First of all, this hotel is NOT in Thamel. The location pin on the map in the description is inaccurate. It's only a few minutes' walk away, but at night the roads are unlit and it feels incredibly dodgy getting there. Do not believe the location pin - it's actually located a bit southwest of Thamel. Though they did pay for my cab ride over (from where the pin was), which I appreciated. As a woman traveling alone, I felt super unsafe, especially since someone tried to get into my room after I went back up to my room after breakfast. I dead bolted it and shouted out, and thankfully nobody was there when I opened the door several minutes later. That was a terrifying experience - could have been someone's mistake, an accident, but I don't know. It's also super loud due to the huge opening connecting the lobby to each floor - so if you want to sleep past 5:30am, stay somewhere else.
The place was a bit dirty and the walls in my room were filthy. This is the first negative review I've ever left for anything online - I normally suck it up and count it part of the experience if a place isn't fantastic - I don't want to bring down a place's reputation based on one stay.
Unless they start charging about $5/night, don't do it.
