In the middle of all the action in Thamel
Pros:

Location was super convenient, bed comfortable, delicious breakfast

Cons:

GPS coordinate didn’t match up - had trouble with taxi finding it a few times; street noise all not long was quite loud- motorcycles, construction work, shop garage doors rolling up and down at all hours.

Perfect stay
Pros:

Nice, clean room in a great location, with airport pickup included. The owners were incredibly kind and accommodating, allowing us to leave our bags while hiking in the mountains. They even received and stored some items we purchased during our trek.

Great breakfast too! Highly recommended!

Excelente ubicación en Thamel y trato familiar y acogedor
Pros:

Desde el hotel te ayudan a organizar los trekkings, y recomiendo especialmente solicitar a Santosh Dahal como guía, ya que hizo de nuestra experiencia en el Mardi Himal algo inolvidable.
Las camas son muy cómodas y agradables.
Muy bien ubicado en la zona de Thamel.
El personal está muy atento, son amables y entrañables.

Cons:

Hay poco aislamiento acústico en las habitaciones y se escucha algo de ruido la calle.
No hay ascensor, al igual que en la mayoría de hoteles de la zona, pero te ayudan a subir las maletas.
Solo ofrecen recogida gratuita desde los vuelos internacionales.

Great hotel
Pros:

Location was central.
Breakfast was very good.

Cons:

Typical noise and congestion of a principle/main town but tolerable. Tough at times to walk the city streets as sidewalks were not always avail on the smaller streets.

We felt always safe

Motorists navigated themselves well. Never saw a traffic incident!
