Hotel Mariner — Hotel in Bago District

There are not that many midrange hotels to choose between in Bago and I think Hotel Mariner probably is the best choice. The hotel is new, it opened in 2013. I stayed in a standard room.

Yes indeed, location = perfect...ask for a room with view of the main pagoda!, service = very friendly even if some of them have difficulty understanding English! Our room was very spacious and had everything that one expects from a standard room. The price of thirty five dollars was very fair. Oh ...one other thing....just across the road on way to pagoda there is a little stall that sells the best banana cake in the whole of...
