Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a hidden gem deep in the gullies of Thamel. The rooms are very nice, clean, and comfortable, ideal for backpackers, and the staff is great. However, there was an issue with a promised refund that was not honored the next morning.
I loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean and had some character, unlike some hostel dorms, with big wooden bunk beds. The staff insisted I pay for all 7 nights, which I only stayed for 4 nights, but they were always there for me, serving a delicious breakfast and offering useful information. The location is amazing, just a short walk from the Thamel area with its cafes and restaurants.
