The hotel is clean. It looks royal and it has a good restaurant. The breakfast spread is really wonderful. It has a collection of Indian continental sushi, Italian, and other cuisines. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Kathmandu Nepal. The staff is very friendly and they go out of their way to help anyone that is there as a guest.

Beautiful hotel with great staff that were really friendly and helpful. Just keep in mind that the building is quite old in a neoclassical style so the amenities weren't quite up to par compared to hotels in major cities.

Where we got the room, there was a lot of noises in the morning. Wake up with the chiseling sound that’s kind of uncomfortable for five star hotel.. i’m sure they’re doing some kind of construction.. . Overall, it was OK.
