A place of calm
Pros:

A beautifully arranged hotel around an internal courtyard, you can step off the busy streets of Thamel into a centre of calm. The staff are very supportive in all aspects. My room was very comfortable, and I enjoyed my stay here.

The best hotel in the area
Pros:

The hotel is in a fantastic location. The security is great. The vibe of the place is nice. The staff at the bar, restaurant and reception are amazing. They make you feel nice, are professional and always make sure that everything is provided with excellent service. This hotel in comparison to the others in the area whio charge similar prices is one of the best with much better facilitiesand environment. Its very clean. The hotel provide city tour with experienced drivers and the ride to Airport with one of their electric fleet that none of the surrounding hotels provide. The hotel has no lift (usual in all hotels in the area), but dont worry you dont even have to pick a single luggage to your room, it's been taken care of management

Wonderful hotel with outstanding staff care.
Pros:

The location is great for a young tourist who is looking forward for cultural heritage at daytime and bars by the evening. The district is safe and has its own atmosphere. The hotel is charming, clean and staff is extremely helpful and polite. I met the highest level of hospitality and exceptional service. I also liked the inner garden where you can sit at the evening with a drink or a dinner. I can highly recommend this place.

Great staff; great bar/restaurant; great location. Alas, six floors and no elevator.
Pros:

The staff - exceptionally helpful always trying to meet customer requirements. I needed an extension board and someone promptly went to the market and bought one for us to use. Some other examples too.

Cons:

No elevators even to the 6th floor.

The balcony of junior suite looks on a sorry dismal lane.

Pros:

The morning breakfast was superb both quality and quantity. The hotel's location in Thamel can be a bit noisy at night but very convenient to find all kinds of shops, restaurants, and cafes.

Cons:

The only thing that made our stay a little bit miserable was that the A/C in our room stopped working and couldn't turn on for the entire night so we had to open windows to let the air (and noise) come in. The staffs were trying to help but there was not much he could do. The best answer we got was that the electrician would come in the morning!

A peacull island in the heart of Kathmandu
Pros:

Very nice boutique hotel, in the heart of Thamel. The hotel itself has an isolated courtyard. Staff is very helpful and friendly. These is like an "island of quiet and peace" in the middle of Kathmandu. They can arrange car with a driver and a tur guide - which we used - was great.

Cons:

The hotel has no elevator - so make sure your room is on a reasonable floor. Other than that, our room did not have a desk - which would have been nice to have.
