    The stay here was awesome for 2 night in Kathmandu. I had impressive wonderful room with a view to the monkey temple, ac and bathrooms. The location was great and quiet, at a walking distance from a walled palace. Furthermore, the area was great:)))

    I had a fantastic stay at Encounter Nepal. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and comfortable. The room was spacious and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The breakfast buffet was delicious and had a wide variety of options. The hotel also provided secure storage for my luggage while I went on a trek. The location was convenient and close to some great bars. I highly recommend this hotel for its excellent service and amenities. I will definitely be staying here again in the future.

    The hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of all the major tourist attractions, making it easy to explore the city. It is also next to the main tourist hub of Thamel, where you can find plenty of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. In terms of rooms, they are comfortable and offer great amenities such as free bottles of water, tea, coffee, and a kettle. The bathroom has been recently renovated and provides hot water at a good temperature. The friendly staff is dedicated to customer service, ensuring a pleasant stay for guests.

    The hotel has a pigeon problem, which can be quite annoying during the day.

    As a budget traveler, I loved the affordable price of the hotel and the delicious food served at the restaurant. The staff was friendly and always willing to help. The location was convenient, allowing me to explore many of the city's top attractions on foot.

    Friendly staff, especially the travel manager who arranged a last-minute sightseeing taxi and the receptionist who helped confirm a flight. Pleasant stay, comfortable location, and nice rooms. Great rooftop seating area with a view. Will recommend for a stay in the city.

    We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The location in the very center next to Thamel was perfect for exploring the sights and activities of this city. The hotel facilities were excellent, with clean and spacious rooms that offered a beautiful view of the city. The breakfast provided a wide range of options, both Western and Asian, and the staff was friendly and attentive. We especially appreciated their helpfulness in providing information about transportation and local attractions.

    Nothing we didn't like to be fair.
