Beautiful hotel. Most welcoming place I have stayed at in many years of world wide travel thanks to the owner/manager Ms. Wa Wa (sorry if the spelling is incorrect). She greets you on arrival and sends you off with her warm and beautiful smile upon departure (even at an early hour of the morning). Special acknowledgment also to the restaurant manager. The entire staff are most courteous and friendly.
Each room is set up as a bungalow with a balcony. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. The bathrooms are somewhat outdated but no problem as everything works fine. Plenty of hot water for the shower/tub combination. Wifi was excellent. The pool is large and well maintained as is the entire hotel complex. The breakfast buffet is good.
I would definitely stay at this hotel again if my travels bring me back to Bagan.
We stayed two nights and it was a relaxing stay with a welcome pool. The wait staff was very attentive in the dining hall and gave us lots of coffee. The breakfast buffet was good.
Lovely hotel. Each room is a separate bungalow with a balcony. The room is huge with a large bathroom and a tub. The pool is a nice addition. But the best thing about this hotel is the staff, and especially Wawa. We arrived early in the morning and they had the room ready for us. They helped us with the bus ticket and with other things as well. It is far from the center but that’s an advantage, because it’s quiet. It is possible to walk to the village which is nearby. Anywhere else you need a ride anyway, so it doesn’t really matter.
We had lovely 2 days in wonderful Bagan and in particular at Ruby True Hotel. The Hotel manger and the entire staff is really kind and fullfills all whishes.
A eScooter was provided to us directly after our arrival at 5h30 am (!) to see the sunrise and we received a room also well early and before official check-in.
Perfect!
Good locality. Near new Bagan. Facilities arranged by hotel staffs like ebike. Van pickup are wonderful. Personal attention provide by manager Ms Wahwah are incredible. Bfast are average reasonable. Will be back.
Wir waren die einzigen Gäste! Trotzdem war die freundliche und sehr aufmerksame Besitzerin sehr bemüht und hilfsbereit, um uns den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Die Zimmer sind ordentlich und von einer akzeptablen Größe mit einer dazugehörigen Terrasse. Sehr ruhige Lage, da sich das Ruby True am Rande des Ortes befindet. Das Frühstück war sehr gut und das Personal sehr bemüht.
Imagine 30+ units scattered in a large and lovingly tended garden, very comfortable beds with excellent linen, and a standard of service rarely found anywhere at a mid-range establishment. During our three night stay early in 2018, my wife and I had the feeling that we were welcome visitors to a friend’s home – the sort of friend who’ll make sure you get good support from your electric bike rental place when the batteries died, and who’ll get up at four a.m. to send you on to the Mandalay boat with a breakfast box in hand.
Yes, the Ruby True’s cottages could use a face-lift; in particular we older folks would appreciate better lighting and brighter walls. The shower head and controls could be updated with individually adjustable apparatus, and there could be more hooks and a larger tray or shelf to hold bathroom gear. The wi-fi signal is strongest near the office and dining room; we suppose there are ways to enhance the signal elsewhere on the property.
We were told that the Ruby True has a new owner who’s planning to renovate. If this is so, pray that the work is done thoughtfully, with care to preserve what makes this inn so delightfully retro.
The Ruby True is probably one of the most charming hotel in Bagan. Not at the center, but in a more quiet part of New Bagan. The bungalows are quite authentic and the staff is very hearty and considerate. We were indeed happy to have chosen this very personal hotel where you feel like becoming part of the family. Also their restaurant is phantastic.
Ruby True is based within New Bagan and is a little far from some of the main sites in Old Bagan. However, as it is likely that you will be using an eBike or cycle this is not really an issue and the peace and quiet of the area is welcome. The hotel is an excellent spot to explore Bagan. the staff are supper friendly and can arrange bike, eBike, Tuk Tuk and various other services to help you see the pagodas and temples. Facilities are very good with nice clean rooms and good showers. Breakfast is excellent and Ms Wah Wah is probably one of the friendliest people you will meet. The hotel really places a heavy emphasis on customer service and support and I would recommend this as a good base to explore a fascinating area.
We had a lovely stay at Ruby True, at a quiet edge of New Bagan, near many monuments. War War, the manager, took us by the arm upon arrival and throughout our stay, at any hour, made every request reality, whether we needed a superb guide, a tuktuk or taxi at any hour, a teapot, or an ebike. She is a fantastic manager. The cottages are old world charming, and everyone on staff is kind and helpful.
