Guest sentiment
- Cleanliness8.3
Generally clean with praise for housekeeping; one review noted a hallway smell on the last day which slightly lowered perceived cleanliness.
- Service9.5
Outstanding, repeatedly praised — staff described as courteous, attentive and compassionate (special mention of Roshan); reception and catering staff highlighted positively.
- Location9.0
Excellent central location near Thamel, palaces and temples; convenient for visitors though driveway/walk to street may be an issue for mobility and mapping/travel times may be misleading.
- Room Quality9.0
Rooms described as modern, spacious and comfortable; guests enjoyed the pool-side dining and comfortable bedroom facilities.
- Amenities8.4
Strong amenities (pool with bar/restaurant, spa, bakery/celebration gestures) but occasional electrical shortages, maintenance work and some inconsistent spa/hair service reduced the score slightly.
- Value for Money9.0
Viewed as very good value — guests specifically called it good value and noted affordable spa services and broad food variety.
- Food and Beverage8.8
Breakfast and buffet widely praised as extensive and amazing; some menu items were hit-or-miss and early breakfast host/entrance desk sometimes unmanned.
- Overall Experience9.2
Highly positive overall stay: warm hospitality, memorable service, beautiful historic setting and repeat-stay intent despite minor hiccups.

Everything was perfect. The welcome, the cleanliness, its position 10 minutes walk from Thamel which is the liveliest district of Kathmandu. The food at the hotel is very good. The pool is clean and well maintained. We were with 2 young children.
