After looking more closely, I realized that the average is low because of reviews during their renovations a few years ago and there aren't enough recent ones. This is a shame because it is a great place to stay. Absolutely the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed at in Nepal. I took a room in the newer section and it was spacious and comfortable and tastefully decorated. The service was excellent and every staff member from the desk to the cleaning people were very friendly and attentive. The newer section is set back from the street, so there was no Thamel noise, and the windows look down on the nice garden and koi pond below. ##### Michele Stayed 10 nights in Jun 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ziyu 18 Jan 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I recently booked a Deluxe room at your hotel, paid in full, and arrived expecting the room I reserved. However, upon check-in, I was placed in a smaller room on the 3rd floor without any prior notification. This room is clearly $20 less than the Deluxe room I originally paid for. I requested either to be moved to the correct room or to receive the $20 price difference as a refund. Shockingly, your staff suggested I cancel my reservation and rebook for the smaller room, even though I had already checked in, and it’s not possible to cancel the reservation on Expedia after I check in. This is completely unacceptable. If you had informed me before my arrival that my reserved room was unavailable, I would have had the option to cancel or adjust my booking. Instead, you allowed someone to extend their stay in the room I booked and expected me to settle for a smaller room at the same price. I paid for a Deluxe room, and I expect either the room I reserved or a proper refund for the price difference. Your team’s explanation about waiting to see the price difference you received is irrelevant and makes no sense. I paid $20 more for a better room, and I should not have to bear the consequences of your mismanagement. This experience has been incredibly disappointing, and your approach to resolving it is far from professional. ##### Ziyu ### 6/10 Okay #### Izumi 8 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities 部屋にエアコン&電気ポット&冷蔵庫がなかったです。安い部屋だと、そうなる場合があるらしいので、事前に確認した方がいいです。シャワーは、ホースはなかったです。 場所はタメル地区なので、土産屋や広場に歩いて行けてとても便利でした。スタッフは皆、いい感じの人でした。 ##### Izumi Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 22 Nov 2019 Really comfortable beds, good location and they offered a free airport pick up ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good accommodation nice staff friendly and clean room ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### JJ 27 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service 가격대비 좋다. 전체적인 시설 좋고 깨끗한 편이나 야외 테라스에서 나오는 소음과 담배 냄새가 특히 야간에 심하다.

The room was rundown. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Dale, Australia 6 Feb 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Great guest house in Thamel The guest house was being renovated over winter so it wasn't at it's usual best, The staff were fantastic and volunteered to go out to the airport to pick up my delayed baggage when I couldn't do it. The room was fine although the bathroom floor got very wet when the shower was used. I'd go back because of the great staff. ##### Dale ### 8/10 Good #### Dale 27 Dec 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great staff rescued my bag! The hotel was being renovated but all was fine. But the best thing is that the staff volunteered to go to the airport to recover my bag lost by Air Asia as I was out of town for a week. They were exceptional. ##### Dale ### 8/10 Good #### George, Shanghai, China. 30 Mar 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly and helpful staff!

Basic accomodations but clean and safe. They have a safe if you require it as well as locked storage if you're out of town for a few days and need to store luggage/bag, etc. Friendly staff who speak good english. Reasonable prices (I paid 1200 rs per night while I was there). They also have free wifi which is nice. ##### Brett ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 2 Nov 2014 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### hôtel très accueillant mais de confort moyen..

The room was spacious but not clean. Basic requirements like brush, toothpaste, shaving kit not given, very small pieces of soap given, staff reluctant to provide more. Truly cheap hotel. ##### Singh ### 4/10 Poor #### groovytour, HK 12 May 2014 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 便利な立地のホテル タメル中心部にあり、便利な立地。 Bathはお湯は出ますが、シャワーの出がもう少しかと。 値段相応かと思います。 ##### groovytour ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Pet-Friendly Hotels in Knaresborough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Knaresborough-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d4670-tPetFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Marais](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marais-Paris-Hotels-Budget-Hotels.0-n178677-0-tBudgetHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Iceland](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Iceland.d79.Hotel-Destinations) > > [Astala Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bangor-Hotels-Astala-Guesthouse.h22202661.Hotel-Information) > > [Le Méridien Wien](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vienna-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Wien.h922305.Hotel-Information) > > [Donna Camilla Savelli – VRetreats](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Donna-Camilla-Savelli-VRetreats.h2113088.Hotel-Information) > > [Jolie Ville Hotel & Spa Kings Island Luxor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Luxor-Hotels-Jolie-Ville-Resort-Spa-Kings-Island-Luxor.h8758.Hotel-Information) > > [The Shandwick Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Invergordon-Hotels-The-Shandwick-Inn.h48863797.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Tanit](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benidorm-Hotels-Hotel-Tanit.h4099838.Hotel-Information) > > [Kudo Hotel & Beach Club (Adults Only)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Phuket-Hotels-Kudo-Hotel.h21352992.Hotel-Information) > > [Salamander Washington DC](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Washington-Hotels-Salamander-Washington-DC.h1044257.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Waterpark in Lanzarote](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lanzarote-Hotels-Waterpark-Hotel.0-0-d282-twaterparkhotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Skyline Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Skyline-Hotel.h9279.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Skopelos](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Skopelos-Hotels.s50-0-d6047869.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Pool in Swindon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Swindon-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d9956-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [White Heather Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Llandudno-Hotels-White-Heather-Hotel.h34125177.Hotel-Information) > > [Poas Volcano Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vara-Blanca-Hotels-Poas-Volcano-Lodge.h5259118.Hotel-Information) > > [Mistral Hotel Solo Travel Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Platanias-Hotels-Mistral-Hotel-Solo-Travel-Only.h21465147.Hotel-Information) > > [Leonardo Royal Hotel Venice Mestre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Venice-Hotels-Leonardo-Royal-Hotel-Venice-Mestre.h33050026.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with a View in York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Hotel-With-A-View.0-0-d5489-thotelwithaview.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Bodrum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bodrum-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d745-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Melia Hotels in Palmanova](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palmanova-Calvia-Hotels-Melia.0-n6050487-0--bMelia.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Penarth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Penarth-Hotels.d182878.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Eindhoven (EIN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/ein/london-to-eindhoven) ### Activities > [Things to do in Fleetwood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Fleetwood.d6341699.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### General ---
