    The staff and manager were extremely nice and helpful. The room which had been reserved for us was nice but it had some smoke smell, despite being a non-smoking room. When we complained about it, it was immediately agreed and a solution was looked for in order to accommodate us. We were upgraded to a very nice room, even larger than the first one. The hotel is located at the limit of Thamel. Although in a very busy area, it is very quite thanks to being at the end of a small alley. The manager also gave us a lot advice about our travel, and they agreed to keep our luggage while we are travelling out of Kathmandu. I strongly recommend this hotel.

    I felt incredibly comfortable at the hotel and enjoyed my stay so much that I decided to extend it by two additional days. The staff was exceptionally friendly, always attentive, and welcoming. I had many memorable moments with the hotel manager, who was not only professional but also genuinely warm and approachable, took the time to sit at my table and chat. The hotel’s rooftop quickly became one of my favorite spots. I spent a lot of time there, sitzing in the sun, reading a book. The view from the rooftop was stunning. The location of the hotel is also very good. My room was clean, well-maintained, and even equippe a hairdryer. A special thank you also goes to the receptionist Bandana Sapkota, who was very, very friendly and kind.

    We liked everything about this hotel, however one thing to be aware of is that the shower is not separate from the sink/toilet area in the bathroom. This was a surprise to us and different from what we are used to, but it turned out not to be a negative - the water was plenty warm and there was good water pressure. Just make sure to close the toilet lid before you shower. My husband did not :-).

    We were very pleased with this hotel. I don't think you could find a better value. It exceeded our expectations for the price. The staff were always pleasant and helpful. The location was wonderful - right in the heart of Thamel, yet tucked away enough that it was quiet in the room. The room was plenty spacious and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was basic, but better than most 3-star hotels in the U.S. - there were boiled eggs and other warm food options. It would have been even better up on the rooftop terrace, which is open in the warmer months. We still went up there and enjoyed the views of the city from this quiet and quaint spot.

    Breakfast options didn’t have soy milk (alternative milk) so were unable to eat there.

    Comfortable bed, location was convenient for us in Thamel, rooms were clean, wifi works well. Was very quiet at night time. We were able to leave our bags behind for 3 weeks with the hotel whilst we went trekking.

    Perfect Stay in the Heart of Thamel I recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming hotel in the Thamel area, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. Their warm smiles and attentive service created such a friendly and inviting atmosphere, making me feel right at home. Whether it was helping with luggage, recommending local spots, or organizing day trips, they went above and beyond to ensure I had the best experience possible. The location is unbeatable! Nestled in the vibrant heart of Thamel, the hotel is within walking distance of all the best cafes, restaurants, shops, and cultural sites. It’s the ideal base for exploring the lively streets of Kathmandu while still being a peaceful retreat when you want to escape the city’s hustle. My room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, providing a perfect space to relax after a day of sightseeing. I especially loved the rooftop terrace, where I could unwind with a great view of the city. If you’re looking for a place with excellent service, a prime location, and a welcoming atmosphere, this hotel is an absolute gem! I can’t wait to return on my next visit to Kathmandu.

    I love everything about this property! The staff are amazing! The had been very helpful even before I arrived at the hotel. That was my first time in Nepal and they just made it so magical 🥰🥳 The location is perfect. It's in the shopping centre, food is easy to find, SIM card shop is just 5 minutes walking from the hotel.

    Everything! The room, the surroundings and especially the staff. They were so helpful and so supportive. We had a problem with a parcel that we send from Nepal to Europe and the manager and the rest of the staff took the time to help us, even if we had already checked out, and went in person to the post office to help us out. We are so grateful and so amazed by the beautiful gesture. This tells a lot about the hotel, since it’s not the facilities that makes a place special, but the people working there ☺️

    Nothing. All exceptional and great value for money.

    The staff were extremely helpful with making sure our stay was comfortable and they also offer advice for Kathmandu and onward travel. The location is great on the Main Street and near restaurants, shops and a mini market for water etc, the view from the rooftop is one of the best and they serve food and drinks. Room was spotless, comfortable and big. Shower facilities worked brilliantly with hot and cold water. If it’s your first time in Kathmandu this would be the perfect place to stay, if not first time then stay anyway, we stayed in another hotel our previous time and it did not compare to this. If we come again we will stay here. Thank you to all staff :-)!

    Really friendly staff- everyone made you feel especially welcome. 24hr reception. Brilliantly located in Thamel, and set back a little so that it was peaceful at night. Good breakfast options. We left our luggage here whilst away trekking which worked perfectly to come back for and stay again either side. Nice rooftop terrace to chill on.
