Oasis Kathmandu Hotel

Oasis Kathmandu Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Clean and quiet. Very friendly and helpful staff, especially the manager himself. He would greet every guest upon arrival and during the stay. He would go from table to table in the dining room to ask every guest how they were doing, did they have a good night sleep etc. Excellent breakfast and excellent service. The hotel within walking distance to the vibrant street markets near Durbar Square."
