Delicious Breakfast Variety

The breakfast included at Samsara was absolutely fantastic! There was a wide selection of both hot and cold options, and I especially loved being able to order eggs cooked just the way I liked them. Each morning felt like a good start to my day, sharing conversations with fellow guests and enjoying the tasty food provided.

My room at Samsara was incredibly comfortable and kept tidy throughout my stay. I appreciated the attention to detail, as the room had good air conditioning, big windows that opened for fresh air, and modern amenities. It truly felt like a cozy retreat after a bustling day in Kathmandu.

Modern and Functional Bathrooms

The bathroom facilities were surprisingly good for a 2-star hotel. I had consistent hot water during my stay, which is a huge plus compared to many places in Kathmandu. The plumbing was modern and the showers were hot, allowing for a refreshing experience after long days of exploring.

Peaceful Garden Area

One of my favorite aspects of Samsara was the lovely garden area at the front. It was a perfect spot to unwind with a book or enjoy a beverage in the evenings. The peacefulness of the garden provided a nice escape from the busy streets of Thamel, allowing me to relax and recharge.

I had an excellent stay at this hotel, which is tucked away in a peaceful garden despite being just a stone's throw from the vibrant Thamel district. The staff were incredibly attentive and made me feel welcomed every morning. While the Wi-Fi could be a bit unreliable on the higher floors, the overall experience was delightful, with no power outages during my stay. However, there was some noise from maintenance, which was promptly addressed by the management.
