; 4 Thiripyitsaya; s $20-40, d $25-45; )
One
of the best all-round budget hotels, the New Park is tucked away in the leafy backstreets
off Restaurant Row. The older rooms, with bungalow-style front decks, are comfortable,
wood-floor set-ups, with spic-and-span bathrooms. The newer wing brings more space, a
fridge, TV and even a rain shower.
Eden Motel
GUESTHOUSE $
( 061-60812; Anawrahta Rd; r $15-25; )
Spread over three buildings and split in two
by the busy road to the airport, Eden isn't exactly paradise. The best rooms are found in
the newest Eden Motel III and include flatscreen TV and a well-appointed bathroom with
a bathtub. The young staff are quite attuned to backpacker needs.
May Kha Lar Guest House
GUESTHOUSE $
( 061-60907; Main Rd; s $13-20, d $18-28; )
One of the more appealing budget op-
tions on the main road, the reception includes lots of handy traveller info and a shrine
room. On the ground floor the cheap, gaudily tiled rooms are compact, with air-condi-
tioning, ceiling fan and attached bathroom. Nicer upstairs options have wooden floors
and TV. The cheapest singles and doubles share the bathroom.
Winner Guest House
GUESTHOUSE $
( 061-61069; Main Rd, Wetkyi-in; s $9-20, d $15-23; )
This little family-run guesthouse
on the road to Old Bagan is one of the old school cheapies. Bargain basement rooms
share the common bathroom. A new wing at the rear includes air-con and a private bath-
room. Another advantage is that it is somewhat nearer the temples than the average
Nyaung U address.

Main Rd; s $25, d $30-50; )
An interest-

Chinese-like exterior is essentially an old hotel with minimal upgrades. It's only worth
