Lovely heritage building stay. An oasis near Kathmandu Durbar Square.
Pros:

Top tier location! It's literally adjacent to the popular Kathmandu Durbar Square, and yet just removed enough to remain peaceful throughout the day. You can walk to Thamel in about 15 minutes. Nights were quiet up until sunrise when the area springs to life, so bring earplugs if you need to sleep in. The building is old yet beautiful. The rooms were large and felt clean. We really enjoyed the dining areas, both the courtyard and the eatery in the front building. Their food is good, and their cappuccinos are on point!

The staff members, especially the younger ones who we interacted with most, were very friendly and considerate. We were helped with supplies, printing documents, and reserving early morning taxis.

(There were some mixed reviews here about the showers, so I'd like to comment about that. We went in with the expectation that this is indeed a heritage building with old plumbing. That being said, it was fine! The shower sometimes took a long time to heat up, like on the scale of minutes, but it worked.)

Cons:

I probably missed this in the description, but guests should plan to pay in cash. Stock up on rupees at the airport, since credit card payments will incur a higher charge.

Wonderful stay in the heart of Durbar square

Wonderful location, with an entrance directly out to Durbar square. The building had an original design and rooms were well equipped and spacious. The staff were so friendly and attentive and welcoming. The food in the restaurant and breakfast was great. We would stay here next visit to Kathmandu.

Cons:

Hot water for showers a little tempermental depending on solar panels.

Pros:

L'accueil par un personnel complètement à l'écoute, disponible, souriant.
L'emplacement idéal tout près de Durbar Square.
L'hôtel, lui-même, tout simplement magnifique, des fleurs, des plantes, de belles salles, une cour intérieure où l'on peut lire, se relaxer, consommer. Très propre.
Deux immenses chambres, décorées avec goût, propres.
Le restaurant sur place est un plus, après une journée intense. C'est excellent et bien servi.
Petite cérémonie à notre départ.
Un séjour parfait.

Nice stay
Pros:

Beautiful building and room, great location, the courtyard and view from the terrace was amazing looking over Durbar square. The restaurant food was really good. Staff were friendly and arranged me a taxi at 6am.

Cons:

I think the place is too expensive for what it is. As a westerner the price is below what I would pay in Europe for somewhere like this. But after going to other places in Nepal the price is just too high even for a nice room. I think if you are planning on spending more time in the property it is more worth it instead of just using it as a base.
