I really didn't like the person who work in the front desk of evening shift. He doesn't even know how to talk to the guest. He used street language to me. Moreover, He doesn't respect women. It was my birthday, and my girlfriend came to me as a guest. We were about to go their restaurant Maharaja, but he did't let us go using abusive language. Additionally, The hotel need to be clean. My room had a hot water jug full of dirt on it. Also, the tap water of restrooms smells bad.

This was the 2rd time I stayed in this property. On New Year's eve, they were reluctant to serve anything ordered unless I pay instantly & this was very much annoying & disappointing. They could have easily mentioned in the menu card, specially made for 31st, so that the guest is aware & not felt insulted.

We stay at this hotel often and really enjoy it. The staff is always wonderful and remember us from one visit to the next. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The food is good, and offers a nice range for choices. It is outside of the overcrowded tourist area of Thamel, but close enough for a quick taxi ride if that is where you need to go. There are a lot of places to stay in Kathmandu, but I highly recommend this hotel.

Overall, very good
Very comfortable and quiet hotel.
Being a old property, there was work going on in the opposite room, so the corridor was strewn with work cloth

Bom hotel. Calmo e tranquilo, com a cara do Nepal
Hotel muito bonito. Tem um restaurante na cobertura com música local ao vivo. Funcionários muito educados, e bom quarto, ainda que antigo, mas com um excelente aspecto geral. Não fica no centro (embora seja possível ir a pé) mas a corrida de táxi dura poucos minutos e tem valor aproximado de 500 rúpias (pouco menos de 5U$). Vale a pena

fair choice for a weary traveler
A solid if dated business hotel a bit of way from touristic hotspots, often priced competitively and thus worth a stay, notch above the standard Thamel smaller hotels.

Grand Hotel wasn’t so Grand.
Bathroom flush did not work. Very low water pressure. Water was luke warm. No tissues in lobby. Breakfast buffet had a cappuccino machine but there was an extra charge for it. Good was mediocre. Had to summon wait staff continuously.
