"There is a very nice courtyard where we enjoyed our breakfast, each floor of the hotel has it's own balcony and there's also a simple roof terrace where we liked to sit in the evening."

“This hotel caught my attention with its Newari design and quiet garden nestled in Thamel. The fact that it provides a peaceful escape while keeping you close to the city's bustle makes it quite special. From what I gathered, it's a solid choice for those seeking both culture and comfort on a budget.”
