Perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu but the perfect spot to get out and about in it also
Pros:

The location and the courtyard. The staff were amazing and super attentive. Breakfast and the masala chai were great. Rooms clean and spacious.
Staff more than accommodating and also helped with local activities. We went on a trek for a few days and we could Leave our luggage at the hotel no problem.

Cons:

That we had to leave. Nothing negative to say.

타멜거리에서 괜찮은 가성비 숙소
Pros:

층마다, 계단마다 있던 예술품들로 눈이 즐거웠음. 방도 넓은 편이어서 두루두루 편했음. 시스템에어컨도 신기했고. 체크인때뿐만 아니라 체크아웃하는 시간 맞춰서 직원이 캐리어 들어다주는 것도 너무 상냥했음. 위치도 타멜거리를 즐기기에 너무 좋았음. 호텔 1층 레스토랑도 추천함! 조식도 좋았고 저녁에 간단한 요리와 술한잔 하기에도 편하고 좋았음.

Cons:

엘베가 없고 계단이 높은편이라 높은 층을 배정받으면 힘들것같음. 그리고 내가 묵었던 객실만 그렇겠지만, 테라스가 아닌 창문쪽에서 톡톡 소리가나서 보니까 비둘기.. 근데 사람무서워하는지 커튼 확 걷었다고 밖에 비둘기가 떼로 모여있다가 날아갔다가 옆건물에 붙어있다 다시오고 날아가고 그랬음.. 그쪽 커튼을 하루동안 일부 걷어두니 다음날부턴 거의 안오긴함. 그래도 비둘기 싫어하시면 좀...

Fabulous friendly arty hotel superb quality
Pros:

Breakfast fabulous. Attentive friendly staff. Totally professional but low key chill vibe. Beautiful courtyard it’s an oasis in middle of Thamel. We loved it ! Nothing too much trouble. Shout out to Ujjawal super helpful on reception what AMAZING service - thank you ! Also this is the best hotel I’ve EVER stayed at for incredible art on the walls - I hear the owner has a passion for supporting Nepali artists and it shows - such beautiful work gave me pleasure to see everyday. Totally professional hotel but maintains a welcoming friendly vibe. Right in heart of Thamel. 100% recommend.

Cons:

Nothing

An oasis of tranquillity in the heart of Thamel
Pros:

I love this little boutique hotel : it’s an oasis of tranquillity in the heart of busy Thamel . It’s tastefully decorated with unique and striking art . There is a huge bougainvillea cascading down its red bricks walls .. The staff is very professional and courteous. The food is delicious ( breakfast and other meals. There is a good restaurant on site )

Cons:

Nothing . Perfect stay

Hotel aconchegante e acolhedor. Super indico.
Pros:

Gostei de tudo. Super localização, hotel lindo e aconchegante. Staff impecável e gentil. Quarto espaçoso.
É realmente um hotel lindo e realmente inserido na cultura e arquitetura do Nepal.
E gostaria de fazer uma observação aos outros comentários que falaram não ter elevador. É assim que é no Nepal. Não tem elevador em lugar nenhum, porque no hotel teria? Faz parte do charme e da originalidade do lugar.

Restful and peaceful space in an excellent location
Pros:

The staff were beyond helpful and kind. Great amenities! Bottled water in the room each day, an excellent breakfast with a menu of items to order off of, beautiful views of the city/courtyard, a very knowledgable instructor leading yoga each morning. We also arranged for a half-day driver to do some sightseeing around Kathmandu. I would love to stay there again and was very sad to say goodbye.
