Nice place in Mandalay

Review of Hotel 8
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 30 Jun 2019
Lovely experience in the heart of downtown Mandalay. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast on the rooftop was atmospheric and memorable and the hotel was close to many great restaurants. However, our room window was small and overlooked the side of another building, but we were fine with this given that we were staying only a couple nights. If you're walking, note that the hotel is a bit of a hike to the Royal Palace entrance and the Su Taung Pyae Pagoda.
Date of stay: September 2018
Room Tip: Check out the street-facing rooms for better views.

Stayed here for 4 nights during water festival. Up-graded to a deluxe room. Everything worked fine, no problems. Basic breakfast on rooftop. We both ended up with stomach problems whilst there and we didn't eat anywhere else due to the water festival, but that can happen anywhere as we have found out.

Room tip: We had one at the front,,no noise.

We spent several nights in Hotel 8 and it worked out well. The staff spoke good English and were friendly and helpful. The location is very good with various restaurants within walking distance. Orr room had a fridge, TV and AC. The shower is one of those where you can’t help wetting the whole bathroom but we managed OK. Breakfast was buffet style with a reasonable selection of Burmese and western items. The price was very reasonable and overall it was a fine place to stay.

Cheap and cheerful. Hot water decent location, fine for a quick stopover. Rooms are clean, bathroom are Asian style. Can’t really ask for much more for the price point. Safe location friendly staff. Bring an umbrella!

Stayed twice in a span of a week here. Good rooms and very helpful staff. They arranged a trip to Inn Wa for me and helped with restaurant suggestions. Good breakfast on the top floor as well. Located close to the rail station and near good restaurants and shops. Good option to consider in Mandalay.

Very friendly staff and stellar service!! Reception’s English is really good and they’re very helpful answering any questions. The service at this hotel was amazing.

Room was spacious and clean. Included bed with two pillows, night stands, international outlets, small fridge, desk, chair, kettle, snacks and beverages for purchase, tv (with English channels including some great movie channels), air conditioner, rack to hang clothing, bathroom with toiletries. The bathroom is a wet room style with the shower being the whole room. (Shower head holder was broken though, so you had no choice but to hold the shower head to rinse off; needs to be fixed.)

The hotel offers transport to and from the airport at a standard rate. They have bicycles available for free if you prefer to get around that way in Mandalay. Would recommend hiring a driver or renting a scooter for stuff further than the neighborhood though. There’s a few good local restaurants within walking distance, but you really need some wheels to get around and see the sites.
Western and Burmese food options for breakfast; we always opted for the fresh fruit.

Would definitely stay here again.
