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.

The best backpackers I have stayed at”

The three best things about this hostel are: the staff, the quiet atmosphere, and the rooftop

I had a great stay at ace BnB! The staff were all super friendly and it was a real pleasure to have had the opportunity to talk and get to know all of the staff members. I cannot think of any way to improve my stay at ace BnB! I highly recommend taking the day tour offered by the hostel if you have not been to Mandalay before and if you get the chance to, talk to the owner Rocky! He is a great guy and he is always there to provide exceptional customer service and he is open to suggestions and ideas on how to improve your stay. 10/10 would recommend this hostel to a friend and I will definitely come back.

Unbelievably good ”

The staff were some of the nicest people I've ever met and couldn't have been more helpful, everything was brand new and exceptionally clean and the was FREE laundry done for using a washing machine

Ace Star was the best hotel I stayed in, in Myanmar. The staff really did absolutely everything they could to ensure we were happy. Rocky, the owner was a delight to be around, he made an effort to meet all his guests and would hang out with us on the rooftop telling us about his views on Burma. The staff could organise onward travel but we always paid the transport company directly and the hostel never received a cut as Rocky was passionate enough to ensure we didn't spend excess money. The hostel has only been open for a month so everything is brand new including the comfortable beds, very soft towels and very good linen and pillows etc. One of the many features of this place is that they wash laundry for FREE using a washing machine, not by hand. I just gave a bag of clothes to a staff member, left for a day's activities and when I got back they were very clean and hanging on the clothes horse on our balcony. This is the only full hostel in Mandalay, it's cheap, incredibly clean, the free breakfast and meals are good and the staff couldn't be any more helpfull. I cannot recommend it enough. Do yourself a favour and stay here.

Best Hostel to Stay in Mandalay”

Staff, Rooftop, Other Travelers

Ace Star was great - In coming to Mandalay, I had initially booked another spot, but last-minute heard about Ace Star and decided to move my booking over. I'm so glad I did - It was a little tricky to find at first (the taxi drivers from the airport didn't seem to know it), but once we got there, the staff was really welcoming and accommodating. I stayed in the women's dorm, which was really basic (not much storage - you just put your stuff on the floor), but it's all you really need in a hostel. The bathrooms are pretty basic, too, but do the trick. One of the best parts was the rooftop - When I was there, it was a great place to chill and meet other travelers. They serve a good (included) breakfast up there, too, and there's always coffee and tea available. The staff was really helpful in letting us know where to go, how to get there, etc.. And if they didn't know, they helped as much as they could. I ended up meeting a ton of great people here and it seemed like the hostel was one of the main hubs for travelers in Mandalay. The location is pretty central, as well, so we got to do a lot of exploring in the nearby area. It's also right by the train station, so if you plan on taking trains anywhere, it's convenient to buy your ticket in advance (as you often need to). If you're going to Mandalay and are looking for a simple hostel to meet some good people, I highly recommend it!

Staff / Cleanliness / Advice for all requirements

The staff are amazing. I was very sick with fever during my stay and they could not do enough to help me through. The breakfast is basic but adequate. ANY information you need, local things to see or onward travel, they know and it all and go overboard to help. Only downside is the poor wi fi but don't let this put you off because wi fi is poor in the WHOLE of Myanmar. I could not recommended Ace Star highly enough. Visiting Mandalay, stay here , it's not only the only Dorm Hostel in Mandalay but one of the best I have ever stayed in.

Ace Backpacker hostel review”

Rocky the Owner, great roof top breakfast area, and the more than helpful staff

I came back to stay here again just before leaving Myanmar. Rocky the owner came to Myanmar to genuinely help the Burmese people. He employs low income Burmese from villages around Mandalay and teaches them the ins and outs of running a business and also helps them learn English. The staff are very accommodating with helpful ideas for eating out or just traveling around the city. A nice breakfast is served each morning on the 5th floor roof. There also is a complementary washing machine for guest's use. Clothes can be hung out on the roof. On Friday and Saturday nights movies are shown up on the roof. Very good wifi in the morning. Hostel is 10 minutes walk to the train station in case you are thinking about going by train to Hsipaw 4000 kyats. Good restaurants close by. Bicycle rental available besides a daily tour that leaves the hostel that takes you for a sunset on the Annapurra bridge 10,000 kyats

Best stay in my trip!”

