Nice but noisy

Beautiful place and in top condition. There seems to always be some noisy conference or party happening at the hotel, so if a quiet stay is preferred suggest looking somewhere else.

Lovely hotel and great service. Needs a better bar

Lovely hotel. Service was great in particular Bibek, our floor butler and Chandra the pool manager. Food is amazing but the only thing lacking is having a bar that isn’t ridiculously starchy or expensive. We decided to wander our round the corner and had a great evening at about 5th of the price
