Great place - free yoga in the mornings and meditation Mon, Wed and Fri in the evenings and they are all fantastic. The breakfast was included, which just makes life easier - it's simple, but good. If you stay a few days (first I stayed 4 nights, then went to Namo Buddha and came back for another 5 nights) they remember you quickly, I barely had to say anything at breakfast; they know what I want! The reception (all staff) are really helpful - I got information on taxi rates, they organized a drop off and pick up taxi for me for Namo Buddha - the driver was great, locations of places, and one day internet wasn't working and I had to check email so they let me use their computer. In addition, one night I didn't realize it was so late and ordered dinner, but the kitchen was closed, but the staff still offered to make me a Nepali Thali, which was delicious. The location is good, it's "quiet" for Thamel, probably the quietest you'll get if you want to stay in this busy area, but it pays off because there are great places to eat really close by and/or places for wifi - I am a solo female traveler, so at night this was important and it was great to have that freedom! There are three places you have to eat if you stay here - the Nepali/Tibetan kitchen in the same alley (where are the bikes are parked) and get the Thukpa!, Pumpernickel Bakery and Ork2 Falafel stand! The bed was comfy, wifi is pretty good for Nepal, and hot water and electricity works when you need it.
