    The hotel was so unique because of the roof garden. Also loved the decor details, every room had its unique handels, it was a nice mix of traditional bits and the modern look.

    The showerhead in the bathroom wasn't working well, with thin streaks of water shooting in all directions. There was also no proper ventilation system in the bathroom, so it smelled a bit. All the plants in the room are plastic and they are quite dusty. Wished they were real plants!

    The warm touch of decorations made me feel home and the owner was quick to respond to my requests. The family rooms are facing the roads and are brighter and spacious. For the price, it's decent!

    I was in an outside single room and it was really noisy because of the place is located in a main road with a lot of traffic even in the night, so you have to use earplugs, there are also double rooms that don't face the main road. The room smelled to tobacco a lot! I told them and I hope they give a solution.

    The room is so cozy, well decorated and so comfortable bed. Bathroom is also nice. Is not located in the City center but you can walk there 20 minutes. Staff are friendly. There is an ATM just next to the door.

    I stayed at the 3. floor because I thought I'll have a nice view- turned out a) that my window faced a wall and b) that the kitchen is on 4th floor and that it's a bit noisy.

    The staff is very friendly and even asked on which floor I wanted to stay. I think it's a family run business and the place feels like it. The location is great - directly next to the busy Tamel area, but not directly in it. The hotel has a nice roof terrace. I arrived in the evening and the staff offered to order food for me which was super nice and convinient.

    Bathroom was way too small. Shower got the whole room wet when turned on. Entire place stunk of incense because they were burning it in the lobby. Very little soaps provided, despite staying multiple days. Toilet paper was provided instead of tissues. I had a view from windows of the street, when I booked a balcony with mountain view. 4 floors high and no elevator.

    Nothing,

    Everything! This place is beautiful and positioned just outside of busy Thamel so you get peace at the end of the day. The family is lovely and especially like their friendly dog and rabbit. The hotel has beautiful art and is decorated beautifully. The room was big and had a beautiful feel about it! Loved my stay and will be back when I am in Kathmandu again! I was provided breakfast in my room every morning which was a lovely surprise. There are traditional Nepalese restaurants near by that are cheap and have good food.

    Everything was great one of the best hotel I’ve ever been privileged enough to stay at. good location, and it only gets more breathtaking when you walk in. High quality rooms exactly as described in Booking.com web site, with very professional staff with high quality service. I have to say the Roof top garden was one of the most amazing rooftop i have seen with koi fish , passion fruits and dragon fruits .
