The people were all so sweet and readily available. The food at breakfast was delicious and the restaurant staff were very accommodating regarding all meals. I stayed with my very elderly grandfather and he was very safe and well looked after even when I wasn’t there. The pool was gorgeous, clean, and refreshing and the pool bar had some of the best drinks I’ve ever had. The area around the hotel was abundant with restaurants and quirky shops. The hotel was kind enough to call taxis for you so you didn’t have to walk into oncoming Kathmandu traffic to acquire one on your own (although you should prob do that for the experience anyway). The only complaint that I had was that depending on where you were in the hotel, the smell of cigarettes could be a little too much, esp if you have sensitive lungs/respiratory problems. The rooms were spacious, clean, and contained beautiful artwork that was reminiscent of the hotels past as a palace.
