The stay was into a local locale, permitting me a glimpse into the Nepali culture and ambience. The hotel is situated in the heart of the city, in Thamel. If you stood into the balcony of your room, you would see balcony of another house at two arms' length, a very famous temple few feet away, a first-hand view of the spiritual world at the temple, children playing right there on the street few inches away...all in all an exhilarating view of life in Nepal right from your room. Above all this present building has many floors- roof top gives real nice view of other buildings/area from top.
The second thing which I really liked about the hotel and the hosts being an alone traveller is their hospitality. Puja was nice, friendly and caring and made me (and other residents of the hotel) feel right at home. Puja served personalized food and tea with extra delicious homemade treats. After she placed my breakfast on the table on the roof top, she sat with me while I ate my breakfast, gave me company of someone like a sister/friend. Similarly, I remember chatting away with Puja, Dil and few more residents on the dinner table for almost two to three hours. The hosts are extremely warm and I can say that I received their time, attention and care. Puja and Dil are very helpful. Dil bought me a local sim card on request and offered to make arrangement for cab to Nagarkot and airline ticket for Mt Everest on best rates possible.
i have had the most unique & wonderful stay with them.
