How can I get cheap hotels in Bagan?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Bagan

  1. If you're looking to travel to Bagan on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $18. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $69. Staying a short amount of time in Bagan is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Bagan, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Bagan, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Bagan, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a budget hotel in Bagan cost?
Budget hotel prices in Bagan vary, but you can find a great deal from $18 on Expedia. To find the cheapest budget hotels, be flexible with your dates—off-peak and mid-week stays are typically cheaper. Stretch your budget further by looking for hotels with free breakfast, free parking or free airport shuttles. Sort your search results by "Price: low to high" to see our lowest rates.
Which area of Bagan is best to stay in for cheap hotels?
For travellers seeking cheap hotels in Bagan, the area of Nyaung-U offers the best concentration of budget-friendly accommodations. This bustling town is a popular hub, providing a range of guesthouses and smaller hotels that cater to cost-conscious visitors.

Solo travellers will find Nyaung-U particularly appealing, with numerous guesthouses offering affordable private rooms or dorm beds. The town centre is easily walkable, making it convenient to access local eateries, markets, and bike rental shops, which are essential for exploring the temples.

Nyaung-U also serves as the primary arrival point for most visitors to Bagan, with the airport located nearby and bus stations readily accessible.
When is the most affordable time to visit Bagan?
For solo travellers looking for the most affordable time to visit Bagan, the shoulder seasons—late May to early June and late September to early October—offer the best value. During these periods, you'll find lower prices for accommodations and tours compared to the peak season.

While the monsoon season (June to September) sees the lowest prices, it can also bring heavy rainfall that might disrupt travel plans. The shoulder seasons strike a good balance, with generally pleasant weather and fewer crowds. You can enjoy the temples in relative tranquility and often secure better deals on e-bike rentals and hot air balloon rides, which are popular activities for solo adventurers exploring the plains.
Is Bagan a budget-friendly destination?
Yes, Bagan is a remarkably budget-friendly destination, especially for solo travellers and couples seeking a unique historical and cultural experience without breaking the bank.

Accommodation and dining offer excellent value. Solo travellers can find comfortable guesthouses and hostels in Nyaung-U, a bustling town near the ancient temples, while couples might opt for charming boutique hotels that provide a serene base for exploration. Eating at local tea shops and restaurants offers delicious Burmese cuisine at very low prices.

Exploring the ancient temples is also highly affordable. Renting an e-bike is the most popular and cost-effective way to navigate the vast archaeological zone, allowing visitors to discover countless pagodas and stupas at their own pace. Many of these ancient structures offer stunning views, particularly at sunrise and sunset, providing unforgettable experiences that are completely free. The main cost is the archaeological zone entrance fee, which is a one-time charge for multiple days of access.

Typically, booking in advance will help you save on your hotel booking. If you're feeling spontaneous, be sure to check for last-minute deals.
Is it cheaper to book a Bagan hotel and flight package?
Booking a hotel and flight package on Expedia can be cheaper than booking flights and hotels separately. Bundling can lead to significant savings, especially for international travel or when booking well in advance. However, savings vary depending on factors like destination, travel dates, and availability, so it's wise to compare options. With access to over 300,000 hotels worldwide, Expedia makes it easy to build the perfect vacation package.
Can I cancel my budget hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right budget hotel in Bagan for you.
