( 061-65057; Main Rd; s/d $35/40; )
These stone-clad chalets have an original look
compared with other 'budget' places around Bagan. The interior switches to bamboo and
the clean rooms include a wooden floor and recently renovated bathrooms. All rooms are
set around a tree-shaded courtyard where breakfast is served.
Thiri Marlar Hotel

The teak walkways leading to
the 15 lovely rooms are wrapped around a small pagoda-style dining room, though most
guests eat breakfast on the roof deck with temple views. Spotless standard rooms are
rather compact but inviting, with shiny wood floors and small rugs. Superior rooms are
much more spacious and worth the extra bucks.
Bagan Beauty Hotel
GUESTHOUSE $

( 061-65062; Main Rd; s/d $15/20; )
She's not much of a beauty these days, but this
friendly, family-run guesthouse offers the cheapest rooms in New Bagan. Maybe a
facelift is on the cards, but in the meantime the musty rooms do include air-con and hot
water, plus free wi-fi.
Yun Myo Thu Motel
GUESTHOUSE $
MAP
( 061-65276; 3 Khat Tar St; s/d $20/30; )
Translating rather romantically as 'the lady of
lacquer city', this is a typical Burmese guesthouse that sees few foreigners and is conse-
quently pretty good value for money. The well-tended rooms include flatscreen TV, air-
con and hot water, but there is little English spoken.
