After being kept awake by barking dogs over 10 sleepless nights in Kathmandu’s Thamel zone, I decided to go upmarket for 5 days in a location away from the noise and pollution. Purna’s photos make it look like a typical Indian pseudo palace hotel, but the hotel is in reality more elegant and refined. The owner’s main business is renovating historic Nepali temples in the traditional style, and the hotel showcases the woodwork the traditional Newari style, including its own small museum of carved artefacts. The carpentry throughout varies from very fine to rather rough and ready, but it feels authentic to the vernacular of ancient Nepal. The hotel is spread across several buildings at different levels surrounding garden enclosures, and includes a swimming pool. The view looks over Kathmandu city from a high vantage point. It’s on the outskirts of the built-up region of Kathmandu and Patan, and mostly free of traffic and barking dogs. The room was nicely appointed. The commodious breakfast plate included both a continental array – juice, coffee, fruit salad, porridge with honey, plus toast, butter & jam & a combined full English breakfast - omelette, sausages, baked beans, fried tomato & salad. The coffee is fine. The lunch/supper options have very reasonable prices. The service was exemplary – kind and courteous! Worth visiting: To escape the hubbub, Godawari Botanical Gardens is definitely worth a visit - feels very natural with families dancing on the lawns to Nepalese folk music and children splashing in the streams. 20min taxi drive – recommend the Pathao app to book cars or bikes at a cheaper rate. Sirupate Trout Farm Restaurant, 15mins drive. The trout is fresh straight from the farm water troughs beside the restaurant – Cost 1800NR per kg ($13 or £10). 1/2kg was big enough for 2. Don't confuse venue with 'Village Trout Farm' situated 200m before Sirupate's location.

Saffs are so polite and Helpfulll.

The accommodation is very new and facilities within are installed very smartly; like lighting system was perfectly installed and awesome decoration.

Exceptional service, personnel at reception is kind and helpful; Inner garden is beautiful and quiet, breakfast and lunch/dinner are very tasty, and our waiter Prabesh at the restaurant was attentive and nice; and I loved mango smoothie)

Location is very good (in Thamel).Aircon, hot water, towel... Clean rooms, restaurant. Hospitality is perfect.

Everything! It is located close in the Thamel area but away from the crowd and noise. A 10 min walk to the Dunbar square. There are many cafes and restaurants around. We slept very well on the super comfortable beds. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great and generous. The laundry service was excellent and not expensive at all! I highly recommend this hotel if you are in Kathmandu.

The rooms were clean and service 10 out of 10. Bars, cafes, shops and restaurants all within a step away. Definitely a must try. The Resturant in the hotel was great and their breakfast.
