Visited to dine at the restaurant. Parking available outside but a little difficult to access the front stairs for me, due to mobility issues. But got into the restaurant. Staff were lovely as always, a nice ambience in the restaurant and good service. Many different dishes to choose from on the menu. Lovely food and generous portions at good prices.

Very nice stay. It is a quirky hotel. The room was lovely and clean and we had a great night's rest. Outside the rooms could do with a refresh and some maintenance.

Really close to railway station but also handy for town. The hotel is somewhat tired but it is brilliant value. Service is excellent. Rooms are clean and have everything necessary. The bathrooms have been upgraded although some may find the air freshener a little overpowering. The restaurant serves good Nepalese food and the breakfast is good value.

Always incredible quality food with lots of flavour. When I have ordered for collection it's always on time, fantastic value too with enough for two meals - currently eating last night's reheated and it's still amazing! Always had a great experience when dining in the restaurant too.

Previous reviews are accurate for the guest house. Rooms are clean, and bedding is fresh, and mattresses are comfortable. Ours were replaced with a taller mattresses during our stay. The bathroom was very modern, but the furniture and some parts were worn. All rooms require you to walk up a narrow stairs to get too. Staff was very friendly and quickly got to know guests and will carry up your baggage to your room. Great location for accessing train and bus station and there is a leisure center close by that accept drop in to work out.
