Beautiful hotel with great staff that were really friendly and helpful. Just keep in mind that the building is quite old in a neoclassical style so the amenities weren't quite up to par compared to hotels in major cities.

The property was beautiful, the staff was amazing! There was a beautiful bar and a happy hour! The bathroom was a bit small and the room seemed a little dated, but it’s an older palace and the history is so cool. We would return again! The area around the hotel is okay, it’s just very hard to cross a street as the traffic is insane-but that’s all of Kathmandu.
