Just before our trip to Bagan we have booked one of the cheapest hotels in town for two night. It turned out to be a huge mistake: after an overnight bus trip at 2AM we got a room made out of shipping container without windows, without hot water, terrible mattress and mold smell, barely could get asleep. Despite booking for 2 nights (non-refundable booking), in the morning we checked out ant went to Ostello Bello, and now it looks one of the best decisions made on this vacation. Seconds after entering the lobby we were offered a proper coffee. As they had the room available, and we looked exhausted after sleepless night, we got a complimentary early check-in. When we stepped into the room, it was no question we are saved – spotless clean and spatious room, large bed with comfy matress, and the hot shower with the proper pressure.
As they have a travel desk, and we already learned a lesson about spontaneous bookings, in the next hour we have made the most of the bookings for the rest of the trip, such as bus tickets, trekking tour. OB have tours every day, a free guided city tours on e-bikes, which was fantastic and exiting experience.
We also have spent the afternoon at the pool at Ostello Bello Bagan Pool – friendly staff (special thanks to Nyein Nyein). Those experiences left no doubt we need to choose Ostello Bello Inle Lake for the last leg of the trip.
In conclusion, you get A LOT for the price you pay at OB, it is totally worth every penny!
