The best place for backpackers in town! Its a very new and clean place, with a nice rooftop(bar). Probably one of the best and own places to hang out at night with lots of young people, games, music and free cigars!
We really enjoyed our stay at this place. Like every Ostello Bello, there is a nice rooftop to chill at night.
The place is well staffed, great place to book everything and get handy advices.
However we found the food pricey and way under what we could have found for half the price anywhere else.
Nice and fun staff, awesome rooftop bar with nice view over Mandalay and to Mandalay Hill. The double and two bed rooms we had were clean and spacey with a nice bathroom, big and strong shower. There is free water, coffee and tea available the whole day. It's located close to the palace and a few good restaurants. The hostel also makes great spaghetti.
Great and clean rooms, slept in a dorm for one night and a private double room for the second. Nice staff and good social areas to meet other backpackers. Nice rooftop bar.
OBM is the place to be in Mandalay and Mattia is the guy to ask. He is the best: super nice and helpful. Both staffs, the local and the international ones, are also great. Rooms are clean, food is good and they really make you feel at home when you're far from home.
If you want to take a ride and visit the city ask at the travel desk for Gipsy, the number one motorbike driver in town :D
Great Hostel and great to meet new people. Well priced. Breakfast could be better but can’t complain when it’s free. Each night they have special events which was very fun. You can book tours from the hotel which I recommend, especially the day tour which was amazing.
Nice Place. Really nice staffs and a good roof top bar to chill
Best hostel in all the mayday area!! book a room to enjoy the amazing atmosphere of the best hostel in the world and the rest yourself in a premium hostel room!
definitely worth the price!
Really cool place. I didn't spend the night there but I did spend a day in their common room. The reception was nice enough to allow me in to spend a couple of hours to work in the shelter, away from the harsh sun of Mandalay and they had some nice music and a very good atmosphere in general. Tip: if you want good network coverage, stay close to the windows.
The great rooftop makes this hostel. Great place to socialize and meet people. Good for solo travellers.
Had an awesome time here and made lot's of new friends. Location is fine, in the middle of the town and I worked to most of the key sights. They have in house tour organisers who arrange trips and transport which was very convenient. Had a great time visiting the Moustache brothers comedy show. Roof top bar was also good fun.
Real Myanmar helping atmosphere. Really helpful, correct and they have really good breakfast and e-bikes! Service is top!
Backpapers rip-off! We are travelling for quite some time now in Myanmar, but never had such a greedy-run hostel. Even when you arrive at 6:00am in the morning they charge you full-price for some dorm beds, if you want to lie down for a few hours and even if there are plenty available (low season).
As most of the backpapers in Myanmar are travelling by nightbus get ready to get ripped-off right at your late night arrival at this hostel!
Very helpful and cheerful staff. Very clean. Great food. That's how to run a hostel. Great vibe!
A party style hostel. Decoration is nice. Staffs are friendly.
The hostel was super clean, it has all a backpacker needs to feel comfortable. Free clean towels and soap, activities everyday, decent bed and facilities in the room, a good rooftop and a very nice location (although I would still use a Mototaxi because the distance between attractions in Mandalay can be significant). Its really social and you can meet fellow travelers easily. The personnel is attentive, they can get you all you need to continue on on your trip. They have good food and beer, but if you feel like eating out, there are a few good options at walking distance too.
Very nice place to stay with travellers enjoing days and night. The only one place in Mandalay to eat a good pasta alla carbonara! very helpful staff and special Italian atmosphere
Very nice and clean hostel with friendly and helpful people.
The food and cocktails are great. 😊👍
One can tell that Ostello Bello was designed by someone who has done a fair bit of backpacking themselves.
The rooms are clean and spacious with en suite bathrooms. The lounge downstairs / reception is a hub for planning activities, using laptops (can be asked for!) and drinking coffee and tea (on the house) while chatting with fellow travelers. Come evening time, there's a great rooftop to enjoy a beer, a smoothie and the panorama.
5 stars for the atmosphere, cleanliness, well-thought out layout and organisation, and competitive price, as well as great breakfast.
This place is good! Nice rooms (though ours smelled like smoke) good wifi and ok location. They have a nice commons area and Cafe on the main floor and a rooftop area too. Breakfast is included and quite tasty.
The most friendly hostel in the country. Later found out that this is Ostello Bello Chain hostel from Italy. No wonder they could manage that much. Shared air-conditioned room with shower and toilet attached to the room. Complimentary breakfast - local dishes with bread and butter and jam, plus free coffee and tea the whole day. Very friendly staff and great service. Warm and active atmosphere there.
You can also enjoy very authentic spaghetti and pasta there.
They've got a Pasta Sharing program - provide free pasta to everyone at 7:45 pm every night.
Strongly recommended.
