The bungalow-style rooms were clean, spacious, and despite showing some age, they provided a cozy and comfortable stay. While the dining options were satisfactory, the hotel's friendly and accommodating service truly stood out. The facilities, though not lavish, were well equipped, offering a pleasant stay overall.

The hotel has big and comfortable rooms, but some additional services are overpriced. The staff provides good hospitality but could improve in terms of practicality. The location is fantastic with a lush oasis feel but lacks proximity to specific Bagan landmarks. The dining offers a mix of local and Western dishes, although quality can vary. The facilities are satisfactory but not exceptional.
