The current condition of the hotel was not that great, may be due to the cover. I felt okay as I stayed during the discount rate.

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.

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

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.

Comfortable hotel with good service
I was in Nepal with 3 of my graduate students and one had to be hospitalized. I needed a hotel close to the hospital and wanted a well built hotel resistant to the tremors currently affecting Kathmandu. Through Hotels.com I was able to get a good price on the Grand Hotel that met my needs. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The hotel is an older one and shows some wear but still in good shape. There were limited options for eating in the neighborhood so took most of my meals in the hotel. If you need a hotel in this neighborhood I would recommend the hotel especially at the rates through Hotels.com.

Reasonable hotel in the middle of poor area
The hotel is overall good. The room was clean, internet worked all the time despite frequent electricity problems. Air conditioning didn't work: apparently they turn it off completely in winter. The breakfast was quite modest: potatoes, beans, soya sausages, one sort of juice and coffee. The area around the hotel is poor and depressing. Need to take a taxi to get to all city cites. About 7-8km from the airport, but the ride may take about an hour during daytime.

Worst ever experience
It was the worst ever leisure experience .i ever had .... Smiles ,politeness and willingness or zeal to help was completely missing ... Staff's approach was as if they are either doing a favour or are least interested in business... Hotel can be termed as a business hotel and not for sure a fun or leisure hotel.....room service , rest service , reception or entire service part is a nightmare ....that welcome part was completely missing .... Not a value for money proposition for sure .....

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

とても快適なホテルです。スタッフの方は親切でお部屋もきれいです。朝食も美味しいです。 中心部からは少し距離があります。がんばれば歩けなくは無いですが…。バイクや車が押し寄せてくるような交通量が多い道を歩かなければいけないので大変です。

nice room - disappointing garden and pool
The rooms were nice and big. The bed was really good and the air conditioning system worked well. The breakfast was ok - fresh made omelets and other things, you were sure to leave full. The pool and garden area were however very disappointing. The garden is very small and located next to the street and at the time we visited a construction ite as well. It is not a place for quite and relaxing away from the busy streets of Kathmandu. The pool area is not very well kept and there are only two beds available. As with the garden this is not a place you want to spend a lot of time for relaxing. It tKes around 20-30 min to walk to the centre of Kathmandu in streets with lots of traffic. Choose this hotel for the nice rooms and friendly staff not for the location, garden and pool.

Keeping your suggestions in mind, i would like to take this opportunity to firstly apologise for the construction happening nearby however this is something which is out of our hands.
