This hotel is reminiscent of a Balinese resort, with its lush landscaping dotted with stone sculptures, and single storey buildings with wooden floors and high ceilings. The location is excellent: just outside the Tharabar Gate to the old city. The hotel's restaurant is overpriced, but there are many more affordable options just across the road. On the whole, very highly... More

The Tharabar gate hotel earns high marks for great management, well-designed rooms and a great location. After looking around at other propertis in the area, this would the only place I would stay. The rooms are furnished in dark hardwoods with high-quality white linens. There is ample desk and counter space to relax, put one's bag or Skype The water... More

We arrived by coach just after 5am from Rangon, leaving at 8pm the previous evening. Comfortable seats & a reasonable amount of sleep, to then be met by awaiting horse & carts to take us to the pagoda just across the road from the hotel, for a lovely sunset - with an amazing view of the hundreds of pagodas across...

We stayed at the Hotel @ Tharabar gate for three nights. We were a group of three friends and our goal was to see Bagan and not chill out by the pool, so keep that mind. The hotel has a great atmosphere and has been decorated in what I'll call "faux-Bagan-meets-Bali" and it works nicely. The room we had was... More

This hotel is perfectly located right next to the old city wall & Tharabar Gate. It’s set back from the main road, in a beautiful & peaceful lush setting. The rooms are large suite rooms with teak floors and front outdoor patios. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Lush grounds, outdoor bar surrounded by trees, dim lighting and the... More

A very nice stay - spacious room, lovely staff. We only had breakfast in the restaurant as there were eating choices outside the hotel which were much more competitively priced, but breakfast was good with many choices. Pool was really pleasant. It was very green on day 1 of our trip but much clearer on the 2nd and 3rd day.... More

We booked thru agoda.com. Our room was ready upon arrival around 7:45am. We were welcomed warmly and brought out some refreshments. We were showed to our room. ROOM... More

We agonised about where to stay for our 3 nights in Bagan, new or old, on the river… but we were so happy that we chose Tharabar Gate. One of the best hotels we had through our 3 week visit to Myanmar. From the warm welcome with cool towels and drink, to the greetings and offers of assistance whenever you... More

The location was absolutely ideal for exploring Old Bagan and bikes were available for $5 per day to travel to New Bagan. The amenities were great and the staff was amazing. There was free wi-fi on two separate networks with speeds that easily allowed us to send or upload pictures. There was some renovation going on but noise seemed minimal.... More
