Elisabeth, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

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.

Superior Service

Staff professionalism, courtesy, friendliness and manners make this hotel really stand out! Keep it up I will be back many times. Thanks for room service ginger tea!
Jerome, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff members were incredibly friendly and attentive, always going the extra mile to make sure every need was met. They were knowledgeable about the local attractions and gave excellent recommendations for places to visit. Their professionalism and willingness to assist truly enhanced my stay. One aspect that stood out was the hotel's dining experience. The on-site restaurant offered a wide range of delicious cuisine. The food was always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The attentive staff provided top-notch service, making every meal a memorable experience. Overall, my stay at this hotel in Nepal was beyond exceptional. The combination of stunning surroundings, comfortable accommodations, outstanding service, and delightful dining made it an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Nepal. I can't wait to return and create more cherished memories in the future.
