“Staying here puts you right in the heart of Thamel, and the rooftop offers a peaceful escape with sunset views. While some rooms vary in terms of noise and amenities like consistent hot water, the overall value and welcoming staff make it a memorable home base in Kathmandu. The downstairs restaurant alone is worth a visit.”
