Reviews
Average facilities and services
The staff are all cheerful and friendly.
Hot water is available 24 hours a day, and the door between the shower and bathroom was very comfortable.
Thank you!
Walk out to the main street is just a couple of minutes with good access to food and shopping. Hotel is about 15mins to 20mins walk away from Kathmandu Durbur Square and 10mins walk away from Garden of Dreams.
The host is warm and friendly unlike other commercial hotel where hotel is just hotel.
Took a day trip arrange by the hotel and the guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Thank you for hosting us. Keep up the good attitude and shout out to David and Manish for making our trip wonderful. We'll be back.
