Hotel Lily felt like a home away from home during my stay in Kathmandu. The warm and cozy atmosphere, along with the delicious Nepalese food, made for a delightful experience. While the location is a bit further from some central attractions, the staff's hospitality truly stood out. However, I did notice some areas that could be improved, particularly with noise management from other guests and room cleanliness during peak times.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. While the staff was welcoming and genuinely friendly, the room I received had several issues that made it less than ideal. I appreciated the value for money, but the cleanliness and maintenance left a lot to be desired, especially in the bathroom. The location is quite prime, close to shops, making it convenient for exploring the area.

My stay at Hotel Lily was really enjoyable! The staff were incredibly helpful and always ready to assist with laundry, food, shopping, and even tours. The rooms were nice and had good hot water and Wi-Fi, making it a great value for the price. The one downside was that the rooms were average, but overall, I had a positive experience and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
