I appreciated the improvements to the rooms I stayed in, compared to past trips. This included such things as better lighting, or better shower layout. Location is fairly convenient to access all things in Thamel, and taxis were readily available at the hotel for daytime excursions. Breakfast was abundant, and staff were universally helpful and smiling. Their friendliness certainly enhanced the comfort and joy of my stay. I have stayed here multiple times in past years and would return!

There were upgrades since the last time I stayed, including for the shower and room decors. Staff was particularly kind and helpful, which certainly influences my review. There is no elevator, but staff are accommodating based on patron needs. I appreciated that this hotel is off of one of the main streets and not on it; noise would be much greater on larger streets. Breakfast was ample for my needs.

Very very good hotel! It is clean, the rooms are spacious. It is quiet. There is a hot shower with a movable showerhead. The staff is friendly, and the breakfast is delicious. They also offer travel advice. The view from the rooftop is beautiful. There is also a restaurant across the street. The location is great, close to Thamel. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Nepal, and I will definitely stay here again when I visit Nepal. Thank you to all the staff.

This place is a hidden gem that I have stayed in on two separate trips to Nepal. There are many places in this price range, but I have found few Who is facilities are so well-maintained. The staff is one of the main reasons I will return. A great location to stay if you’re hoping to be right in the middle of it all in Themal

One of the best reasonable clean hotels.

This is a very cost-effective, family-run hotel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are kept in immaculate clean condition. Shower also had adequate hot water. Bathrooms and toilets are separated by glass doors. Breakfast is reasonable and adequate. I liked the banana pancakes with plenty of honey. Hundreds of restaurants and stores are conveniently located near the hotel. Durbar Square, the center of tourism, is only a 10-minute walk away while you enjoy a stroll downtown. I will definitely choose the hotel the next time I come to Kathmandu.
