Great Place to stay. Managed by Very Nice & Friendly People”
I first booked one night, just to check it out, then I extended for 3 days and 2 extra days again. All members off the staff are Lovely and helpful. Good wifi and clean hostel. Very close to Mandalay Palace and the train station (Where you can take a very cheap sleeping train to Bagan 5000 Kyat or ordinary seat for 4000 Kyat). Excellent budget restaurants all around.

Great hostel”
I really liked staying here. True, the building is not the most modern and some parts could do with renovations. But the dorm room is really spacious and it has windows, which I really liked since there are so many darkrooms in Indian and Myanmar hostels. Everything is kept clean, there is a nice lobby and lounge area, included simple breakfast and last but not least the most amazing, friendly staff that make you feel right at home! If I come to Mandalay again, I will stay there again. You might just add some curtains on the beds for privacy.

They have AC limitation. No AC in dorms during the day. It can be really HOT! And I think In the whole hostel you can not find a AC SPot to chill your day out. But thankfully, the time I stayed the staff agreed to turn the AC on for me during the day time coz I told him that I won’t eat breakfast tmrw morning so it’s like a trade. Overall the hostel is clean and tidy plus good location. 5 minute walk to the train station.

Good facilities, but staff are STUPID.”
Staff did things like: 1. Cram 8 people into one room, using one toilet, while other rooms were EMPTY. 2. Doing so resulted in me having to use TOP bunk, even though I told them that my health prevented me from climbing the bunk beds. 3. I asked to go to Moustache Brothers. They sent me in tuk-tuk to Marionettes instead. Their English is AWFUL. Unintelligible.

Wonderful days spent at Ace Star”
Ace Star Backpacker BnB was the first hostel I stayed at in Myanmar and it set the tone for my whole trip. I met amazing people at the hostel, also the staff were kind and very friendly. The rooms and the toilets were clean and well maintained. The staff helped me plan my itinerary for the 4 days that I stayed with them. I got to explore some off beaten places in Mandalay thanks to them. Overall it was a fun experience staying at Ace Star and would highly recommend anyone planning to travel to Mandalay. Cheers, Chaitanya.

Not a Hostel, but a FAMILY ! YOU WILL LOVE HERE! ”
Staff in Ace Star definitely the reason I love Myanmar. They wow us for the 2 days 1 night of stay 1. we arrived from Ngwesaung beach > Mandalay , allowed us to check in early (7am) in a rainy day , served with a breakfast of omelette and toast + hot coffee/tea (this already enough to warm my heart) 2. Lady staff named Man san der know our stomach not feeling well,(probably the food and environment is dirty in Yangon a day before). she help us bought a medicine , which help us relief our stomachache 3. Gentleman staff named Moon Shine , chit chat with me at their rooftop while serving us meal. He told me why he like this job , because he feel like a FAMILY when meeting new tourist everyday. When I heard this, I already give this hotel 10/10 score. ATTITUDE DETERMINE EVERYTHING YOU DO. this is why I got the family feel during the stay 4. Before we leave the hostel, the shuttle bus that should arrived at hotel late. we are worried. Gentleman name Phoy, take the initiative to call the bus operator before we even ask him to call. I believe he saw our worried-face in the lobby. His call give us the relief. And we are really sad to leave Mandalay. 10/10 score. P/s: to the owner / management , you need to invest a better horse power A/C, as the 10 bed dorm room is big, 1 A/C will feel not cold. Anyhow I'm okay with the stay. Definitely the reason I would comeback to this town and will ask my friend who going Myanmar next month to stay here.
