The daily breakfast was off the charts wonderful. There was something for everyone to eat and love no matter your food preferences...

Mele, United States of America

Staff - Very quick to respond, well mannered. Food not on menu, but requested was provided.

Alezica, Saudi Arabia

Very friendly staff, and all facilities splendid, as you would expect from an international 4-star hotel. The executive rooms feature a free minibar.

Anne, Germany

Friendly and attentive staff. Spacious rooms. Good value. Nice design with a good view from the top floor. Reasonably priced hotel restaurant. Spa was ok - tranquil environment, staff was earnest in their efforts, but service was still somewhat lacking. Location away from busy Thamel was more of a pro than a con for me.

Anonymous, United States of America

Staff were very friendly, break fast was good and you get the very good view of city from the 7th floor.

It was a great experience over all. Will definitely recommend this to my friends and family.

There are windows in every room and because of wooden flooring the floor is very slippery. I would appreciate saftey grills on the windows but dont block them as they are the source for Fresh Air and Beautiful Weather . And in Cloud 9 Cafe there was only one waitor serving all thats not nice to notice.
It was a great experience over all. Will definitely recommend this to my friends and family.

Though I'd had email comms with the hotel prior to arrival they didn't let me know that the pool would be out if commission for our stay. The hotel is on a main road and the windows are not double glazed for noise so it was very noisy.
First of all the staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The food was superb. The bed was really comfy.

I loved everything in the hotel but, when my partner arrived and I took her in after a while I came out to meet one friend, in front of my friend the security guy came and told me that if I’m bringing any girl I should check her in and tell the hotel about it. He said it’s not allowed to bring anyone like that. I know he was doing his job but I would recommend for the securities to check with the hotel then come talk to me. I know I wasn’t doing anything wrong but I was a little embarrassed.
The staffs were really great and helpful. All my requests were well taken care of as per my wish. Really loved the decorations and the cake was super! Everything was just super perfect! We had our best night since I came to Nepal.

1) My credit card was charged a month before. When I called the property they reversed it on the same day. No issues, but should not have happened 2) While settling the final bill, there was a big restaurant bill(extra one) under my room. I disputed and they admitted that it was a mistake and was corrected. These kind of mistakes are not expected.
Excellent breakfast with multi cuisine choice. New year program was very good.

The wardrobe is a bit creepy, and the water is a bit yellowish.
The staff! Kudos to Prasish, Ashish, Jiwan and the rest of the Front Office Team. All my request are well taken care of as well as my queries. For the food and Bev Team, shout-out to Laxmi for a service beyond expectations. And for the bacon, thanks chef! The spa is well-recommended, a bit pricey but worth it.
