Hotel Moonlight

Kathmandu


The modern and professional Moonlight is a good midrange choice, with a calming interior garden courtyard, a lobby cafe and a spa, all punctuated with nice design touches. The 67 rooms vary in size; our favourites are the rooms with a balcony in the 'boutique' block. The rooftop bar should boast great views when finished.
