Overall I don’t know that I recommend this hotel. First, the good: the entire staff was super friendly and accommodating, it was easy and reasonably priced to book a private taxi through the hotel for day trips, and the breakfast buffet was really good. The bad: it was next to impossible to get any sleep during our three night stay. The walls are paper thin so you hear everything next to and above you. It’s also located on a busy street and next to train tracks (with constant honking by both until late at night and beginning before sunrise), as well as located next to a middle school. I’m not sure if it was due to a holiday or special event, but we were awakened by scores of children on microphones, shouting, and playing instruments beginning at 8am. If you are anything short of a very heavy sleeper, you will struggle.

Disgusting Hotel

This is the dirtiest hotel I have ever stayed at. I expected a budget hotel, but I was shocked to see how dirty this place was. The sheets had stains. There were stains on the walls. There was literally a used tissue with a blood stain on it being used to hold up the glass top of the bureau. They provided flip flops for the bathroom that were very dirty. My husband slept in his clothes, because it was clearly a very dirty room.

A comfortable stay

Nothing spectacular however delivered comfort together with a decent breakfast for AUD35. This compares to a nearby hotel I paid AUD45 that was more comfortable but had to move from because of noise; trains and karaoke bar. If worried about getting woken by the trains, ask for a room away from the road. Hotel offers a small roof top resturant to enjoy a drink and meal in the evening

RUINED OUR TRIP TO MANDALAY!!!!

Ruined our stay in Mandalay!! We asked for a taxi for the day to see 2 waterfalls but we were taken to other locations where we dod not want to go. Driver eventually found a waterfall but not the right one. Managers attitude when we complained was not helpful and would only give small discount on the price. It was our last day so could not do the trip next day. Rooftop bar is nice but the room is small and dated. Bathroom a bit old and grubby but decent price for central location.

Friendly staff and good value hotel

Friendly staff who speak a bit of English and always try to help, easiest way to get around is by taxi as the sights are spread around so no ideal one place to stay. Breakfast was ok, room not massive but for the price it was perfectly adequate.

Good budget hotel with rooftop bar.

Decent size room with fridge, tea/ coffee and free water, very hard bed tho. Lift was handy so we didn't have to climb stairs. Had lovely rooftop bar and indoor resturant with good prices and good food. Lovely helpful staff. Ok location,close to train station. we walked to the royal palace but got completely stuck in traffic trying to cross South Moat Road so take care if your walking there as there are no footpaths and lots of traffic.

Cheap spot to stay for a night or two

I stayed for just one night before flying out to Bangkok. The staff were friendly and had some good restaurant recommendations. They were also able to book me a quick trip to Mandalay hill, which was a nice way to finish the day.

Interesting area

When the taxi brought us from the airport we were concerned about the area the hotel was in, there were many street stalls and vendors - it added to the atomosphere. We walked for several blocks around the hotel and felt quite safe. The staff were very helpful.

An OK budget hotel, but there are probably better

An OK budget hotel, but there are probably better options. Pros: - Friendly and helpful staff (of course) - Location seemed pretty central with plenty of eating options. Near the railway station and palace complex - Nice roof terrace with views in 3 directions across the city. Free cocktail during happy hour. Cons: - Room seemed small, cramped and badly arranged: double bed pushed against 1 wall and under a window, not much floorspace around the bed. But was clean and with nice views from the upper floors - Drinks were pricey after you'd been lured with the free cocktail. - Worst breakfast in 3 weeks. OK if toast and jam is your thing, but the savoury bain marie options were tepid at best, so didn't risk it. We were fed up with omelettes by then. Of course, the internet was rubbish: this is Myanmar so doesn't count as a con. We found elsewhere the next time in Mandalay, but missed the roof terrace.

a bit run down

Our room had ants. The staff came with bug spray but it didn't help. More just came. They couldn't change our room that night. Fortunately we were a party of 6 so slept in another room. They changed our room the next morning. The hotel is a bit run down, as Mandalay as a whole is. The staff were good and did what they could, but the hotel just needs a good clean. They should hire better cleaners / housekeeping team.
