The hotel is designed in a Nepalese style, with rooms surrounding lush courtyards, abundantly furnished with modern conveniences. The decor is nice but not as stunning as the corridors and social areas. The service is exceptional and attentive, providing a five-star experience. The location is conveniently close to the airport, though the immediate surroundings lack interesting sites. The dining options are satisfactory, mainly suitable after a long trek, but not comparable to top-tier international standards.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was very spacious with lovely Nepali decor, and the common areas like the mediation hall, spa area, yoga hall, and reception were beautifully designed in a Nepalese style. While it's not in the league of luxury brands like Amans or Four Seasons, the ambiance was still charming. The service was exceptional, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable. The location was convenient, especially in terms of proximity to the airport, though dining options nearby were limited. The dining experience offered authentic Nepalese treats and pastries, but fell slightly short compared to international standards. Overall, a delightful experience!

The hotel exudes a beautifully rustic Nepalese decor that carries through to various spaces like the mediation hall, spa area, yoga hall, and reception. The rooms are wonderfully appointed with modern conveniences while maintaining a cozy feel. The service is authentic, caring for both the environment and guests, with a friendly and welcoming staff. The location is convenient for airport transfers but lacks nearby attractions. The dining experience offers excellent options, especially the cinnamon yogurt, though it could have a richer variety. The facilities are well-equipped for a relaxing stay.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms provided ample space, privacy, and stunning views of the Himalayas, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere. The hotel's grounds are truly spectacular and well-maintained, adding to the overall charm of the property. The staff is extremely nice and accommodating, making my stay even more enjoyable. However, the surrounding area lacked significant attractions for leisurely walks, except for the nearby Pashupathi temple.
