    They give snacks such as fruits and juice when i back from walking around town. Staffs very helpful ”

    The buffet breakfast was worth as they served different main menu every day. They also served nutella, peanut butter, honey and jem for toast bread. Many fruits served for breakfast. Overall cleanliness is good and worth for money. All staff very helpful and nice to guest. They allowed me to stay at the lobby after my check out, from night time until next morning to wait my train time to hsipaw on the next morning at 4am. Unfortunately i missed the train because i overslept at the lobby and didn't ask the front desk staff to wake me up before the train schedule. That was my mistake. They also provide a few option of activities to do in mandalay with share cost basis for taxi or by motobike. Overall i love stayed in Downtown @ mandalay and hope to come back again.

    It is well located in Mandalay. Their breakfast was pretty good with noodles or rice and bread and so many different kinds of spreads. They will refill water bottles for free which is nice for me and the environment. The dorm room is set up nicely with plenty of room to put your stuff. The staff was really kind to even order us a pizza and had great customer service. I would definitely recommend.

    Start biking!”

    Please do rent a scooter and/or bikes while staying in Mandalay. Discovering the surrounding cities by scooter is so much more fun and easier than by tour! And it’s not that difficult nor dangerous. And to discover Mandalay itself, please rent bicycles. It’s easy and fun and you get to see so much more intimate details of the city. The hostel rents out decent bikes and serves good breakfast. It was the first on our trip to serve peanut butter and Nutella! The staff was helpful and kind. Although they didn’t have a water refill station in the shared area, they were kind enough to refill our bottles in their kitchen, so that we didn’t have to buy more plastic then necessary.
