The opportunity to ride a horse around the nearby village, the excellent views (the hotel is part of a forest reserve after all) are the few positives i could find.

- Food is the biggest weakness of this hotel. Even if they have two restaurants in the resort, we were not impressed with the food (especially continental food). - The room was not well prepared when we arrived (after 14:00). They let us in and do the check in anyway, however toiletries were not in the room and the housekeeping staff entered the room without even knocking.

The general hospitality in the hotel is not what i have come to look for in a 5 star resort. The finish in the rooms were poor. Took a cottage room so as to have the best views but one of the rooms just overlooked a gate and the employee parking lot. The food in the golf course restaurant leaves a lot to be desired.
The opportunity to ride a horse around the nearby village, the excellent views (the hotel is part of a forest reserve after all) are the few positives i could find.

I have to be honest and say this place needs to be completely improved. - Bad smell throughout the space. - Dusty Rooms. - Dirty sheets. - Uncleaned window mirrors. - uncomfortable mattress. - Extremely-bad organized activities with guides who speak no English. -Some staff are not friendly.
- Food was good in general. - nice neck and back massage I had. - Lovely green area around the resort.

We were glad we had stayed more centrally for visiting the city. The spa is not really very special, and I never did work out the system for being in there at the right time to use a hot steam room!
The hotel is a calm oasis in the chaos of Kathmandu! The pool is a good size and the massages were good.

The AC in our original allotted room did not work on the day we checkedin. Were moved to another room...it was good but was secluded with a very small balcony...our original room had a big balcony and was much bigger. Were moved to our original room on day 2. Food quality was just average with morning buffet choice being very very limited.
The location of the property. Quite vast, green and peaceful. The golf course, in-house temp controlled swimming pool were amazing.

I love the location. Just minutes out of the Kathmandu traffic you arrive in a beautiful forest location. The interior is beautiful,wonderful statues,pictures makes your wonder around the corridor even more enjoyable especially if you are into history and knowing more about culture. Loved the furniture, it is antique and luxury the same time. They upgraded our room as well to a beautiful suite !!I loved the free yoga class too.
