The location is very close to thamel and easy to get onto the main road.
The refrigerator is broken and there are several towels has new stain that couldn’t be removed.
The security guard/bus boy immediately grab your luggage and assist you to your room BUT expect to tip him $5.

I was traveling alone as a single woman and felt very save and comfortable in the hotel. I have booked it before and after my trekking tour. The first time I got an upgrade - a room with balcony. Very nice! There is also good breakfast and room service. They even made me a breakfast box to go as I was continuing my trip to the mountains very early. And they made an exception and made me an early breakfast as I was leaving for my flight. Lovely people and place!

Whats really sticking out is the nice garden restaurant and the breakfasts. Usualy it is served omelette, sausages, yoghurt, fried potatoes and toast. So if you are like me and likes a large breakfast this is this the right place. The rooms are very affordable, perhaps because the hotel happens to be located just outside of Thamel (50 meters?). A have stayed in several of the rooms and the hot water and the air conditioning has allways worked.

Stayed here with a friend and booked 2 rooms.Waited nearly an hour after check-in for our rooms, and when we finally got them, one room the toilet didn't flush, and the other the aircon leaked water all over the floor. They got the toilet fixed quickly, but the aircon was completely broken in my room. I agreed that a fan would be OK, so they brought a fan that the plug didn't work very well and had to wedged at an angle in the socket, needless to say it kept falling out. After about 2 hours of me complaining, they finally brought an extension lead up, which sorted the problem. Outside our room was a balcony with manky old chairs and bags of empty bottles, really not appealing. The manager told us these were good rooms. My aircon continued to leak water into the night and if took them an hour to send someone ro clean if up. I stayed in the room, pictured 1st, and I can assure you it doesn't look like that now, now it's old and tired, marks all over the walls. In its day this would have been a lovely hotel, but it's had its day...
