Location

The location, and value for money for the season

Price of food in the restaurant

Letzte Station vor der fiesen Strecke nach Manang. War sehr erholsam.

Amazing place,the view from this hotel is so beautiful you can see the mountains and the valley directly from the room.The pool is also nice,very relaxing.The rooms are really big and comfortable.They even checked us in early in the morning because we arrived at 6 am. Would love to come back here again

Nice enough, but definitely seen better days. Not as it looks in the pictures. Lots of work going on. Really nice food in the restaurant.

Perfekcja

Hotel did not provide the room.

What a beautiful hotel! Facilities and staff were great and the location and views from the hotel are breath taking.

Really great hotel in Besisahar (please correct the address on Booking - it is right in Besisahar town, not up in the walley where the map shows). High quality, AC rooms, swimming pool, green garden, great view, welcoming staff, good restaurants, really fair price.

loved the area with nice and clean swimming Pool. Staffs are so kind and helpful. we are lucky that we got the free upgrade to Villa Room.

nothing

Ambience, room, peaceful

None

Spacious and in the center of Besishahar where you can find jeeps to start your trekking trip; polite staff, very spacious room with balcony; nice working AC

Seems run down and old, need some refurnishing, not very clean in the room; poor soundproofing

Great place.

Everything is excellent than my expectations

Service, food, clean, view,

Staff were polite and friendly

Nothing much to say

It is a true gateway to the Himalayas. We stayed here twice, once on the way up, and once on the way down from the Himalayas. Pros: 1. Amazing views in the morning towards the mountains. 2. The restaurant is also really good for Nepalese standards. 3. Last reliable and good place before entering the mountains. 4. Decent rooms for Nepal.

Cons: 1. We were shown the rooms and told 6000 total for 2 rooms. Booking.com was showing 4700 total. I mentioned this to the reception staff who started to say this is for one room only. So I booked the stay over booking.com. Then a phonecall with owner happened, not the most civilised exchange to be honest. The owner told us over the phone the 4700 price was wrong and demanded we cancel our booking and pay 6000 cash, which I rejected, and negotiated otherwise. We stayed paying the booking.com price (after a lengthy negotiation and very impolite and dishonest behaviour from the owner). Overall, the behaviour shown by the staff and owner handling the situation was pretty poor during this check-in experience, treating us like we're stupid. 2. The room quality is good for Nepal, but certainly not a "resort" in a western sense. It is a cheap US motel quality at best. So bear this in mind when booking.

The staff were very friendly particularly during dinner time.

There were many things we didn’t like about this property. we paid for a deluxe hotel but it was by no means deluxe. The room felt dirty with extremely old, run down chairs & sofa and dirty curtains. The toilet stopped working as soon as we arrived and wouldn’t flush. The shower leaked. There were flies everywhere. Paint was coming off the walls.

Good view from rooms

Price charged was significantly higher than booking.com quote. Staff took more than 45 min for check out, lacked English. Breakfast was not good. Coffee was abysmal. Pool bathrooms were not clean. Parking was limited and we were parked in for another 20 minutes after the painful 45 min check out. This hotel needs to invest in training staff

Great jumping off point for the Annapurna circuit! Staff was able to help set up jeep ride to Jagat with no problem. Food in the restaurant was delicious, best paneer butter masala.

The service was excellent. Right from the reception, service at the restaurant was awesome

easy to locate and able to book online

not much privacy from day visitors

Fantastic support from the staff, they helped us figure out transport from Kathmandu and went above and beyond to make sure we arrived / had a warm welcome at 11pm! Great, comfortable room and delicious breakfast.
