“This yoga-focused hotel, nestled in Kathmandu's vibrant Thamel district, offers a unique blend of cultural immersion and modern comforts. The rooftop restaurant, although potentially noisy due thin windows, promises panoramic views alongside diverse dining options, and its proximity to major tourist attractions makes it a convenient base. While some aspects of the property may show their age, its emphasis on wellness and location near cultural treasures are notable advantages.”
