I had a lovely experience at the hotel, enjoying the quirky decor and spacious rooms. The location in Thamel is perfect for exploring, with plenty of restaurants and shops just a short walk away. The staff were always courteous and went above and beyond, especially when they upgraded us to the penthouse suite. However, the breakfast could use improvement, and noise from the nearby restaurant was a bit bothersome at night.

I was really looking forward to my stay, but unfortunately, it was disappointing. The hotel had a great location close to everything, and the staff did their best, but the cleanliness and comfort of the room were major letdowns. I did enjoy the massage services, but I wouldn't return considering the overall issues.
