Eine tolle Unterkunft zu weiterempfehlen 👌🏼
Pros:

Perfektе Lage. Mitten im Tamel aber trotzdem ruhig.
Super nettes, freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal: helfen mit Rat und Tat! Ich könnte auch ohne Probleme mein Aufenhalt im Hotel verlängern. Mein Zimmer war ziemlich groß (ich habe alleine 2-Bett-Zimmer gehabt), sauber, sogar mit Badewanne und heißem Wasser!!! (was für Nepal nicht immer selbstverständlich ist). Gutes Frühstück.Wenn ich wieder in Kathmandu bin, komme definitiv wieder in Yambu Hotel👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
