I stayed at this hotel for three nights as part of a work trip. The location is great and very central. There is a wonderful outdoor, grassed area, with a lovely pool, tennis courts and jogging track. It’s a huge benefit, given the madness of Kathmandu. The rooms are very clean and comfortable however request a room as high up... More

I had the misfortune of spending 1 night at this hotel on Match 12th this year. In short, I am never staying here again. When I walked into the room, the bathroom was filthy and there was something left behind that I cannot discuss here.

We came to the Sunrise Restaurant for dinner, since my travel guide recommended the Yak & Yeti for its Nepali cuisine. Buffet dinner for two was about 20 USD per person, pricy for Nepali standards but very reasonable for ours. The quality of the food was quite good, although I thought the Kebab restaurant at Hotel Annapurna just across Durbar... More

This is a very nice hotel conveniently located in the business of Katmandu. There is local shopping within walking distance. The hotel grounds are nicely kept and food is good. However the restaurant is buffet style and tended to get repetitive. Rooms were clean and staff was responsive.
