  • ZhirenChina · Aug 2, 2025 10Exceptional

    Liked : The location is in East Thamel, close to many restaurants and attractions. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. They helped me arrange express laundry service, which was great. I dropped off my laundry around 10:30 and got it back around 19:00, which was pretty handy.
    My reservation included breakfast, and you can choose from different options like a classic breakfast, farmer's breakfast, or French toast. The staff will cook it fresh for you, so it takes a bit of time, but it’s a nice chance to chat and socialize with other guests while you wait. The guests I met were usually friendly and easy to talk to.

    Great Stay, Highly Recommended to everyone.

    Liked : Room was good, neat and clean. Reception both guys (Day & Night shift) are so supportive. Cleaning both ladies were so kind and supportive. Everyone talk to me with beautiful smile and kind words. Hospitality of Nepal is awesome.

    Disliked : They don’t have halal foods. I have recommendations for owner instead of purchasing non halal meats and chicken if they stated to purchase halal meats and chicken, it can be served to both religions (Muslim and Non Muslim). Rest everything was perfect.

  • ChrisburtonUnited States · Jul 4, 2025 10Exceptional

    Comfortable and centrally located.

    Liked : The dorms were the best I've seen with the lockers built in. Whether top or bottom bunk, it's pretty comfortable to manage the way the beds are built.

    Great location though and highly recommended

    Disliked : The shared bathroom is not just for a couple rooms. It's like 4 different rooms so it's 12 people or so to the single bathroom.

    Comfortable stay And great location.

    Liked : Dorm rooms were very well built and whether you get a top or bottom but, there's a locker. They give you a free water bottle. Great location near garden of dreams and tucked in the back so it was quieter at night.

    The AC in the room was excellent even with 6 full beds.

    Disliked : The single bathroom was hard by the entire floor so about 12-16 people sharing at a time.
