“Staying here places you right in Thamel, a short walk from shops and the palace, and the staff go above and beyond to assist with planning and logistics; the included breakfast on the terrace provides a delicious start to the day. It's the kind of place where you can quickly feel at ease, which, in my opinion, makes it a particularly good choice.”
