Great stay and very helpful staff. Does a lot to try and be as environmentally friendly as possible. Only downside was the water pressure in the shower was severely lacking at times, delivering only a dribble.

Such a friendly place. The room was large, with good air con and hot water. It's not luxury but that's not what we expected for the price, and the extra touches such as the homemade soap/shampoo bar and unlimited drunking water were great. The highlights though were how lovely and helpful the staff were, and the breakfast was so good - different hot options every day with always the choice to have toast or waffles as well as fruit and yoghurt. Great value as it's included in the room price.

Amazing stay at Hotel Karuna

It’s a great place for us to stay before starting the Annapurna Base Camp trek and close to the city centre (5mins walk) Had some Pani puri and Dani puri during the happy hour from 4-6 pm everyday.

This hotel says it is family friendly… and it is!!! From the welcoming staff that smile and engage with the children, to toys in the lobby for the kids to play with, the management and staff go above and beyond to meet the needs of their guests! The owners are very involved with the daily running of the hotel and you can get real pour over coffee (not instant!!) with breakfast every morning. We highly recommend to anyone traveling with or without children!
