Pros:

Das Hotel ist neu, große Zimmer, bequeme Betten und eine schöne moderne Einrichtung.
Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und auf Nachfrage kam man mir aufgrund meiner vegetarischen Wünsche entgegen.

Cons:

Keine Liegen für die Sonnenliegen am Pool. Man liegt auf dem Eisen. Das ist leider unbequem.

Stunning hotel.
Pros:

This hotel is absolutely stunning! We made the booking at 11pm after arriving in Kathmandu and the hotel we had booked had not received our booking. We found the snowlion nearby, booked a room and even though it was so late the staff were quick to show us to our room and even kept the restaurant open for us so we could have some dinner. The staff are extremely friendly and professional and cannot do enough for you. The rooftop restaurants food was delicious too. The room was truly incredible. Very spacious and cleaned everyday. The beds are sooo comfortable. They have a lovely pool and sauna too. I just can’t recommend this hotel enough.

Cons:

Nothing at all

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.
