Gracious Bagan Hotel

Beautiful architecture, gardens, pool & spa. Owner and his wife were very friendly and inviting to local activities like festivals and holiday celebrations. Staff was very helpful especial manager Myo and ​Naing Tun (also our mini car driver). With all there help anyone will have a great first time excursion into Myanmar's Bagan, Old Bagan and sourounding areas like Mount Papa. If you come here the only thing you will have left to do is ENJOY!!!😄😄😄😄😄

Beautiful view over Bagan and near Balloon ride landed

Beautiful hotel and really amazing staff but this hotel is located in the middle of nowhere. Part of the UNESCO agreement for Bagan to become a World Heritage Site was that any new hotels should be built away from the temple areas and so a hotel zone was created outside of New Bagan. The problem for the Gracious Bagan is that they are currently the only hotel in this hotel zone and so they really are out on a limb. As a consequence, there are no restaurants, shops or anything nearby so you cannot just go out on an evening without pre-booking a tax The first sign that the hotel was so far out of New Bagan was that the flat rate taxi price from the airport to New Bagan was doubled! The hotel does have a shuttle service at certain times of the day that drops you off in the centre of New Bagan but if you require a taxi at any other time, it takes a minimum of 10-15 minutes for the taxi to get to the hotel. I arrived early evening and so was pretty much limited on my first night to eating in the hotel restaurant. I found the menu to be extremely limited and there was nothing on the menu to cater for a vegetarian although they did make a vegetable curry for me. In the end, I opted to rent an E-bike from New Bagan to allow me the freedom to come and go from the hotel as I pleased, but the road from New Bagan to the hotel is not well maintained or lit and so it is not the safest of journeys to make after dark. Overall, a lovely hotel in an awful location.

The value for the money makes this a great place, despite the slightly out of town location! What made it great? The very nice and super attentive staff, including the owner who gave us a lift to the bus station, the tasty food (not the most expansive menu ever but we enjoyed our meals there), the beautiful hotel grounds, amazing pool, one of the only fitness centers in Bagam, shuttle bus, responsive to emails, spacious room, the early check-in AND late check-out, and the amazingly helpful staff who helped sort out difficulties with a tour we had booked. All of these things make it well worth it to stay here.

ニューバガンからも少し離れている立地ですが、建物も、お部屋もとてもきれいでした。スタッフの方も親切で過ごしやすかったです。観光用のタクシーもホテルのタクシーを予約できて、お値段も決まっているので安心でした。
