The hotel is run by a nice, friendly family that made us feel at home. Late check in, leaving ur luggage while we were trekking - nothing was a problem. Very clean place, big room with large, exceptionaly comfy beds - hands down one of the best I have ever slept in. Walking distance to Thamel, shops and cafes nearby. Definitely a place I want to stay again. ##### Elzbieta Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### jean-Pierre Apr 15, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### jean-Pierre Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorna Mar 7, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stay in KTM We had two very comfortable rooms for 3 nights, around a 10 minute walk to the heart of Thamel. The owners were very flexible when our plans changed and we asked to stay for 2 more nights. The rooms were very comfortable, recently refurbished with clean ensuites and good wifi. Each morning the owners provided a great freshly made breakfast of tea, coffee, eggs, toast and cake. The family were lovely and very hospitable. We couldn’t have asked for anymore. Thank you so much! ##### Lorna Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### peter Sep 9, 2019 ##### peter Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Santiram Jun 15, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fantastic place Very pleasant and homely stay ##### Santiram Stayed 1 night in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 21, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great value and owners who care about their guests This is the 5th hotel of its price class I have stayed in when visiting Kathmandu over the years, and it is by far the best. Comfortable and clean!! Helpful owners and staff, homey. Brand new. The owners know how to make people comfortable and are eager and helpful to do so. They are building more rooms on the upper floors. They have great advice and connections on local tours and trekking. There's real hot water (better in the evenings), and good simple breakfasts for a nominal fee in the beautiful lobby/common area. The only thing to know is it's about a 5-minute walk outside of the main Thamel tourist district, so it's quieter but it's also a little bit removed from the action if that's your thing. I hope to stay there again and again. The beds are great! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 12, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We had a great stay in the exotic house, Sunil and his family make you so welcome you feel like you are a family member...We will return... ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 25, 2018 It was nice place to stay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018
