The staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are a good size with en-suite bathroom and the beds are comfortable. There is good WiFi and they have luggage storage if you need to leave luggage behind whilst going trekking. I would say the only slightly negative part is it’s location as it is just outside of the main Thamel area down a fairly busy road. Saying that it will only take you about 10 minute walk to get into the heart of Thamel and is good value compared to prices of Hotels in Thamel itself. Overall this is a good option for people on a budget who don’t mind a short walk to Thamel. ##### Timothy Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Riu Cancun - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Cancun-Hotels-Riu-Cancun-All-Inclusive.h1087292.Hotel-Information) > > [Kauai Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Lihue-Hotels-Kauai-Inn.h2457742.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Fort St John](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-St-John-Hotels-Econo-Lodge-Fort-St-John.h793115.Hotel-Information) > > [The Revolution Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Boston-Hotels-The-Revolution-Hotel.h30080227.Hotel-Information) > > [Dwarika's Sanctuary](https://www.expedia.ca/Dhulikhel-Hotels-The-Dwarikas-Resort.h6538600.Hotel-Information) > > [North Creek Resort Condos](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-North-Creek-Resort-Condos.h51141139.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Glengarry Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Glasgow-Hotels-Best-Western-Glengarry-Hotel.h6213.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Colosseum](https://www.expedia.ca/Colosseum-Hotels.0-l6046257-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Fort McPherson](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-McPherson-Hotels.d10674.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [BestWestern Hotels in Bracebridge](https://www.expedia.ca/Bracebridge-Hotels-Best-Western.0-0-d59252--bBestWestern.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6057934-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Alberta (YQF) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqf/yxx/red-deer-to-abbotsford) > > [Flights from Genoa (GOA) to Rome (FCO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/goa/fco/genoa-to-rome) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Denver (DEN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/den/montreal-to-denver) > > [KLM](https://www.expedia.ca/KLM-Flights.cKL.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Las Vegas (LAS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/las/vancouver-to-las-vegas) > > [Flights from Velika Gorica (ZAG) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/zag/yyz/zagreb-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Lincoln (YFC) to Cancun (CUN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yfc/cun/fredericton-to-cancun) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Simpson Bay (SXM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/sxm/toronto-to-philipsburg) > > [Alitalia](https://www.expedia.ca/ITA-Airways-Flights.cAZ.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Miami (MIA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/mia/montreal-to-miami) > > [Porter Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Porter-Airlines-Flights.cPD.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yvr/calgary-to-vancouver) ### Cars > [Enterprise](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rental.cET.Travel-Guide-CarRentalCompany) ### Packages > [Aspen Grove Golf Course](https://www.expedia.ca/Aspen-Grove-Golf-Course-Prince-George.d553248621561096530.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Professor Wem's Adventure Golf](https://www.expedia.ca/Professor-Wems-Adventure-Golf-West-Edmonton.d553248621532864391.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Shibuya Crossing](https://www.expedia.ca/Shibuya-Crossing-Shibuya.d6233492.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Wilson Creek](https://www.expedia.ca/Sechelt-Wilson-Creek.dx553248635976399370) > > [Visit Zaandam](https://www.expedia.ca/Zaandam.dx5361)
