Great for our stay in Mandalay”
Hotel 8 was perfect for our brief stay in Mandalay. The hotel is walkable from the train station (we took the overnight bus from Yangon - you can alight the bus at the train station before it goes to the bus station which is further out from town so be sure to ask bus staff and get off at the Mandalay train station). There are a few good dining options nearby - we really enjoyed a local Indian street food place which was quite busy with locals and a few tourists. The hotel facilities are good - nice breakfast on the rooftop each morning. Staff are very considerate and helpful though English skills are limited at times (not unusual for Burma). We received a room upgrade upon our arrival and were really pleased with the quality, size and amenities of the room. Free bottled water and a kettle for tea/coffee, hot shower, hair dryer, AC, good quality linens and a comfy bed! The hotels is also nice and quiet at night, something we haven't always found in our stays across SE Asia so we got much needed good quality sleep. We'd definitely come back here if in Mandalay again.

Good value with free bike rentals”
We had a great few days at Hotel 8. We arrived in the afternoon from Bagan and were delighted to hear that our room had been upgraded. The room itself was clean and tidy, with a good sized bathroom. The only downside would be that the TV reception is patchy at best but that's not too much of an issue to most travellers. The breakfast is the usual pre-cooked buffet assortment of eggs, toast and fruit with Burmese soup for the adventurous amongst you. Hotel 8 is located about 10-15 minutes walk West of the train station which is good for anyone thinking of arriving by train or catching the 4am Lashio train to see the Gokteik viaduct. It is also near Zeygo market with a lively night market on 84th Street starting around 6pm. However, it does mean that the most frequently mentioned restaurants on Tripadvisor and other review websites/blogs are the other side of 78th Street and will need a cab, motorbike taxi or bike to get to. Luckily, Hotel 8 provides free bike rental! However, be aware that the bikes do not have lights. Overall, we were please with our choice of hotel for Mandalay and we would definitely consider Hotel 8 again should be find ourselves back there. The staff are extremely nice and helpful; they booked our bus tickets, helped us call our taxi driver and even tried to help us change our next hotel booking when we needed to.

Super clean and amazing staff! ”
Hotel 8 has amazing staff who go above and beyond to make you comfortable and to make your stay great! This is an incredibly clean hotel and right in the heart of Mandalay. My husband and I had to do quite a bit of work (ecommerce on computer) while we were there, so we didn't walk around too much outside of the hotel, and would get a taxi to a great Indian restaurant each night. Breakfast is good and there are a few things they vary each day which is nice if you are there for more than a day or two. Each day was noodles, fried rice, fried eggs, tomatoes, potatoes, toast + butter/jam, coffee, tea. Each day there was a variation of local type of soup or porridge as an option too. If we were in Mandalay again I would stay for a reliable clean option (clean bathroom + hot water too)! Also - WiFi was exceptional - we were working on several devices both day and night and it was great.

Stayed twice at this great hotel! ”
Perfect hotel for a stay in Mandalay! We stayed at the beginning of our trip and returned before leaving because it was so good. The rooms are large, clean and comfortable with good a/c. Every staff member was extremely nice and helpful! We used their free bicycles to visit Mandalay Hill and Royal Palace. They booked a taxi to the U-Bain bridge for sunset and to the airport at great prices (no hotel markup); gave great restaurant recommendations and showed us to the money exchange and atm. Breakfast on the roof terrace was also enjoyable. Overall excellent value and service - great welcome and goodbye to Myanmar. Will definitely return on our next visit!

Great choice and value for money!”
Hotel 8 is very well located near various restaurants, markets and banks. The staff are all really kind, smiley and helpful. You can rent bycicles for free or a motorcycle for a very reasonable price (especially in Mandalay, taxis are over-priced and other options are very often expensive). The room was clean and quite new, the bed was good, the breakfast had enough choices.. everything was satisfying. I would love to recommend this place!

A great value for the price”
This hotel has a great price value ratio. It looks like a new hotel with helpful staff. I read some reviews that the breakfast is not the best, however I found it great to enjoy my morning on the roof top. Probably others expect something like scrambled eggs, toasted bread and butter, as it seems like a standard "western style" breakfast here in Myanmar, but I think this hotel puts more effort in their asian style breakfast than any other hotels. I would like to stay here definitely again when I am back in Mandalay.

Treated like royalty”
The staff here are super friendly and helpful. They gave us advice on where to eat, we managed to rent a motorbike from here so we could take ourselves out to U-Bein Bridge. And you get free bicycles to explore Mandalay Palace area. Its not easy walking and the roads are chaotic with bikes but its safe and the locals genuinely look out for you. Breakfast served on the top floor which is great to get some fresh air and enjoy the view - tip climb up the spiral staircase at sunset/sunrise for lovely view. The hotel is a little dated but is very clean and comfortable. Location is good - there's not much in Mandalay and places are a bit spread out so we found here just fine. We found a couple of friendly beer station eateries - love the fresh draught beer 800k a glass.

