This is a beautiful, well appointed, clean, comfortable hotel. I highly recommend you stay here whilst you visit Kathmandu. The staff are very helpful, efficient and thorough. The breakfast options are delicious and fresh. The interior design of the rooms are unique and beautiful. The courtyard is a nice spot for an afternoon beer and some snacks. The hotel is off the main streets of Thamel so you can escape the hustle and bustle but it is very close to everything you need. 10/10.

Very nice small hotel with lots of cultural decorative details. Beds were lovely, breakfast was tasty, and staff were very kind and helpful. There is an entrance courtyard with both outside and covered areas for sitting, and this is where breakfast is served. We stayed at the hotel both before and after our Himalayan trek, and staff remembered us. We had to adjust some dates for the second stay, and they alloyed it no problem. They also stored oit luggage.
