Aloft Kathmandu Thamel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel with helpful, friendly staff, immaculate and spacious climate controlled-rooms. Great gym for working out using machines, free weights, treadmills. Nice location for shopping and wondering around Thamel area. Arranged early check in which I really appreciated after flying from West Coast for many hours. Hotel arranged ride from airport at reasonable price. Buffet breakfast with wide assortment of foods. Restaurant portions were generous and satisfying. I’d go back here if ever in Kathmandu again. "
