Lovely place to stay. The hotel is run by a nice, friendly family that made us feel at home. Late check in, leaving ur luggage while we were trekking - nothing was a problem. Very clean place, big room with large, exceptionaly comfy beds - hands down one of the best I have ever slept in. Walking distance to Thamel, shops and cafes nearby. Definitely a place I want to stay again.

Perfect stay in KTM

We had two very comfortable rooms for 3 nights, around a 10 minute walk to the heart of Thamel. The owners were very flexible when our plans changed and we asked to stay for 2 more nights. The rooms were very comfortable, recently refurbished with clean ensuites and good wifi. Each morning the owners provided a great freshly made breakfast of tea, coffee, eggs, toast and cake. The family were lovely and very hospitable. We couldn’t have asked for anymore. Thank you so much!

Great value and owners who care about their guests

This is the 5th hotel of its price class I have stayed in when visiting Kathmandu over the years, and it is by far the best. Comfortable and clean!! Helpful owners and staff, homey. Brand new. The owners know how to make people comfortable and are eager and helpful to do so. They are building more rooms on the upper floors. They have great advice and connections on local tours and trekking. There's real hot water (better in the evenings), and good simple breakfasts for a nominal fee in the beautiful lobby/common area. The only thing to know is it's about a 5-minute walk outside of the main Thamel tourist district, so it's quieter but it's also a little bit removed from the action if that's your thing. I hope to stay there again and again. The beds are great!