The facilities, the staff, the service

i had a very wonderful 2 nights in Mandalay and this hostel was the best accommodation in my trip. the staff were all very friendly, attentive, trying to help. the room, the bed were clean and comfortable. what I enjoyed most was the breakfast time. after all day wandering around, you had a tight sleep and woke up to enjoy some food and tea or coffee in such the pure and fresh air of the morning on the hostel's roof, the breakfast was nothing special but it was the best best experience of my trip, totally relaxed and comfortable. the staff were very nice all the time, they helped me bring my luggage to the room, informed me about the facilities, at the time of leaving, they were also very kind to help me send the postcards (although there were some extra charges i think, but it was really no trouble for me). thanks guys once again for such a beautiful memory i had.

Best value for money, owner is awesome”

The place stands out almost immediately because it is small, but much more modern than the surroundings. Facilities at the place were much better than I've had in other parts of Myanmar, and the breakfast was pretty good. The location is right by the train station and generally walkable to some of the tourist attractions. And the best part is that it's also one of the cheapest places to stay in Mandalay as well. But if you get a chance, talk to the owner. He's a really helpful Singaporean guy who started the hostel so he could create a place to provide for less fortunate people. I won't post too much of his story, but he is a very caring and selfless person. He's pretty low key and doesn't show off much, but I was instantly drawn to his kind personality and wasn't too surprised later when I learned about how meditation (the same vipassana style I happen to practice in fact!) changed his life around and helped him find (or rather, build) happiness.

I got food poisoning during my stay in Mandalay. The staff brought me to buy some medicine and also gave me some bananas to gain energy. I felt so warm staying here. The staff were definitely the highlight of this hostel! They were superb! Besides, its location was excellent, just about 5 mins walking distance from Mandalay railway station. They also arranged one day trip. I didn't join this, but I heard from other travelers that they all recommended it.

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.

Great place to transit through Mandalay”

I stayed at Ace Star on 2 different occasions, once on my way to Bagan, and second to spend a few hours before I flew back home from Mandalay. The hotel staff was extremely pleasant and helpful on both instances. The rooms are comfortable, though the AC was switched off a little early in the morning. The great plus is the terrace and its owner whom I had a chance to interact with. I was quite impressed with his efforts to create job opportunities for the locals. He was also quite flexible, as on my way back, I really just needed to spend 5-6 hours in total in Mandalay, and he was okay with letting me hang around in the terrace free of cost. The hostel also organizes reasonable day trips to amarapur, sagaing, and Inwa and can sort return drops to airport.

Very helpful and kind staff”

Staff team, location, free laundry

I arrived in Mandalay half asleep after the night bus from Yangon without a reservation. The staff were so incredibly welcoming, allowing me to get into the room and sleep right away. They were also very helpful with booking tours / train travel. They even packed me a breakfast because my train was leaving earlier (4am) than the breakfast service time. As far as the room and bathrooms go, it's pretty basic, but free laundry and detergent is a huge bonus considering the price of laundry service in Myanmar. Also, it's within a 2 min walk to the train station and there is a great rooftop balcony area.

Perfect Location For Train Travelers”

I took three train trips, so the Ace Star was convenient for my 4 am to Hsi Paw, my 2:15 pm for Monywa and when returning from Kalaw and Thazi back to Mandalay. Clean, friendly staff, great breakfast on rooftop.

Perfect for mandalay”

Location, Staff, clean

Nice hostel. Staff are great, very clean, free breakfast. Best option in Mandalay! Meet nice people here. Close to supermarket. The only thing I didn't like was that shower and toilet is together, but not big deal! Stay here!!

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.
