Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of a modern cineplex, shops, and supermarkets in Kathmandu. The rooms offer a good choice of well-cooked food at reception but are smoking rooms which can feel dirty. Some services like car hire and housekeeping were lacking, and the staff's behavior was rude and disrespectful. The dining experience was delicious and varied each day, with lovely natural light, but some additional charges apply for in-room dining. The large lobby area is perfect for small meetings or events.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, functional, clean, and nicely decorated. The service was exceptional, with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The location was convenient, with easy access to nearby amenities and attractions. The dining experience was good overall.
The hotel offers large and clean rooms with super comfortable beds and big windows, though some may find the distance from the lift on the 4th floor a bit inconvenient. The service is friendly but slightly lacking in promptness. It has a central location with easy access to shopping areas and a modern cineplex, along with quiet surroundings and beautiful mountain views. The dining options vary from very basic to good quality fare. Overall, a decent choice with some room for improvement.
I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious rooms that had an additional covered balcony offering views of greenery where I enjoyed my morning tea. However, for the guys, this might not be the best choice of stay, and I personally don't see myself returning to this hotel.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious and clean, offering a great view of the mountains, but the analog thermostat controller was a bit confusing. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff, although there were some issues with incompetent personnel. The location was convenient, close to the airport but in a noisy area. The dining experience was delightful, with delicious food and a lovely ambiance. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
