The Majestic Bed & Breakfast

Great location, 10-15min walk to Thamel on the way many shops and cafes. Quiet area. Clean space and helpful stuff. Highly recommended.

Room was good but it's on the small side. Staff was very friendly. The included breakfast was nice to have (choice of eggs, a few apple pieces, toast w. jam & butter & tea or coffee (toast & drink can be refilled). There is a short cut to Naya Bazaar Marg and it's paved, so no need to navigate the dirt road. It's a detour if Thamel is your destination though.

- For the room w/o bathroom, there is only one BR on the 1st floor, there are no other BR's on other floors you could use. I hadn't encountered that in a long time. I also didn't feel comfortable with the BR itself. - One time, I visited the BR and the floor had been left extremely dirty. Picture someone with muddy outside shoes walking around a wet floor. - Other guests smoked in their rooms and the smoke seeped into the hallway. - Some of the other local guests also spoke quite loudly one night past 11pm. - The breakfast is usually taken on the roof but there is only one table that isn't kid-size (you can have your bf in your room though). Overall, I found the high 9.0 not entirely justified.

The people working there are relatively friendly, the WiFi is good when the power is on and it is within walking distance of Thamel (however you have to walk about 400m down a boggy dirt path to get to the hotel if walking).

This is NOT worthy of its high rating. We stayed in the deluxe double/family room (I think they're actually the same room) for 3 nights. This is very run down, our toilet set was broken in multiple pieces, the power was constantly turning on and off which wakes you multiple times through the night, the room had hundreds of ants/bugs every night that we had to kill and the bathroom bin was not emptied despite the room being cleaned so we had to empty ourselves. On top of all of this, the floor was filthy, there was a bath-matt that was also filthy and looked as if it had never been washed. The toilet brush was disgusting and there was a missing window pane which meant the room was louder, warmer and had more bugs. You also cannot pay in card here which we were not told until it came to paying. The breakfast is very basic.

*Clean room and kind staff *Residential area. Local food around, local shops and if needed 2 "weste rn style" mini marts just near (5 min walk) * New bus stand at walkable distance (25 min). * Staff is not searching to sell other thing (treks, etc etc). If you ask they help but they don't propose anything before you ask. Not so often to mention it. *I would come back without any hesitation next time.

*On a rainy rainy day, road from Thamel is in very bad condition (the roads other sides are totaly ok. It's not guesthouse(s) fault of course and maybe it would be temporary.

Vishal is a very nice person. He called a taxi for us, lent us a hair dryer, and a delicious breakfast. He helped us a lot. We all like him.

It will take a long dirt road to go back to the accommodation from the urban area, of course, it can be solved by taking a taxi.

Price point was good. Staff was nice and accessible 24 hrs.

The almost-attached bathroom, especially the tub shower, was very dirty. The budget room I got was on the ground floor, right next to the reception.
