Can’t rate this hotel more highly. It’s in a great location in the centre of Thamel, so good for being able to get around the city. The room was very clean and the staff very courteous. I indie had to extend my stay by a week due to the outbreak of war in the Middle East, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and understanding. I highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting and need somewhere to stay.

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!

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

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.

EXCELLENT STAY, 10/10!!! The staff is so nice and location is great! We went to EBC trekking for 12 days and they kept some of our luggages while we were away. We came back after our adventure for our last night in Katmandou and we had an excellent service. We recommend this hotel.

It's affordable but they will treat you like you're a 5 star client. Pro-tip if you're sight seeing or need a cab they can hook you up with the best deal!
