I would recomand travellers to stay here cause it's walking distance to Thamel area. The hotel is off the main road which is good cause the traffic noise can really ring your ears with the cars and bikes non stop honking!! The room was clean. If you make reservation for their rooms, there is a pick up service from airport... More

We stayed at this hotel before and after our Annapurna Trek. It is located down the end of a dead end street so there is no through traffic. The little courtyard area is very pleasant for breakfast with some shady trees and feels a million miles away from the noise of busy Kathmandu. Weastern toilets are a plus and the... More

The location of the hotel set back from the road is this places' best advantage - away from the main road to cancel out any traffic noise but close to all amenities. However I found the pushiness of the staff in recommending tour operators, restaurants and shops and foisting a card on you and say that the hotel sent you,... More

I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" and that certainly applies here. Rooms were basic, beds fairly hard/lumpy, cleanliness factor somewhat questionable. Hot shower, rooftop garden, quiet location and convenience to main street buses to Chitwan were all pluses. Staff pleasant and helpful, prices for food & drink reasonable, and just up the street from the... More

We stayed in a deluxe room and paid $34 dollars a night. This gave us air conditioning which did work when the power was on. Rooms in need of decoration, lots of paint falling off and random wires sticking out of the walls. The mattress was very old and sunken, easily then most uncomfortable bed in Nepal and we've stayed... More

I chose this hotel for 1 night, that is the night we landed in Kathmandu, only because it offered free pick up from airport. Thankfully they had sent the driver on time and we did not face any hassle. That was the only good part. Our room was a deluxe one and hence was decent, but the hotel is very... More
