If you are expecting a 5-star Hotel with excellent view, then you might look for something else - if you are looking for a charming, quality conscious Sino-Burmese Hotel, this is the place to go:

Located just around the corner of the south-eastern end of Mandalay's Royal Palace and a two-minutes walk away from the Mandalay Marionettes Theatre, the Mann Myanmar Inn already convinces by its location. Still absolutely being part of the city centre, it is a perfect starting point for exploring Mandalay's attractions by foot or bike, but gives you a break from the noisier and busier areas.

The hotel itself is in a very clean and healthy state, the builing's condition leaves a good impression (e.g. no damages due to humidity), and the rooms' infrastructure works without any problems. In general, rooms are spacious and services offer you everything you can expect for rates around 25 to 30 US$ per room/day (incl. Breakfast, Phone, Minibar, TV, Aircon, Hot/Cold Water etc).

The best of the hotel, however, is its staff: I have rarely met such a nice and friendly service, eager to sincerely assist you wherever necessary. They will also agree to additionally organise local trips for you, to call taxis and other means of transport, to guard your main luggage when going for a small trip for a few days, or simply to keep your belongings in the reception's safety box.

This smaller family-run hotel provides you with the excellent services particularly for a longer stay when using Mandalay as a base for domestic trips.
