My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The newly renovated rooms were nice and cozy, but the temperature was really cold. Opting for a garden room on the third floor was a good choice, although the top floor in the old part of the building had a musty smell. The staff were super-friendly and went above and beyond to assist with any queries, making my stay more pleasant. The central location in the heart of Thamel was convenient, with a lovely garden providing a relaxing space. The dining options were varied and plentiful, adding to the overall positive experience.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was superb, right in the heart of the Thamel area, surrounded by shops and restaurants, but there were some issues with the rooms smelling of mold and being noisy at night. The service from the staff was exceptional, always friendly and ready to help, although security seemed to have some shortcomings. The dining experience was varied but a bit repetitive, and the facilities were well-kept.

If you are a backpacker on an extremely limited budget and can handle the lack of air-conditioning, this hotel provides basic but comfortable rooms. The vibe of the place and the lovely staff make up for the minimal service offerings. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Thamel, which is like a peaceful refuge in the midst of Kathmandu. The dining, while adequate, could offer a bit more variety to cater to all guests' tastes.

For travelers looking for an oasis amidst the crazy street life of Kathmandu, the hotel offers a delightful experience with a big balcony overlooking the garden. Noise can be an issue with people going up and down, and the breakfast is ordinary with no tea and coffee making facilities as advertised. However, the peaceful setting is a great escape from the bustling streets with a minimal view.

The room was delightful with a big balcony overlooking the garden, but it was very noisy with people moving around. There was also lots of grit on the floor. The breakfast was ordinary with no tea and coffee making as advertised, only a thermos of hot water.

After a couple of hours that I asked for a new room, I found the hotel nestled in a courtyard garden with a view of the dining area - though, beware of noise from bands playing late into the night. The staff was welcoming and helpful, but some communication hiccups occurred, like being wrongly told I hadn't paid my bill despite having receipts. The location was great, allowing for early check-in and close proximity to restaurants and shopping, but watch out for pickpocketers and street vendors. The dining experience, while abundant, lacked presentation and alternative choices.

Staying at this hotel turned out to be an interesting experience. The rooms, although old, carry a unique charm that gives a nod to the hotel's history. However, some areas felt outdated. The service, particularly from the manager of the KGH group of hotels, was exceptional and made my stay a pleasure. The location, right in the heart of Thamel, proved to be a big plus, although I had to be cautious of pickpocketers and pushy street vendors. The dining options, while providing choice, left a bit to be desired in terms of quality. Overall, a mixed bag.
