The hotel is situated on a busy street in Thamel, offering a central location near the market. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful, but the rooms can get noisy with pigeons and become crowded during peak times. The breakfast buffet needs urgent improvement, yet the friendly service and convenient location compensate for some shortcomings.

The balcony was a lovely touch, although better lighting would improve the ambiance. The service was exceptionally helpful and accommodating, always available to assist with a smile.
