If comfort, not luxury is your goal, and you are tired of the chaos of Thamel, then come stay here. The comfortable hotel is located just off the Ring Road and close enough to Swayambhunath to enjoy an early daily walk with the Nepalese people making their daily pilgrimage to the this holy site. Breakfast is included and very delicious, either Western style or Indian style. The food at The Curve restaurant attached to the hotel is clean, safe, and very delicious for vegetarians and non-vegetarians. I recommend the spicy vegetable sesame balls, jhol momo (think momos in a spicy sauce), and paneer butter masala. They have a good selection of non-alcohol and alcohol drinks (ask for the hot ginger honey lemon with rum). The rooms are cleaned daily, and a liter bottle of mineral water provided daily. The hotel is also an easy walk to the Yellow Monastery and a longer walk, but still nice to the White Monastery (have you heard of the kung fu nuns of Nepal?). The 2 brothers, Atit and Jeet, speak perfect English, helped me recover my lost luggage this year from China Southern airlines and would not accept any gratuity for their service. They can assist you with taxi service, door to door, to any place (Garden of Dreams, the Durbar Marg district, Pashupati, and Boudhanath temple) in Kathmandu Valley. The money you save staying here, can be used to enjoy other sites and restaurants in Kathmandu. Again, the accommodations are comfortable, not luxurious, but this is Kathmandu, not Paris, Tokyo, London, or New York. I have stayed here 2 years in a row and plan on staying here again when I return to Kathmandu. Did I mention, they now have a Golden Retriever as their hotel pet, named Bosco, who is very...
Read moreA peaceful beautiful restaurant located at Sitapaila area. It's in between Sitapaila and Halchok, Swayambu. Very beautiful restaurant located inside hotel premises. Garden is really beautiful and there's a seating arrangement outside. The staff needs to be more friendly. At times you may have to call them repeatedly. Ambience wise it's awesome!||||Chicken curry with rice | Rs 400 (Add 10% service charge, Add 13% VAT) | ®️ Rating: 5/5||Chicken curry is very delicious.

Read moreThe Mystic Buddha is a few hundred metres south of Swayambhu Chowk; as such it's very convenient for travel along the ring road in any direction (less than 15 minutes to Patan by taxi). The hotel at first seems to be in the middle of nowhere, but there are many walks you can do to the local hills and monasteries, a surprising number of good restaurants nearby (Lumbini Tandoori! And even a Manang Momo + Thai restaurant), and good value for money. It's not the cheapest, but the place is spotless, the food is good, and the commute to anywhere is easier than most places in Kathmandu. I'll definitely be sleeping here again. Not the hottest hot water, and a loud coughing dog, are the...
