It is a beautiful hotel with a very helpful staff. One of the kindest staffs I have met in all my travels. It is in a good "tourist" location as well - I was able to walk to the palace museum of the last king of Nepal and a good art museum. There are lots of shops and restaurants and even some night clubs. There is also a place to get your laundry done nearby. I would say that if you are older or infirm, you might ask them to give you a room on the 1st, 2nd or 3rd floor - I was on the 4th floor of a walk-up, no elevator, and it was a bit tiring for me (as an older guy).

Can’t rate this hotel more highly. It’s in a great location in the centre of Thamel, so good for being able to get around the city. The room was very clean and the staff very courteous. I indie had to extend my stay by a week due to the outbreak of war in the Middle East, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and understanding. I highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting and need somewhere to stay.

This place is a hidden gem that I have stayed in on two separate trips to Nepal. There are many places in this price range, but I have found few Who is facilities are so well-maintained. The staff is one of the main reasons I will return. A great location to stay if you’re hoping to be right in the middle of it all in Themal

I appreciated the improvements to the rooms I stayed in, compared to past trips. This included such things as better lighting, or better shower layout. Location is fairly convenient to access all things in Thamel, and taxis were readily available at the hotel for daytime excursions. Breakfast was abundant, and staff were universally helpful and smiling. Their friendliness certainly enhanced the comfort and joy of my stay. I have stayed here multiple times in past years and would return!

It's affordable but they will treat you like you're a 5 star client. Pro-tip if you're sight seeing or need a cab they can hook you up with the best deal!
