The Bawga Theiddhi hotel in New Bagan is in a perfect location to explore the magnificent ancient temples of Beautiful Bagan. They can arrange any activity from push bikes, ebikes or car all with or with out a guide. I recommend take a guide. They can also arrange balloons over Bagan, one of the worlds great balloon rides.
The hotel is headed up by operation manager Tin Aung Toe and he is supported by fabulous front desk staff, Aye Aye Thin, Shoon Shoon and Khin Zar Thu. What great service, what great smiles. So, as soon as you enter the experience is fantastic.
I stayed there also in 2017 and 18. Very happy then, but training of the staff has taken them to a new and very high level of service. Well done and thank you to all the staff, every need was anticipated and carried out with efficiency and that beautiful Myanmar smile. Tin has done a great job with his staff. Front office, food and beverage, the maintenance staff and house keeping.
The rooms were kept very clean and well stocked. The gardens, rooms and all areas are well kept. The pool was clean and a great place to relax and enjoy a drink, they have a pool bar to make you really relax.
The hotel has a new chef, Myint Naing, he can cook any thing. Traditional of course, highly recommend, Chinese, Thai and Western. He really is good. The breakfast buffet is very good all clean, fresh and a wide choice. Good coffee too.
Three room types, Superior, Deluxe and Deluxe Serene. I inspected then all. I can say I would have been more than happy with any standard of room. All big and clean, all good bathrooms and reasonably priced.
I took the Deluxe Serene this time, loved it, but, every room has everything you could want for a long or short stay. Cost in $US is low season and high season. $40 to 60,
$50 to 65 and $60 to 75. I have stayed at other hotels in Bagan and paid much more but this hotel is equal or better. I say better.
They also have a great spa and very close by are other restaurants and spas if you want to go out. It is close to town for shopping, this hotel checks all the boxes and is made even better by Tin and his staff. Staff make or break a hotel.
I hope the owners appreciate the asset they have in their hard working,
professional and friendly staff.
I know why I go back to this hotel, they never let me down, if anything they keep getting better. Well done Tin, well done to your great staff.
My Son in law and daughter joined me on this trip and they loved the hotel and Bagan. I had to carry lots of the beautiful Bagan Lacquer ware back for my daughter. Bagan is famous for it. Ask Tin, he will tell you how to know the quality lacquer ware.
Bawga Theiddhi hotel, well done. I will be back. To all travellers get to Myanmar, get to Bagan, stay at this hotel. Top rating
