“This hotel's Thamel address places it within steps of Kathmandu's bustle, but its quiet side street offers a welcome respite. I particularly appreciate the rooftop terrace-a place to take in sweeping Himalayan views, before diving back into the city. It's a solid value, bolstered by thoughtful service and airport transfers.”
