The hotel offers well-equipped rooms with all the amenities you could want and comfortable beds. The new building features toilets with hand sprayers, but lacks cabinets for folded items. On the downside, there can be some night noise, but there are just enough plugs for your chargers.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with a very comfortable bed, but the overall standard could be improved. The high price may not match the quality of the rooms. The service stands out with friendly and helpful staff, although the hotel lacks certain facilities and better dining options. On the upside, the location is convenient for exploring the city and major tourist spots.

The hotel's rooms need some TLC and renovation but are nice and big, albeit a little dated. The service was excellent, with management and guest services being first-class. The location is relaxing with nicely maintained landscaping but rather limited in space compared to other 5-star hotels. The dining experience offers a wide range of Asian and Anglo tastes but could have more options for a 5-star property.

The hotel is located in a prime spot, offering breathtaking mountain views and easy access to shops and restaurants. The rooms, though homogenous in style, provide a unique experience with the noise of nesting pigeons as a minor drawback. The service is impeccable, with staff going above and beyond to assist guests. The dining options, while leaning towards South Indian cuisine, could benefit from more variety fitting a 5-star property.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of pros and cons. The rooms were beautifully furnished with remarkable Nepalese lattice work but felt a bit small for the price paid. However, the room temperature could not be adjusted beyond 22 degrees, and an update to match other hotels in the area is needed.

The hotel is located in a good spot right on Darbar Marg, making it a relaxing place to walk around or enjoy the spacious surroundings. However, the area can be noisy given the city location.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. On one hand, the rooms were not very well-insulated, making them quite cold even with the heater on. They were located conveniently close to the front desk area and main restaurant. The staff at check-in were friendly. However, there were some issues with service, including unattentiveness like housekeeping arriving early in the morning and vacuuming on a Sunday. Overall, the service was sweet and made the stay like coming home. The location was good, offering a relatively silent environment but lacking a cultural vibe. The hotel had beautiful surroundings and was within walking distance to various attractions in Nepal, but some services were still chargeable which felt outdated. The dining experience was pleasant with a diverse buffet but was expensive considering the additional charges.
