We stayed here for 4 nights and were really very satisfied. Warm welcome from very friendly, good english speaking staff. Room was spotlessly clean. Took a bit for warm water in the shower. Breakfast on 5. floor was very good and varied daily. 5 different warm choices, soup, fruit, brown bread or toast, jam etc. Staff were always helpful for bookings or taxi and information. Good location in North part of town near palace and not far to Mandalay Hill or boat jetty.

Really enjoyed our stay at Hotel 8. Stayed 3 nights with friends, 3 rooms. It is a bit of quite in a busy city. Rooms are big, clean, comfortable and well serviced. Hot water was good, had to wait for it, and bathroom huge. Could do with some safes in the rooms however. There is a lift in this 6 story building.
Staff are very friendly and helpful. Speak good english. Breakfast was excelent with views of the city from the top of the hotel.
Can definitely recommend this place and would stay here again.

I had a great time at hotel 8, the value for money is excellent.
Don't expect a 5* hotel but my room was cleanand the hot shower had good pressure.
What was really excellent was the service offered, the management(Yadanarq) worked really hard to find me a way to go to Mrauk-u. As I was leaving early (2AM), they even gave me a breakfast box and did my laundry urgently.
If you need to go around Mandalay, they will always consider your safety by hiring good drivers aswell.
So far, after 3 weeks in Myanmar, that was the best hotel service I've got offered and couldn't recommend more this hotel.
Dear Mr. Alexis Bonnet,

After having read all the positive reviews on Hotel 8, we decided to stay here for 4 nights. To me, this hotel is a bit overrated though. The rooms are basic and no-frills, really nothing special. The bathroom was rather old and a bit run down. It took each time several minutes for warm water to come out of the tap, resulting in water wastage. Also, there was no way to clean the water on the floor after your shower and your bathrooms remains flooded for hours. We got new towels every day, and each time they were packed in plastic! Not very environmentally friendly!
If you stay in the fifth floor as we did you can enjoy sone nice views over the city. Bring earplugs, as it is very noisy in the morning when kitchen staff arrives and starts preparing breakfast. The staff were always very friendly and helpful and their service was the best thing of this location. On the other hand, much cold be done in the interior of the hotel in order to look a little bit more inviting,
Dear Nadine Andrea,
Thank you so much for choosing Hotel 8!
Please accept my apology for your inconvenience while you stayed with us. I will find out solution for your suggestion things as fast as I can. Our hotel has two change boiler systems for hot water so some time took long minutes for hot water. We were packed towel with plastic for cover from dusty .I need to make some training and instruction for my staff it was my responsibility and please give favor us.
I promise I will take care all of our future guests for their stay to have good memories.
Would like to see you again
Yours sincerely,
Nan
Staff was super friendly and helpful. They have even gave us Xmas present - small handmade bag with elephant. It was so lovely, we have got for the first time in our lives present from the hotel staff :) Hotel was quiet, wi-fi was stable and fast, A/C in the room was working wery well. Staff organized the bus to Bagan, but what we didn't liked, we have asked 2 hours later check-out than official time is declared and hotel asked for these 2 additional hours almost half of the regular stay for one day. Of course, we refused.
Breakfast was a disaster - it was the worst breakfast in our travel around Maynmar. When we came to eat the breakfast in the first morning, it was fun situation: we were standing and looking to each other by saying: "What to eat here?" I will try to upload the picture: there were only rice, noodles (pasta), not properly cooked omelette (egg yolk was not even hardened), potatoes, cooked corn and some kind of vegetarian stuff. That's it, folks! No meat, no eggs, no cheese - nothing. Only basic rice, corn, potatoes and so on :) Enjoy your meal if you'll find what to eat here :)
Hotel offers free bikes to ride in the city, but they looks terrible - old and unrealiable. When we asked how to lock the bike, one of staff members couldn't even properly lock and unlock the padlock on the bike. So we decided to go on foot, because nobody of us wanted to ride so old and scary bike.
Location of the hotel is bad. It's far away from everything (and I don't understand why people are saying, that the location is very good). It's not true. Mandalay Palace, Kuthodaw Pagoda and Mandalay hill with all the pagodas are 3-5 km away. I am not talking even about the distance to U-Bein bridge. It's sad to say, but I wouldn't stay in this hotel if I would come to Mandalay again. There much better places to stay in Mandalay.
Dear Mr/Mrs.Setonas,
Thank you so much for your choosing with us!
I really so sorry for your stayed with some upset things with us. According your comment I need some more training and knowledge for my staffs. I will try to change my management to have the best feedback from our guests.
I really appreciate for your reviews with us.
Best regards,
Nan
