Relaxing and beautiful temple stay 1000/10 - treat yourself to it you will not regret
Pros:

The best hotel I stayed in Kathmandu and a perfect way to end my trip in Nepal.

The staff is amazing, the building is beautiful, full of character and it feels you are on you private temple/palace, definitely go around the floors to see how beautiful this place is. The beds are super comfortable and they are an ecological hotel but without being snob about it, they will have filtered water on the rooms, and journals instead of plastic bags on the bins, simple and effective solutions.

The location is 10/10, a block away from the main thamel streets but secluded enough to have a peaceful night of sleep.

I also recommend their breakfast if you have time as it has a good selection and they are super attentive.

The hotel offers yoga classes and a tour around the local temples but I didn't have time to try those.

I 100% will be back to Kantipur in my next time in Nepal. Thank you so much to all staff that made my stay so relaxing and special!

Cons:

I loved everything!

A traditional Nepali hotel in a good location with good old fashioned service
Pros:

I loved the traditional brick building in the old ? Newari style. Everything was in keeping with Nepali ways. We enjoyed having breakfast in the garden.

The staff were quite exceptional: highly professional yet very friendly and thoughtful and their English was amazingly good.

We had one evening meal in the restaurant. Food was very good and the waiter very helpful with suggestions.

The hotel is on the edge of Thamel - right in the centre of things.

Cons:

The only thing which might have been a little better was the shower in our room. Although it worked well I felt that the grouting between the tiles needed a deep clean. Or perhaps replace the shower unit. Otherwise the room was very nice. Another time I’d request a room facing the garden.

素晴らしい体験をありがとう
Pros:

環境に配慮していて好感が持てる。古いけれどしっかりメンテナンスされていて雰囲気がよい。タメル地区にありながら静かな環境。清潔なベッドでぐっすり眠れた。朝ヨガも良かった。スタッフがみな親切でホスピタリティがある。朝ごはんに作ってくれたオムレツとPuriが最高に美味しかった！

Cons:

シャワーのお湯がなかなか出てこなくて焦った。お湯になるまで数分かかる。エレベーターがないのでお年寄りは大変かも。

Pros:

Authentic building, clean and quiet. Quite a backyard of hustle Thamel.
Spacious room, stable hot shower, the eco-conscious parts were highlights!
The staff were more than helpful!
Pitifully we just stayed for 2 nights and missed the yoga class.
We had dinner and it was worth trying!