Highly recommended!”
We loved our stay at Hotel 8! The staff is very kind, friendly and helpful and always welcomes you with a smile. We did not really have fixed plans for Mandalay and the staff was super helpful in suggesting places to eat and to go. The facilities are great too! Our room had a lot of daylight and a big bathroom, everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was very good. There were a lot of different options (fried rice, veggies, toast, eggs, fresh fruits and freshly brewed coffee etc.). We would always come back here!

Friendliest staff on our whole journey”
Hotel 8 offered us everything we needed. Our room was big, new and clean. The breakfast on the roof was delicious and every staff member was incredible friendly. We never experienced such friendliness in a hotel before. I totally recommend to stay in this hotel and discover wonderful Mandalay. The hotel also offers free bicycles :)

Very attentive and friendly staff, clean rooms”
Hotel 8 is ideal for a stay in Mandalay. It is perfectly located, it is clean and the staff very helpful. They organise everything you ask them. We arrived on my birthday and after checking my passport they came back with a birthday cake. The buffet breakfast is tasty, and offers a variety of choies. We had a wonderful stay at Hotel 8 (7 nights) and even extended one day.

Extraordinary”
Our stay at the Hotel 8 was really extraordinary. The staff is very helpful and answer all your questions in a good English. Rooms are very clean and so does the bathroom. If you stay at this hotel I advise you to eat to the SHAN MA MA restaurant which is 5 min walk from the hotel and which is just incredible. I highly recommend you this hotel if you plan to stay at Mandalay.

Best Hotel for the Price!”
This is not a fancy hotel but for $20 a night, it's awesome! The room was spotless ( I felt as if I could eat off of the floors). The air conditioning had a few issues but it cooled extremely well. The hotel had removed our tv to move it to another room since it's tv had broken. It looked bad to see all the loose wires and I guess they realized how ugly it looked. The hotel quickly resolved the issue. They went out and bought a new tv to install in our room! It was huge! For being a $20 a night hotel, the breakfast was amazing. But, the BEST thing, and I can't emphasize this enough, about this hotel is its staff. We were only going to be in Mandalay for a night. We arrived by plane very near sunset. Watching the sunset at Ubien bridge was our sole purpose for going. We needed a taxi asap. Also, I was worried about how we would get from Mandalay to Bagan the following morning. In, and I kid you not, less than 2 minutes, the staff at this hotel had organized everything!!! A+++

Exceptional service with one hiccup”
We had a great stay at Hotel 8 and raved about it to fellow travelers while in Mandalay. The rooms are spacious and clean, the breakfast is both filling and tasty, and the staff treated us great. Our only negative came at check out time, with two issues: They make you stand at the reception desk waiting to leave the hotel while a staffer physically goes to your room to make sure you didn't break anything before permitting you to leave... isn't this what having a credit card on file is for? Second, they forgot to arrange the early-morning taxi to the pier we had requested on the previous day. Not a huge deal ultimately, but the combination of both issues meant we left later than hoped.

Great Stay in Mandalay!”
Our stay in Mandalay was great at Hotel 8. Situated right in downtown, within walk-able (or cycle-able) distance to the main attraction sites. Plus, bicycles are available for all guests to use (lucky they fit tiny people like me). It was also great that breakfast was served :) The staff at the hotel were also very helpful and attentive. All in all a great stay :)

Good stay”
When the driver told us we were here I couldn't believe it. Coz the address said central Mandalay. But this is it, 2nd largest city in Myanmar yet so run down. We were immediately greeted by hotel staff and given an intro to the main attraction sites on the map, which we found very helpful. Try to ask for higher floor coz the 1st floor is close to the reception on the ground floor and you can hear their phone ring. A mini mart and a clinic is just opposite the street. And a 24-hour hospital across the street which came in handy when we were both sick. Hotel staff was so kind that she accompanied me to visit the doctor. This is what I love Myanmar the most. People are always smiling and willing to lend a hand.

Exceptional”
2 persons in all. Reserved one twin room. Position is quite convenient. People there are all very kindly with smile always and willing to communicate with you. Cleaness of room and floors are satisfying and clerks are very careful. Air conditioning works in good performance. WIFI is stable.One only minor shortcoming is that the breakfast is a little simple without change. Maybe it is the fact to Myanmar persons but if it enrich its style is more attractive to foreigners. A nice experience in the hotel! So on Apr.2-Apr.4 we lived the hotel again when back to Mandalay.

Excellent Customer Service and Best Offer in Agoda!”
We got this room for for less than 15usd. Room is very nice and they also serve buffet breakfast. We are truly satisfied with our stay. Hotel also helped us to book our bus ticket to Bagan. I almost forgot my mobile phone at the Lobby but they are all helpful. After our tour, we even cameback and they offered a cold towel and a welcome drink again. All staff are highly commendable and truly beats the five star Hotel for offering wonderful service. I highly recommend this Hotel in Mandalay.

Best choice in Mandalay”
When the subject is Mandalay, one have to bear in mind the lack of infrastructure still present in the second largest city of Myanmar. That said, Hotel 8 is an oasis and the staff very friendly. I recommend Hotel 8 when in Mandalay.
