This hotel is perfectly situated in the Thamel area, making it super convenient for exploring Kathmandu. The rooms are spacious and well-decorated, providing a comfortable stay. The breakfast was quite good with a decent variety, though I found the eggs a bit undercooked. Overall, it offers great value for money, especially considering the supportive staff who helped plan our adventures, although it can be a bit tricky to find at first.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. On the positive side, the location in Thamel is perfect for exploring Kathmandu, and the staff was incredibly helpful. However, the room I stayed in had a persistent foul odor and other issues with heating, which made it uncomfortable. I appreciated the clean hotel and the variety in breakfast options, but the noise from nearby parties was a downside.
