you off as at the end yopu wont spend much time in the room. Hotel surroundings are just amazing and many lovely areas to relax, beautiful swimming pool and great little escape. If not for a room itself i would give 4stars to hotel itself.

Beautiful hotel, amazing location. A bit noisy at times. The walls are not particularly thick and noise travels very easily.

A brilliantly unique hotel with friendly and accommodating staff, right in the heart of Old Bagan. Perfect location for exploring on foot, with a good restaurant selling simple but hearty meals

The service is perfect. Everybody’s is helpful, nice and efficient. We stayed 4 nights and it was very pleasant to have some rest at the outdoor bar/restaurant. Small surprise regarding the noise of the river ( the boat engines noise is very loud ) early in the morning.

Very good location to explore Bagan. Love the restaurant area which is located next to the river.
