Aung Mingalar Hotel

Very neat to the food street, staff are very friendly.

The hotel is far away from down town.Difficult to find shophouse which sell food and beverage.

If you are looking at this hotel you are interested in price and location. This will fit the bill.

BREAKFAST VERY GOOD

We booked this hotel for one night (after travelling from Mandalay by bus) just wanted to check out the area before we booked our next four nights in Bagan. Checkin was quick & easy but the room was full of mosquitoes. We always travel with mosquito coils & promptly lit two (one in the bedroom & one in bathroom) headed across the road to check out the Pagoda & local area, which was quite good & only an easy 5-10 minute walk to Restaurant St. on return to our room we still encountered mosquitoes. Bed was comfortable, shower good & hot. Breakfast next morning was more than adequate with a lot of western options, but again mosquitoes everywhere in the outdoor dining area. This charm of this hotel was its lovely gardens but unfortunately that also meant a lot of water laying around which obviously caused the mosquito problem. We checked out straight after breakfast & moved to the Thante Hotel which was approximately 20 min walk away ( so glad we did the Thante was outstanding!!!)

Transport and tours quoted by hotel are much expensive than outside tour. Don't get it from hotel

Overall experience was very good.

This guesthouse was very nice and comfortable. The wifi was limited to the reception area, which was disappointing. Breakfast was limited in options - no fruit or yoghurt, only white bread, fried eggs only that were very undercooked. There were plenty of more traditional local options however. Bicycle hire was convenient for visiting the temples, but the bikes were in poor repair and quite uncomfortable to ride, but at least they worked. Staff were helpful and friendly and helped me with booking a taxi to the airport.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, much has to do with the friendly staff - special mention goes to Thu Zur, who did a brilliant job at reception. Bagan is amazing and the hotel is right in front of Schwezigon Paya which looks awesome from the reception area (where wifi is available) especially when lit up at night. The hotel provides bicycles and e-bike at a decent price (the ebike is definitely worth hiring - so fun and great for riding to the landmarks. Buffet breakfast includes a variety of asian and western dishes - delicious! The room was spacious and comfortable and I definitely recommend this hotel - more suited to couples/friends than solo backpackers though since its a bit far from New Bagan (where a few hostels/ guest houses are).

Hotel close to restaurants. Poor internet had to go to lobby to log on and then very very slow. Rooms plain and worn. Room next door had a six inch scorpion in bathroom and freaked the ladies out.

We had to pay for the WI-Fi access. Then we can only used it at receptionist lobby. The room was full of mosquitos. Dark and depressing. Again, there were no clothing rack. The concrete floor with dirt ...I can tell more but i don't want to scare all tourists away. Just don't go to that motel. The management is very stingy with room accomodation.

Loved this place, great location and super friendly staff. Had all I needed and great breakfast

Arrived 4 hrs late on the boat cruise from Mandelay abt 1930,cold and tire,was told allocated a newly renovated room,walk in the room with a shock of the conditions,cement floor,white wall with 2 beds,nothing like the photo show on the site that posted by the hotel,not even a chair to sit on,went to shower, more shock as there was no hot water pressure,just a dribble,when to inform the front check in the morning, the attitude and answer from the staff was "is that the only complaint u have",was told will send some one to repair,after a long day walk to visited the site,came back with no hot water again,worst is rood is getting lots of mozzies,just a nightmare,there was not any basic courtesy from the staff to act on the basic request from guest.And pls check the mini bar as they are not provided according to the bar list.

Helpful staff. Location opposite one of the major tourist sites.

very basic hotel with no amenities. With one notable exception (who was lovely) the hotel staff were entirely unhelpful (to the extent that they took so long sorting out the rental of the decrepit e-bikes that we missed the dawn we had dragged ourselves out of bed for!) Refused to allow early check in when we arrived by overnight bus (the only hotel in Myanmar at which we experienced this), so be aware if this is how you will be arriving. Location is a little inconvenient but this can be easily overcome on the e-bikes. honestly can't say this hotel has anything to recommend it and certainly would not stay there again.

easy access to everything, it was ok for a couple of days. Not if you are looking a unique hotel experience

We stayed 5 nights. Reception office close 10 pm.. Peoples talking,singing even playing guitar till 2 am. in the morning in smoking area.

1) The rooms are far smaller than whats shown on the web site.. and have an open bathroom....there is a distinct stink of sewerage in the room...which makes staying in the room unbearable.. 2) The breakfast served is cold....and hardly anyone to attend to you during breakfast.... 3) Except for one person most of the staff just look blank and cant communicate in English. This was the worst hotel we stayed in Myanmar...the rooms were over priced....and we found far better rooms at half the price elsewhere... 4) There is no wifi in the rooms... Unlike other hotels...they are very professional and charge you for just about everything....even the wifi...and if you ask them to call a local number and help you they even charge 300 Kyats for that ! 5) They even charge you for an early check in and a late check out which no other hotel charged in Myanmar..Most buses in Myanmar arrive at 6 am...and hence hotels are used to people checking in early... 5) The worst is the loud sound of festival and prayers from the Pagoda across the road which go on all night ! We could not get a wink of sleep because of the loud music and sound from the pagoda . No other hotel in Bagan has this problem..it was like staying in a marketplace... ! Expedia should not list this property...and should make customers aware of such pathetic room conditions

I stayed there for 3D2N. The hotel was easy to find and near to the local activities. The manager and her daughter were a lovely people! They're so friendly and kindly to accommodate my questions and needs.

nice room, between airport and old bagan, value for money
