My stay at Samsara was memorable, offering a calm retreat in the bustling Thamel area. The cleanliness and comfort of the rooms made my time there pleasant, and the restaurant served enjoyable meals, especially the breakfast buffet. However, I did encounter some flaws, such as inconsistent Wi-Fi and noisy surroundings at times. Overall, it's a solid choice, though there might be better options nearby.

My stay at Samsara Resort was truly memorable, thanks to the exceptional service and comfortable environment. The staff, particularly Mr. Purushottam, made us feel like family by going out of their way to assist with our plans in Nepal. While the breakfast was great, I did notice the lunch and dinner options could use more consistency. Overall, the peaceful garden area and spacious rooms were highlights, but I found the dining experience could be improved. It's definitely a good value for money for a boutique hotel.
