a satisfactory stay

breakfast buffet many choices helpful staff fitness centre cardio machines low quality
The breakfast buffet offered many choices. I enjoyed both european and nepalese dishes. The staff were very helpful with my request for a late check-out. I also found the front desk staff very efficient at currency exchange, THAT was really convenient.
The fitness centre needs more equipment. I noticed only three cardio machines were available. The air conditioning in my room was not effective. The soap and shampoo provided were of low quality.

Breakfast was AMAZING!!! It included many diverse options to satisfy any craving. The helpful staff swiftly arranged a taxi, allowing me to explore the city. They even accommodated an early check-in at 9:00 am.
The fitness center requires an upgrade. The equipment felt old and lacked variety. I only saw three cardio machines, limiting workout options.
