Großes zimmer zum wohlfühlen
Pros:

sehr geräumiges, modernes zimmer mit blick über die dächer Kathmandus, ruhige lage, gute luft, toller pool (nach Reinigung auch echt sauber, nur halt kalt im November)
modern eingerichtetes zimmer, bett etwas weich aber bequem.
gutes wifi, netter smart tv
die dachterasse ist ein netter Ort, dort ist das frühstück (7-10 / 11 uhr)
Kühlschrank vorhanden
gute Beleuchtung im zimmer
Service freundlich und bemüht

Cons:

Frühstück a la carte, wenig vielfalt, keine westliche veggie option. Generell nicht besonders lecker, man ist es weils es inkludiert ist. Außerdem dauert es von Bestellung bis zur servierung min. 40 min. nur instant coffee inkludiert, kein echter Kaffee

boden im zimmer schmutzig, hab dann die badeschlapfen verwendet.
keine kleiderhaken im Kasten.
keine zimmerreinigung

Great stay, friendly staff.
Pros:

We had a great stay. Due to heavy snowfall on our trek we had to change the reservation and this was no problem. The staff was very friendly.

Cons:

Getting breakfast takes a very long time. Make sure you’re not in a rush. The food is delicious tho!

Pros:

Loved the fresh, clean and bright room design—white with wooden accents. The hotel seems new, so everything just feels fresh. Their rooftop also matches the look and feel of the cozy modern and fresh design. The staff were amazing—from the restaurant to the registration desk , everyone was ready to go above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. The food was delicious, including yummy barista coffee. Highly recommend!

Perfekt läge i Thamel, nära till alla sevärdheter vi vill besöka
Pros:

Väldigt fräscht hotell. Stort rum. Att det finns pool på hotell, som vi inte använde pga vädret. Personalen oerhört hjälpsamma. Städningen väldigt utmärkt. God mat på hotellet. Hotellet är 11 månader gammalt.

Cons:

Vi hörde att poolen var kall.

a great hotel in an ideal location with fantastic staff
Pros:

breakfast was fantastic - offered either a English or Amercian Breakfast with all parts fresh and well cooked
The staff need a special acknowledgement - they couldn't do enough for you
when we return to Kathmandu this will be our hotel of choice.

Pros:

The location is perfect, situated right in the heart of Thamel, making it very convenient for exploring nearby attractions, restaurants, and shops.
I had a wonderful and pleasant stay at Hotel Snow Lion. The overall experience was excellent, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the facilities were well-maintained. I truly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting.

Cons:

I believe the hotel’s menu could be further improved by including more authentic Nepali dishes, as it currently focuses mainly on Western-style cuisine. Adding local flavors would enhance the dining experience and provide guests with a more complete taste of Nepal.
