Des atouts mais finalement décevant
Pros:

Le cadre général de l'hôtel, au calme, autour d'une piscine et de beaucoup d'endroits aménagés pour se reposer après une journée d*excursion.
Les chambres sont spacieuses et dotées d'une terrasse.

Cons:

Attention aux facturations. Nous avons réservé 2 journées d'excursion privées par le biais de l'hôtel. Rien à dire, les prestations étaient de qualité, mais avec le recul, nous n'avons rien comparé, et je pense que nous avons payé vraiment cher.
Nous avons demandé à l'hôtel de nous réserver le bus de retour vers Katmandou, et ils nous facturaient 20 USD par personne. Après discussion, nous avons refusé et demandé de payer directement dans le bus... Ça nous est revenu à 8 USD par personne !
Cerise sur le gâteau, quand nous avons voulu régler la facture par carte Visa, ils nous réclamaient 5% de commission !
L'organisation est par ailleurs très erratique : toujours à la recherche de la clé de chambre, petit déjeuner toujours identique et jamais vraiment prêt à l'heure.

Best relaxing days in Chitwan
Pros:

Everything was very good. The staff is very welcoming and kind. The pool was extremely clean and the water temperature was perfect. Highly reccomend staying here! We spent three nights relaxing here before continuing our journey by motorbike through Nepal and it was the best. You are in the town so you can walk anywhere for food or drinks. The river is right by the property and there are sometimes rhino sightings! It really is amazing

Cons:

The hot water is not very consistent but you can just let the staff know and they will fix it!

Pros:

Location is excellent. Right in the heart of the action and ideal for early morning excursions into the National Park, as the hotel is very close to the boat crossing point. We left a few days before breakfast but we were given food to take with us. We opted for delicious museli and were given a bag of curd which I kept cold in a cool bag. Very filling and delicious. Fruit given too. There were other options. The view from B3 was excellent. View over garden to the river. A rhino wandered into the garden one day. It is a regular occurrence! Swimming pool was kept very clean. Staff were first class. Surose(?) was particularly helpful and chatty. The lady on reception (sorry don't know her name) was very efficient and helpful too.

Cons:

Nothing really.

Pros:

Utsikten över floden från balkongen där noshörningar ofta kommer nära och betar. Man är nära natur och djur. Det är vad det handlar om här i Chitwan, upplevelsen av naturen. Fin personal där Suraj stod ut i restaurangen med sitt glada leende och alltid villig att hjälpa. En bra vecka med lugn o ro o möten med djur som noshörningar, vild elefant i många krokodiler. Sen är det underbart att sitta vid floden o se solnedgången.

Cons:

Ingen pool då den höll på att repareras. Men det var ändå för kallt att bada. Duschen är det väldigt lågt tryck på så det kommer inte många strålar men det fanns varmvatten om man lät det rinna länge.
