My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious with a separate sitting area and a dining area, which was convenient. However, I encountered a maintenance issue with a broken tap that only provided hot water for a minute during the shower. The service was friendly but lacked some knowledge and English proficiency. The location was the best part, situated right in Durbar Square, although the noise from the surrounding area could be bothersome. The dining options, while not included in the rate, were reasonably priced. The facilities offered were satisfactory overall.

The hotel is located right in the heart of Kathmandu, offering convenient attached bathrooms in the rooms. The hot water tap was a bit problematic, only working for the first minute of the shower before breaking and stopping water flow entirely. The service was friendly and helpful, with staff going out of their way to assist with travel arrangements. The location, although right in Durbar Square, suffers from noise due to its placement between the main square and a nearby school starting activities early in the morning. The dining experience, while not included in the rate, was reasonably priced and offered good food. The facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
