Reviews
I caught the tourist bus early the next morning, so it was only a 5-minute walk away.
It was a shame that the hot water in the shower didn't work properly.
From check-in, over breakfast and check out the staff was very friendly and polite to us.
We stayed 3 times at Apsara (also went to Pokhara and Buthan) and leaving our big suitcase at Apsara was no problem. We felt like staying at our family abroad more than a hotel. Thanks and hope to see you again 😉 in case it's still not clear, we definitely recommend this hotel!!!
The place exactly meet expectations on basis of service delivery, food, staff behaviour, well maintained infrastructure.
The place is well maintained and hygienic. The comfort of the rooms and the outside view was commendable.
We enjoyed our stay there and would definitely recommend others to try once. 😊😊
