Pathein Myanmar – Best Value Hotels and Guesthouses

The accommodation options in Pathein are limited and you will mostly have to choose between a few mid-range hotels that claim to be two or three star venues.

One thing to look out for is whether they have a generator as power cuts happen frequently in Myanmar and it may be that you find yourself without air conditioning or other amenities (like lights) if you choose one of the cheaper options.

Fortunately most of the accommodation options are located in the centre of town so you won’t have to worry about accidentally choosing something on the outskirts of Pathein.

There is also little need to book in advance even in high season as this is a town that rarely gets crowded.

Budget

If you are on a budget then you can opt for the Pammawaddy Hotel which is on Mingyi Street and has small rooms which are in need of refurbishment. These do come with their own small bathroom however with hot water provided and you will also have access to Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Single rooms start at around USD 15.

Mid-Range

One of the best known hotels in Pathein for foreigners is the Htike Myat San Motel which is located on the corner between Maha Bandoola Road and Jail Road (which does indeed house the local jail). The staff here speaks English and you can expect to get a single room for around USD 20 and a double for USD 30. Rooms come with their own bathrooms as well as breakfast and the hotel also has Wi-Fi.

Another option if the Htike San Motel is full is the Taan Taan Ta Guesthouse which has en-suite rooms for USD 20, or you can upgrade to slightly larger and more upscale rooms for USD 25. Wi-Fi is provided throughout the hotel although don’t expect a particularly luxurious experience if you stay here.
