"What a wonderful place! We stayed 3 nights at Sunsetview and it was a memorable time. The bungalow was more than clean and cozy. You can feel the eye for detail everywhere. We had stunning jeep tours with Pramesh and Jagat. Noémi, Pramesh and the lovely team make you feel comfortable from the beginning! It feels like family. The food and the coffee… extremely delicious!!! Thank you for the experience!"

"The property was very close to the bustle and busy activity and night life of Thamel, which is the most vibrant part of Kathmandu. The hotel has its own dedicated grounds which allow for easy access into and out of Thamel area. The property has much of the basic necessities that a good hotel should have, including gym, spa and beauty services, bar and restaurant, and a solid complimentary breakfast station with eggs and waffle stations."
