I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was decent, as it was within walking distance to notable sights like the Shwezigon Pagoda. The rooms had a nice feel with a cozy veranda, though I found them to be smaller and not as appealing as the pictures suggested. The service left much to be desired, with issues around payment rates and some loud disturbances in the mornings. Overall, while there are some positives, certain aspects definitely need improvement.

The rooms had a cozy veranda and a door leading to the garden, giving a nice outdoor feel. However, they were quite small and didn't match the pictures we saw, which was a bit disappointing.

The location is fairly good, being within walking distance to the Shwezigon Pagoda and some food stalls. However, it's a bit far from the main restaurant area and doesn’t feel very inviting.

The breakfast was quite good, but the timing from 6-9 AM didn’t work well for us as most people are out seeing the sunrise in Bagan at that time. They didn't offer take-outs either.

I didn’t notice many facilities besides the rooms. They had some nice features like small terraces attached to the units, but overall the amenities seemed limited.

However, the rooms weren’t very suitable when I checked in, and the dining options left a lot to be desired as they weren’t warm enough. Overall, it’s a good value for the price but definitely had its downsides.
