My stay here felt like a movie. After a long walks around Thamel I’d return to this safe place to rinse off and sleep like a rock. The baggage storage has been key for me as I’m out trekking for the next week. Trustworthy, kind folks. The breakfast also stands out - clean, calm — can’t wait to try to Swiss rosti upon my return. Excellent stay, definitely returning on future trips to Nepal.

This is a truly authentic Nepalese hotel with original antique pieces. The hotel is super clean and the staff is very helpful. The location could not be better, situated on a quiet road but only a minute walk from the busy streets of Thamel. You can have your breakfast for lunch which I particularly appreciated as I do not like eating in the mornings. Thank you.
