Nirvana Garden Hotel

Kathmandu


The relaxing garden here isn’t quite nirvana but it is a real oasis, making this hotel a decent choice close to the centre. The deluxe rooms with sunny balcony and garden view are the ones to opt for, though these don't have air-con and all rooms are getting a bit tired and overpriced these days. Aim for a 20% discount.
