Bagan Thande Hotel, Old Bagan

Para quienes viajan solos, la ubicación es bastante apartada. El desayuno fue en el río Irrawaddy, fue genial, a veces los cuervos nos obligaban a comer, el personal del hotel fue muy agradable, me alojaré allí de nuevo la próxima vez.

Perfect Location along the Ayeryawaddy River in Old Bagan. Three of us went up to Bagan from Mandalay and chose this hotel for it's location. Built in the 1970's it is spread out on the expansive grounds. Two of our rooms faced the river, the other faced the carport. This room is one you would not want to choose, loud neighbors and parking lot noise. The river view rooms were quiet. We had breakfast each morning there, and dinner a couple of times, the menu is mostly Burmese food, it would be helpful if they redid the menu. There is a pool and one can use after they finish cleaning at 9am, we used the pool, again it would be helpful if it were cleaned earlier for customers that want to swim early. The rooms need a renovation, starting with the beds, towels and linens. Bed was hard as you were lying right on the springs. Bath and shower were good. Safe did not work, I was given a key in which there was no place to insert and no directions what I was supposed to do with the key. No reception on the television. AC in room worked fine, no ceiling fan. Veranda was nice and spacious. My friend went and had a massage, it was average, possibly due to it being a holiday weekend for the Burmese. Reception and check in was fine. Check out was fine, one friend was almost charged for a glass that broke, until she mentioned that floor had not been cleaned and there were glass shards on the floor. Overall customer service was good. Rooms were clean. This hotel is a family hotel, so if you do not like children running around playing and making noise choose somewhere different.

Thande Hotel delivers it promise of elegance and serenity as always. Thank you for the memorable visit and everyone there was pretty helpful. Pro tip: ask a rooma bit far from restaurant and the pool if you prefer seclusion and to enjoy the quiet ambiance.
