    1. Bathroom had no exhaust. Not clean. Old & broken fittings. 2. Room and bathroom need extensive renovation and modernization. Bathroom fittings are old. 3. Blanket Covers and bedsheets had holes. Towels are old and worn out. 4. Plug points (in the room) are inadequate and inaccessible. 5. They can order some Thai food for you - but have no restaurant onsite. Since location is in Thamel - that may not be an issue. 6. Cleaning has to improve at lot - especially bathrooms, cupboards, windows, etc. 7. AC is old & noisy.

    1. Staff and owner are polite, friendly and constantly trying to help. They work hard to help each customer. 2. Will store your bags - if you are going on a trek. 3. Breakfast. (Can be improved a lot - service, items & quality). 4. 24 hrs self-service tea & coffee station. 5. Will help & guide you correctly for sim card, forex, restaurants and tours. Personal care. 6. Excellent Wifi.

    At early check-out, a young guy at the reception suggested ordering a taxi to the bus station for us. However, when we asked about the cost, he was unable to specify, saying "less than 2000 NRP, maybe 1500 NRP". When we questioned the amount in relation to the distance, he was unable to explain it and seemed lost. In the end, we caught a taxi on our own (it should have cost around 350-500 NPR). Ok, mistakes happen, but maybe it would be worth training some of the staff in tourist information. Considering the reviews I've read, I think we were unlucky - our room was very different from the photos. The AC was noisy, turning itself off and on all the time. The bathroom could do with some refreshing (shower head not working, grouting, etc.) and there was noise outside the window at night, so we had trouble sleeping.

    Hotel situated in a good location. Nice owner and quick check-in. Advantages: luggage storage and airport pick-up.

    The shower overflowed onto the floor and with no ventilation the bathroom smelt horrible. I dropped something on the floor and was surprised to see how dirty the floor was under the bed. We found the pillows extremely hard.

    The manager was very friendly and helpful without being pushy. Breakfast was good and freshly made. Rooms were spacious. We had a problem with noise our first night and were given a new room the next day,

    Maybe some items would need better care (chipped toilet bowl, a few switches did not worked, bathroom could be better maintained). Poor and unvaried breakfast.

    Nice accommodation in Thamel. Personnel extremely kind. Big room for three people (two big beds) with AC.

    - They where making an elevator which was giving dust and dirt everywhere. Our room was next to this working place. The staff managed to get us an other room, which was less dusty and more clean. - internet was slow - complementary pick up airport was not exchangeable for drop off airport. - too expensive - toilet had issues flushing, the flush button did not always work.

    - Friendly staff who tried to make us happy. - Comfortable beds.

    The dogs barking outside, not able to fall asleep until 3 in the morning…. I know this is outta the hotel’s control, so am just saying this to remind anyone who is staying in Thames that this area IS noisy at night, cannot be avoided.

    1. Location is in the city centre 2. 24 hr checkin and fairly priced airport pickup (we arrived at midnight)

    It was a bit cold in the room and the AC couldn't work properly due to the problems with electricity. A lift is installed in the building so if you'd like to rest in the daytime it would be noisy. The blanket covers hasn't been changed, we asked to change but they did it the next day

    The staff was very friendly. Location is good, 20-25 min by walk to the Durbar square. Breakfast was ok. And there was a transfer from the airport, that's great!

    The construction noise (which is temporary) and the vegetarian breakfast. They should definitely put more varieties to choose from. The current warm vegetarian breakfast served to us were 4 prices of potatoes with bread, butter, and jam

    The manager is really good! And the packages offered to us were at a reasonable price and we could therefore enjoy our stay in the city

    There was some kind of construction/demolition work going right outside my room, which was very loud and a bit irritating as I could not have any sort of daytime rest before my trek, after a long day travelling. I do think this is only a temporary issue but I would have preferred a room further away from the noise.

    Rooms were really clean and spacious, the heating worked well and the beds were warm (a bit firm but that’s just personal preference) The staff were lovely and accomodating. Water, soaps, breakfast etc all provided, good value for money.
