They unfortunately left the new girl on her own and she was a bit confused about what I owed. It took a lot longer than expected, but thankfully my flight was delayed so it wasn't an issue getting to the airport on time. Also, the management later contacted me because they thought I hadn't paid my full bill, but it was because hotels.com/Expedia didn't give them the full amount even..."

"This hotel is clean, close to many restaurants, shops and central to all things tourist life but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood area so very quiet at night. The restaurant has good food too. If you want authentic Nepalese cuisine ask for it as normally they tone down the chili for the tourists. Breakfast was good. AC works great too as well as fast WiFi. Staff and Service were exceptional as they kept our bags for a few days when we were trekking tigers. We would stay here again."
