We stayed for one night, thinking that the hotel is close to Thamel and will be helpful for shopping. However, we did not have good experience with the hotel. The electricity was not available did not work until 5 hours of our checking in. Even though we booked for a super delux room which was supposed to be the best in the hotel, no body paid heed to the status of the room. After a lot of hustle with the hotel manager, we could get a good room for one night. The hotel staff was extremely down to earth and helped us get things for our kid of 2 years. The restaurant however, was a very good experience, the staff was extremely helpful. Though the food is not great at all and the breakfast is better not to eat, they served Indian food for us specifically to make us comfortable. Overall, I suggest that though the hotel is next door to the shopping area; it is better to verify with the hotel on their basic facility before booking this hotel.
