Ideally located in Mandalay which is a very vast and spread out city, 2 blocks from the moat and within the most active and vibrant area in town (NOTE: I am talking about Myanmar, not Thailand!). The formerly named Hotel Rama is quickly becoming the local hub, with a nice rooftop sunset drinks hang out, free pasta tasting (just tasting, but try their food menu which is excellent) fantastic staff, newly renovated rooms and finally showers our way (NO leaking or spraying all over the bathroom). What do you want more?
Mandalay itself has lots of attractions but you need to walk/drive a bit, I extended 2 nights but I still did not see half of them. With the 4 flights cheap direct flights now, and more to come from Bangkok I am sure I will be back at Ostelo Bello!
