The roads in Katmandu are dreadful. Don’t chose this place if you are going to be in and out of town.
The property is situated out of town in a huge forest full of deers, eagles and monkeys. Although bot the newest it is super comfy and whatever little issue you lay encounter is dealt by the extremely professional and kind personnel. I have rarely seen sobluch dedication.

It’s not the fault of the property but the road that leads to the property is very bad. Lots of potholes and makes the whole drive up very difficult.
It’s very green and you can breath fresh air in this property. Very beautiful.

Location was a bit far out from main Kathmandu (they do have a shuttle service) but I was planning just to relax after a trek so I didn't mind too much.
Facilities and staff were great. Spa treatments were fab and so relaxing. Food was good too.

“A wonderful way to unwind and be at one with nature.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
I found the bathroom a bit odd, The shower head was attached to the wall at knee level and there was no way to affix the shower head in a way to stand under the shower. Although the Chinese/Thai golf club restaurant has excellent food, its atmosphere is lacking. The food would go down better in a fine dining environment as it was excellent food! It is not really golf clubhouse kind of food.
The peaceful location is great. It is wonderful to be surrounded by those large trees of the forest. All the restaurants were excellent, as was the spa. I had wonderful therapeutic massage treatments here! I do not golf, so for me, this was a place just to relax. The rooms are huge and comfortable.

The room wasn't worth the price that i paid for. The carpet in my room was very dirty, the curtains were falling (they didn't even bother to fix it before providing the room) the slippers provided already used by someone else (not at all acceptable due to hygiene), the bath towels weren't that clean, windows were dirty, the bed sheets & duvet weren't clean. The front desk staff were okay but the restaurant staff were attentive.
I liked the location, the greenery, the SPA.

“Great hotel, some room for improvement”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights
I requested transport from my hotel in Thamel to the property and was told I was confirmed for a 1pm pickup. At 1:45pm, I still had not been picked up. When I called Gokarna, they advised that no transport had been sent. They offered to send transport at that time but I would have had to wait another 45 minutes. I ended up taking a taxi. It was very frustrating that I wasted so much time waiting for nothing. Another frustration was when I requested the key to my mini bar. It turns out it was empty. After 3 phone calls and about 30 minutes of waiting, it was filled....with warm beverages. It would have been nice if it had been full already so the beverages would have been cool.
The property is very beautiful and the staff was extremely attentive. I really enjoyed the forest walk! I also spent a good deal of time at the spa and pool and both were very nice. I also loved the bloody marys from the bar :) They were very good to cater to my preferred level of spiciness and the manager remembered my preference from one day to the next.

“It was a nice stay, very nice location and very plesent staff.”
- • Leisure trip

The hotel is not a real 5 star hotel. The road to the hotel is very bad. Although the location is in a nice forest and only 9 km from the city center, it takes around an hour to go to the city because of the bad roads and heavy traffic all the day. Free Wifi was provided with a seasonable speed, however, it was given for a maximum of three days and then we needed to ask for new login and password. Monkeys running on the metallic roof were noisy sometime during the night. The free shuttle back from the city at 3:30 pm which we found little early.
A nice old building in a nice location. Food was good, but not many choices. Staff were very nice and friendly. SPA, sport facilities and a golf field was available, however we could not use any as we spent most of our time outside the hotel. You can enjoy a clean air around the hotel, unlike the dusty an polluted air in the city. the hotel provides free transport to the city center.
