My family and I liked being there. The stuff where easy going and best and offered guidance. The food was appetising with lots of choice! The location of the hotel was incredible, close to everything. Plus, it was just off all the restaurants and the lake are as well as a quiet alley, away from the craziness of Kathmandu.
