Arthawka Hotel

People were great!!! They made us feel at home and even brought a band to play some nice Christmas songs for all the guests. I must mention however that there is no electricity during the day. Thank you all for your kindness.

Le personnel de l'hôtel est très gentil et serviable. Les chambres sont simples mais correctes. On sent néanmoins que le contexte sanitaire et politique du pays qui a quasi stoppé le tourisme depuis 3 ans a un impact car l'hôtel est vieillissant et l'entretien semble sommaire.

Overall, the Hotel is very nice. The rooms need some upkeep/maintenance, especially the showers. Power outlet instructions in the rooms need to be updated - I was totally confused about where I could or could not charge my cellphone. The staff were very pleasant and helpful! :-)

Great location

I recommend this hotel. Clean, polite, beautiful place and great pool

My friend and I stayed here recently and cannot rate it highly enough. My friend got very sick while we were in Bagan (taken to hospital etc) and the staff were so amazing and accommodating. They organized a doctor to come to the hotel, bought special food to the room for my friend and were always checking how she was. They even sorted out our ebike for us (my friend was taken by ambulance from a pagoda at sunrise and we had to leave the bike behind). Beyond the amazing staff, the pool area is so nice and relaxing, the food is good, and it's very clean. Would definitely recommend!

Service is perfect. Will help you with no problems or delay. Huge room, shower isn't the hottest but that's ok in the tropics. Pool is really good. Thank you

I can't gush enough about this hotel. The staff were excellent, they helped me with work stuff, scanning etc. I never opened my own door. There were issues with some of my scans, so they let me keep the room late. They arranged sunrise transport when I arrived on the overnight bus. The pool was excellent. No matter what I asked for, they brought it...at one point I thought I should ask for a pony, just to see what would happen. I loved this hotel. I usually stay in cheaper hotels, but someone recommended this in Lake Inle. This is a 5 star hotel, masquerading as a moderately price inn. Go there!

The Arthawka is a pleasant property, in a great location. It's pronounced "aw-tock-uh" locally, so if you are heading in from the pier, bus station, or airport remember that as it will be easier to explain to the driver picking you up. We wanted to be in New Bagan, and a little out of the "scene," so this was perfect. All of the staff are friendly, and try to go out of their way to be as helpful as possible. A few of the staff speak English well enough that we never had any language barrier issues at all. The room was comfortable, and clean. Daily housekeeping services were detailed and and didn't leave any room for complaint. It was nice to have fresh fruit left in the room occasionally, and new water bottles every day as well. WiFi worked in the room, the lobby, and by the pool. Note: it's not exactly the broadband you're probably used to, but for casual browsing/posting etc. it works fine. A couple of times I lost a connection and called down to the front desk where they were happy to reset the router and it was restored in a few minutes. The pool was a pleasant temperature, and there were plenty of lounge chairs surrounding it. Fresh pool towels were stacked by the entrance to the pool. I did feel there was too much chlorine in the pool, but it didn't stop me from using it for midday siestas at the peak heat of the day. Overall, this is a well run and comfortable property, and a great value for your stay in Bagan.

Very good and friendly service. Nice pool area. Plenty of restaurants in local area and only 15 mins away from main sites.

Great hotel with good location Hotel is clean with very clean swimming pool. Good choice of breakfast. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Manager was great and took personal interest in helping customers needs. Overall 4.9

I stayed at the Arthawka in mid January 2018. Surprisingly, like a lot of other hotels, the occupancy was quite low. It appeared that the hotel has been set up to cater for bus groups. The staff were all very helpful, keen to assist. At short notice they were able to arrange a guide, electric scooter, river sunset viewing. The hotel is located in New Bagan close to many other hotels and restaurants.

the hotel need to hire people who can speak English

We stayed 4 nights, the last on New Year's Eve. We had only planned two nights and the hotel was booked for NYE, but the manager went out of his way to find us accommodation. Free drinks on NYE and lovely staff. Buffet breakfast each morning was nice enough. Pool was lovely. Would recommend.

The hotel is known to local drivers and therefore less worry when it is your first time to get there. Upon arrival, we’re greeted with kind staffs whom are willing to help you with your activities in Bagan. The hotel is also helpful in renting our e-bike and taxi going around the place. In addition, the food in its restaurant is good with comparable price when you eat outside. Lastly, though staffs has difficulty in speaking english, they are very willing to help you in times of need. Likewise, they have a manager who speaks english fluently, so everything is manageable.

You really need a swimming pool in very hot Bagan after a hot day of sightseeing. The Arthawka Hotel has a very clean and comfortable pool area. The rooms are very spacious and come with everything that you need including very high speed Internet. Breakfast was a nice selection of foods that were well prepared. Beds were a little firm but overall, we were very comfortable there.

Good location. Very very nice staff, they arranged for us all trips.

Clean hotel, polite staff, good value for money. Do not inderstand why the swimming pool in salt water??

Great location and service. A short walk to the area of New Bagan with grocery, food and supplies. You can rent e-bikes from the desk (5,000Ky/day) and is right out front. Book your intercity bus there also and the bus will pick you up from the hotel. The restaurant is a little expensive for the area but good food and very convenient after a long day trekking. The breakfast (included) is good with tea, coffee, eggs, noodles, cereal, potatoes, fruit, pastries, etc. The pool is salt water and clean. The rooms are a great value. The staff speaks fairly good english and is extremely helpful. I spent 3 nights here and the last day I had a bus at 9PM. They let me store my bags, use the pool and lobby from the late checkout (Noon) until the bus picked me up at 8:15.

This place is a far walk to some local restaurants. The pool was a great redeeming feature because it was so hot during my stay. The wifi in the room was non-existent. Had to use the lobby for wifi needs. The AC in the room was underpowered. The door didn't lock correctly as the handle was broken to the room. The food with all good intentions was bland. The hotel was mainly empty as my visit was in the hot low season (May). The staff was friendly and helped book transportation to Naypyidaw.
