This hotel is situated in a great location, just off Thamel, making it convenient to explore Kathmandu without the noise. The rooms are quiet and offer nice views, but I felt they could use a bit more space and some amenities like a fridge. The service was fantastic and very friendly, while the attached restaurant served a delicious but slightly pricy meal. Overall, it's a solid choice, particularly for its location and service, but be prepared for less spacious rooms.

The hotel is in a great location, just a short walk from the bustling area of Thamel, which made exploring effortless. The rooms are spacious and clean, with an amazing balcony view of Kathmandu. The staff is very helpful, though the service experience was somewhat mixed due to a flight ticket issue. Overall, it’s a comfortable place to stay, but climbing up to the sixth floor multiple times a day was a bit exhausting for me.

Overall, my stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The rooms were spacious and had a super comfy bed, making it easy to relax after a long day. The location is fantastic, tucked away from the hustle and bustle but still close to major sites. However, I was a bit disappointed with the dining options and felt that the restaurant was a bit pricey for what it offered. I also found the service to be a mixed bag, which detracted from the experience.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is tucked away from the main street, making it surprisingly quiet – perfect for relaxation. The attached Black Olive Cafe offered great food options, although it ended up being my most expensive meal in Nepal. The lack of an elevator was a minor inconvenience since my room was on the fifth floor, but overall, I would consider staying here again for the value and location.

I had a pleasant stay at Thamel Grand, which is conveniently located just off the busy Thamel area yet still quiet enough for a restful night.
