My room wasn’t like the photos, but it was large, clean, secure and comfortable. When I explored above my floor I found the very top of their rooftop patio where I had a 360 view of the city as the sun came up. It was a wonderful view to take in. Breakfast was delicious. The staff was great. Thanks.

Good value Hotel on the edge of Thamel

This is a good value family hotel situated just outside the main Thamel area of Kathmandu. The staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are a good size with en-suite bathroom and the beds are comfortable. There is good WiFi and they have luggage storage if you need to leave luggage behind whilst going trekking. I would say the only slightly negative part is it’s location as it is just outside of the main Thamel area down a fairly busy road. Saying that it will only take you about 10 minute walk to get into the heart of Thamel and is good value compared to prices of Hotels in Thamel itself. Overall this is a good option for people on a budget who don’t mind a short walk to Thamel.
