Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers beautifully furnished rooms with a hint of Nepali architecture and all modern amenities. The service is exceptional, with attentive staff making sure guests feel comfortable. The location is fantastic, providing a quiet and beautiful escape. However, the dining experience could be improved with better choices. Overall, a great stay with some minor room for enhancement.
My stay at the resort was a mix of highs and lows. The rooms were clean and spacious, which was a relief after weeks of trekking, but the proximity to the noisy indoor pool was a downside. The service, especially from Bandana at reception, was exceptional, however, the dining options were limited. The location was perfect for a tranquil getaway on the outskirts of Kathmandu.
