I like the ethnic feel. It felt like a real Burmese hotel down to the puppet show at dinner. The decorations were a nice touch. All the rooms looked authentic and as if they were straight out the 15th century. The only thing I didn’t like was no availability of late check out. Most hotels I stay at will least give you till two or three but there’s no budging from the staff on this one. So I basically just packed up my bags and left at 9 o’clock in the morning And explored Mandalay all day and then went to the airport in dire need of a shower.

I would definitely recommend this hotel. And if you want to explore Mandalay all day and then leave I would just rent the room for another night if you have the financial ability to do so.

Awful value for money

they charge as though they were a 5* property but they are actually rubbish. rooms may look big but they are not spacious if you know what I mean. Impossible to work on the desk provided, impossible to sip a cup of tea on the coffee table provided, impossible to open up the luggage well as there is a pillar right in the middle of the room. the bathroom is crap also. staff severely undertrained although quite friendly, but that's common in Myanmar. English spoken quite poorly. Noise 24/7 as the property faces 2 big roads.
Breakfast was pathetic.
For the money they charge I am surprised they are so highly rated. Incredible really.

Ms Aye and Mr Arar at reception were happy to help and restaurant staff were lovely as well. Bed was very hard and a lot of light from the street and outside lights made it difficult to sleep but apart from that, great little hotel in the city centre.

Unbearably rude, we were held at airport due to visa issue we contacted the hotel prior to ask to move date or hold for credit until we resolved they responded to only add additional fees for no-show. Not a good way of doing business when we offered to leave excellent review to move our reservation back one day. Buy insurance and also not these people are very rude Online and on the phone. the country in general is extremely greedy and a tourist trap across the board. Very upset how they handled this

Mandalay

As soon as you enter the hotel lobby, you will notice unique artifacts decorating the hotel, including the large, bronze statue (of three noblemen). Check the beautiful ceilings here and in the 6th (?) floor restaurant where you get panoramic views of Mandalay. Staff were very helpful throughout, except, the breakfast waitress seemed to spend too much time out of sight, and I never got a second cup of coffee. Evening crew at restaurant were great Enjoyed their happy hour drinks. Their puppets for sale are better and cheaper than those available at the airport. Overall, a comfortable place to relax, sleep and eat.

The service and the staff in Bagan King was amazing and truly exceeded our expectation. On the last day of our stay we checked out early and left our luggage at the hotel then went off for more sightseeing in Mandalay. By 6pm we got back to the hotel and found ourselves in sweat and dust. Then we tried to request if by any chance we can take a quick shower before our 8-hour overnight bus journey. Maw Si, the reception lady, immediately made a few calls and arranged a vacant room for us to take a shower which we really appreciated. During the time we waited in the hotel lobby before we started our way to the bus station, she was so attentive that she noticed our bottle of water was almost finished and kindly offered us two new bottles for free. She did make our experience with the hotel perfect.

The hotel also offered free snack time and happy hour at certain hours. The staff at the restaurant was so nice to us even we didnt spend any money there.

Will definitely come back to this hotel if I visit Mandalay again!

My only issue was the the 10 hours of music and someone talking into a PA at the highest level possible until 10pm. Totally sucked to have to listen to that most of the day and into the night.

Hotel and staff were fantastic. Nice extra touches like afternoon snacks and free cocktails. Also they already anticipated our v early AM departure and had booked packed breakfasts. Loved the telescope in the bar directed at Mandalay Hill and the sheet with useful info on arrival (rather than trawling travel through a big folder). Staff were so friendly and helpful. Downside ..being downtown the noise of traffic was incessant.(triple glazing could help?). They need more hooks in the bathroom. Small complaint but easily rectified. Beautiful hotel.

Good hotel with nice decor

This hotel had great decor and atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and helpful. And the restaurant had good food. I ended up hiring a driver through the hotel to go around to the different sites as not a lot was within walking distance and there really wasn't public transport. However, the driver was reasonable price and a nice option as it was very hot when I visited. You might be able to find a better location but given how spread out everything is in mandalay probably not.

This was a great little hotel right in the centre of Mandalay. The restaurant had great food with Myanmar, Thai, Chinese and western dishes on offer. We are there 3 tim s and we're very happy with everything we ordered and the chef made sure our specific dietary requests were catered for.

The rooms are really nice with comfortable beds, great AC and nice bathrooms.

The only down side is that you can hear any noise in the corridors and when other rooms are being opened as the door locks have a loud chime when opened. But this really is only being super picky and never interrupted our sleep.

The staff are soooo friendly and helpful as well

Beautiful hotel with quirks

Very nice property, great service, excellent restaurant. Nice room.

The only negative thing was the design of the bathroom. The shower was essentially above the toilet so that the toilet became soaked when showering. It was probably a space issue, but very odd, uncomfortable design making it impossible to shower without the toilet getting drenched. It was a base room on the bottom floor, which was the only one available when booking, so maybe higher floors or the better rooms have more well-designed bathrooms.

It wasn't a huge deal and did not take away from the experience of this lovely, pretty hotel. We especially liked the view from the top restaurant at breakfast when they open the windows. Great service, very helpful and attentive staff.

Bagan King is a serviceable hotel. It's comfortable enough and you can tell they're trying hard to be a boutique hotel. There were just a few things that needed some tweaking (the bathroom tiles were faux brick hence I imagine they were hard to clean and I a few stray hairs left over when we walked in.) But service-wise, they were great. Everyone in the hotel was pleasing and eager for you to have a good time. Overall, this is probably your best choice in Mandalay.

Good hotel - be careful of money making!!

Lovely looking hotel. Just like in the photos. But that the price you expect that! It is not in downtown Mandaly - more Royal Mandalay. Which means if you any to eat near the hotel or try a bar you are out of luck. I ate before I came back to the hotel but one night I was hungry by 9pm so ordered a ridiculously privy omelette which didn't come with any bread. When I asked for it they said I had to pay extra!! And then didn't bring any jam like they said. Also was entirely fleeced by the driver service they offer. All I did was ask for recommendations for what to do in 1 and 1/2 days in Mandalay and then they told me I had arrived late and would need to get going if I wanted to see everything they recommended and they would call their driver in. The next thing I know I have him for 1 and 1/2 days and it cost me $75. I later learn the exact same driver and car would have been $10 - $15 if I found them in the street and the drivers receive the same as the hotel pockets all the profit from this. Do not use the hotel driver service. There are drivers on the corner outside your hotel who will offer you their services for much less!

try to get a room without a pillar( which will block your comfort) Some rooms have a pillar in the room which is very awkward and uncomfortable.
The windows are locked and cannot be opened, so a little claustrophobic.
