LOCATION
Excellent location.
In the immediate vicinity of the market, and a few blocks' walk from 82nd/84th and 27th Streets, where you'll find street food for dinner.
The OK Express minibus company (for Bagan, among other destinations) is a 5-minute walk away.
Palace and pagodas are easily accessible by bicycle.
SERVICE
Excellent welcome, despite arriving at dawn. Excellent customer service. They provide a lot of advice.
Excellent work by the housekeeping teams in the rooms and the restaurant.
Excellent attention from the night watchmen.
The sign at the entrance sums it all up: ”It's not a hotel, it's your home.”
ENVIRONMENT
Quiet and safe neighborhood.
A very good quality hotel, well laid out, and very well maintained. Quality furnishings. Spotlessly clean.
ROOM
Standard double room: Sufficient space for one person, perhaps a little small for two.
Bright. Well laid out. Mirror in the bedroom.
Very good quality bedding. Clean, good quality linens. Spacious and clean bathroom. Hot water with good pressure. Good air conditioning. Very good Wi-Fi. Well-placed electrical outlets.
The only thing missing was a dedicated space for luggage.
BREAKFAST
Depending on the number of guests, breakfast is served à la carte or buffet-style.
À la carte: one dish of your choice, one drink of your choice (unlimited tea and coffee), one piece of fruit. For this option, given the abundance of fruit available in Myanmar, I would suggest offering an unlimited fruit salad.
Buffet: Adequately stocked. Hot dishes, fruit, bread, and drinks.
The restaurant is on the rooftop on the 4th floor. Airy and bright, it offers a beautiful view of the city.

Good value for money. Highly recommended. Already saved to my favorites. This is clearly the kind of hotel every traveler would love to find.

I chose Bagan as my first stop for a 5-day trip. After staying there for two nights, I wanted a change of scenery, so I switched to a hotel in Mandalay that a friend recommended as good. However, after just one night, I immediately regretted it and returned to Bagan King. The service there is excellent, and because of its unique location, I didn't want to go around looking for food. The rooftop restaurant is fantastic – I think it's the best and cleanest restaurant I've eaten at in Mandalay. I would definitely choose this hotel again next time. The only minor drawback is that the rooftop restaurant doesn't have air conditioning. I suggest they could add some portable air coolers. I rarely leave reviews!

Guest UserDon't expect anything from the local Five Star News. The hotel's facilities and decoration are similar to those of ordinary hotels. When checking in, the floor is not air-conditioned and it is very stuffy. The check-in process is also a long time and it feels that the management is chaotic. The breakfast is hardly delicious. The only thing that is commendable is that the high-rise view is very good, overlooking the city, after all, it is almost the tallest building in Mandalay.

OlgaZzA luxurious resort right on the banks of the Irrawaddy. Beautiful, well-maintained grounds, a large and clean pool, soft lawns, and helpful staff. Excellent and inexpensive spa. Downsides: breakfasts are weak. The Sakura rooms we stayed in were very modest, though clean, with old towels and peeling plaster. 5 for the grounds, 3 for the rooms and breakfast.

老乘This hotel felt very luxurious, and the staff provided excellent service. The breakfast even included Mandalay cuisine, which allowed us to enjoy local flavors. There's a supermarket nearby, which was really convenient for grabbing anything we needed. I highly recommend this hotel in Mandalay.

HATEOFFICIALThe location isn't close to shops and restaurants but the view nearby is breathtaking. Riding an e-bike around by myself is one of the best travel experiences I have ever had.
The room is beautiful and perfectly decorated, very friendly staff but some facilities are a bit old. The shower doesn't have hot water sometimes.
Breakfast is very good but the restaurant is a bit pricy and not very tasty, not recommended.

The location of the hotel is very successful: we walked to the Royal Palace and looked at all the other sights. Well, when we hired a tuck-tuck to go around the suburbs, it is largely no matter where you are taken from. Around the mass of textile shops, many snacks, on the next street a large fruit shop, in addition, on the next street there were several trucks that traded durian at a throw price (compared to Thailand). There are COCO and AEON drogeries in step-by-step access, where at a fairly low price you can buy both noodles/rice, and a variety of fruits and local specialties. At the same time the place is quite quiet, we were comfortable in the room.
The average size room, cozy, there is air conditioner, teapot, safe. Every day they put the cooker, coffee, but for some reason they don't put the spoons in the bathroom, although the box under them is standing. Cleaning and changing towels every day, the lingerie changed every 2 days. The only thing I can do is that the waitresses are not very attentive, the bathroom ended soap and gel, and since they did not check the capacity, it was necessary to kick. In one day came at 16 - the room was not removed, too. For some reason there is no ”do not disturb” plate and the next morning to us the room broke into the room, it is good that we were both in the bathroom and the door was closed on the chain.
In the evening in 20.00 turn off the light, exactly for a couple of minutes, then turn on. Very weak inno.
Warned that on the last day it would be early to leave - cooked lunch boxing and even water didn't forget. Helped with ordering tuck-tuck for the day we planned to watch the old capitals, negotiated with tuck-tucker. Very nice and friendly.

I stayed at Holidays Pier Hotel for 2 days during my business trip on November 2025 . The room was beautifully and clean. The location was perfect with city view. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay. However, the air conditioning in our room was a bit noisy. Overall, it was a delightful experience.
