During my stay at this hotel, I truly enjoyed the great location in the heart of Thamel, which made it easy to explore the area and find nearby restaurants. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, which added to my experience. However, the rooms could use some improvement because they were quite noisy and felt a bit run down. Overall, while the value for money was decent, the experience was somewhat affected by the room condition.
