I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms are pretty cheap and located in a great area with neat and clean facilities. However, there were some issues like mushrooms on the walls and worms in the bathroom. The hot water valve in the washbasin was problematic, making it hard to use hot water for washing.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel in Thamel, Kathmandu. The rooms were clean and comfortable but a little cold at times. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful, even going out of their way to ensure my TV reception was fixed. The hotel's location is excellent, near the center of shopping and restaurants but tucked away off the main street for a quieter experience. The dining options were satisfactory with cooked-to-order meals, though a bit limited for vegans.

The hotel's location is superb, central to the bustling Thamel area with great dining options nearby. The rooms are clean and well-equipped, though some are larger and more comfortable than others. The service is a mix of impolite and helpful staff. The rooftop terrace dining experience offers delicious food but requires climbing lots of stairs. The facilities are adequate with some room for improvement.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms are very cheap, with air conditioning, located in a prime spot. They're large and comfortable, with a hot shower, and the staff is incredibly nice. The only downside was the issue with the hot water valve in the wash basin, which made it impossible to use hot water for washing my face or brushing my teeth.
