Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The hotel is a good budget accommodation for those who want to visit Mandalay. The rooms and especially the bathrooms are a bit old, but all in all, they are clean, and you sleep very well. Good breakfast selection. Despite the frequent power outages, the hotel’s backup generators ensure continuous operation of the air conditioner, thus causing no inconvenience during the stay.

    Everything is okay, typical hostel vibes. Some of the staff are friendly and helpful some are not. The building is old, so the price is alright for what you get. I got a private room with bathroom. Just a word of advice, DO NOT book taxis with the hostel directly. We paid 260,000 for a private car from mandalay to Bagan. We asked the driver and they ONLY PAID him 170k so that means they TOOK and KEPT a HUGE commission!!! Almost 90k ???!? What kind of honest price is that??

    Great bed. Great staff. I liked everything. Also safe to travel in november 2023 to Bagan. You can book car, van or bus to Bagan. They have another hostel there.

    Very nice hostel, clean and well organized. Breakfasts were modest but good. Water and coffee available. I stayed in a private room and in a dorm and both rooms were good. The hostel staff are wonderful and helpful young people. They helped me buy a ticket to the next city, for which I am very grateful. Thank you

    24hours of counter is open. Free coffee and tea (and hot water) are available anytime. I stay in dormitory but can work anytime in lobby.
