7.6/10

I stayed at this hotel that offered a unique Nepalese atmosphere with simple Tibetan decor and carefully selected cultural artwork of the region adorning the walls. The view over Monkey Temple was just breathtaking. The location was perfect for exploring Thamel with its variety of restaurants yet faced an alley. The service, although not guaranteeing all services, was top-notch. The dining experience left much to be desired with limited options, but the facilities were well-kept and enjoyable. Overall, a stay filled with cultural charm and friendly service, but with some dining limitations.
