The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Built in 1972 with traditional Nepalese wooden features, this charming hotel is at the end of a crooked alley. It is within walking distance to Thamel and Durbar Square, but far enough away to be quiet. There is only the one road to get to the hotel; don't trust GPS directions that suggest coming in from the back. We learned this the hard way on foot, and later had to convince a taxi driver not to follow his phone directions.

The windows of our second-story room were covered with traditional-style shutters, limiting light and making it difficult to see outside. There is no elevator.

Very friendly staff who try to help with all your asks. Hotel is in a quiet road but close enough to walk to the Thamel area. A number of restaurants and shops nearby. Nice garden area to relax in with swimming pool (although a little cold as in the shade all day...). After trekking for 3 weeks it felt like staying in the Burj al Arab!

Wifi coverage is a bit hit or miss depending on where you are in the hotel. A few small repairs needed in some of the rooms.

We loved the heritage of the hotel, garden and swimming pool area perfect for relaxing, the room was lovely with crisp white sheets. The only small negative was the shower was small and a little tired and no nice toiletries to use but we had our own so didn’t detract from the stay

The beautiful property!! We have stayed there many times and we always return. Rooms are usually large and well decorated. Beds are comfortable. Staff is genuinely nice and professional. Beautiful gardens and pool. Clean and safe. Breakfast is excellent. We had dinner in the gardens with our trekking team the last night, the waiter was just class, very sensitive!

Like everything

Very friendly and helpful stuff

Uncomfortable beds

The selection for breakfast was good. Staff were very friendly and helpful and could not do enough for you. Made heaps of suggestions on what to do and see and organised a driver for me

The room could have been slightly cleaner and the lighting was not great. WiFi was good when it worked, however dropped in and out all the time

It is simply beautiful - such a wonderful place. Staff were exceptional

Maybe better showers and a few bugs in our room

lovely location, down a small side street away from the main road. nice and quiet, but still close (15 min walk) to Thamel. lots of nice restaurants within a 5-10 min walk.

room wasn’t cleaned or towels replaced during whole of 5 night stay. had to ask for clean towels and more toilet roll.

The property grounds are beautiful, having a balcony overlooking the garden and pool was incredibly peaceful for tea in the mornings. The breakfast was good, in a nice space.

The beds are a bit uncomfortable, would have been nice to have two pillows per bed.

This place looks amazing! If you want a hotel which looks like you'd image and old-school hotel in Kathmandu would look like - this is the place. The backyard with the garden and the pool is surrounded by stunning, almost ancient looking detail. We got the room for around 50$/Night, what seemed to be a massive reduction. And for that price, this is a stunning offer.

There was no room service for our short stay. No big deal for us - but strange if not communicated.
