this hotel was a great choice for us. it was within walking distance to Durbar Sq and the Thamel area yet free from the hordes of tourists. hotel set back from the street so surprisingly quiet as well. taxi stand about 50 meters away and small convenience store across the street. Room was simple yet spacious with warm shower, air con, wifi, tv, bed, and couch. Clean room and bed was very comfortable. Lots of light in the room but also had heavier drapes if light is not your thing. :). Breakfast at the hotel was delicious and filling. What impressed me the most about this hotel was the attentiveness and helpfulness of the employees. they always greeted us and asked if we needed anything, very polite. I did not utilize any of their tours but they can arrange anything for their guests. I really enjoyed my five night stay here and will definitely stay here again when i return to kathmandu.
