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.
