When
we
were
picked
up
from
the
airport
by
one
of
Royal
Singi
Hotel’s
drivers,
we
knew
we
had
made
the
right
decision
for
our
1-week
stay
in
Kathmandu.
He
navigated
us
through
the
hordes
of
taxi
drivers
fighting
for
passengers
and
managed
to
fit
all
of
our
luggage
in
the
back
of
the
van.
He
drove
as
smoothly
as
he
could
–
the
unruly
roads
in
the
city
have
plenty
of
potholes,
but
he
managed
to
avoid
them
and
the
traffic
easily.
Without
much
traffic
in
the
evening,
the
drive
to
Royal
Singi
Hotel
from
the
airport
was
only
about
15
minutes.
It’s
really
the
service
at
Royal
Singi
Hotel
that
sets
it
apart
from
many
hotels
in
Kathmandu.
The
team
went
out
of
their
way
to
make
our
stay
special.
For
example:
1)
By
the
third
day,
the
wait
staff
at
BLVD
had
memorised
our
breakfast
coffee
orders
2)
One
of
their
reception
team
stood
in
for
a
no-show
tour
guide
to
Pashupati
Temple
and
explained
the
evening
fire
ceremony
to
us
(which
lasted
about
an
hour)
3)
Even
the
chef
at
the
egg
station
during
breakfast
had
prepped
spinach
from
scratch
when
they
had
run
out
for
a
made-to-order
masala
omelette
when
one
of
our
party
couldn’t
eat
anything
else.
Another
perk
to
staying
at
Royal
Singi
Hotel
is
its
prime
location
in
the
city.
Being
only
a
few
blocks
away
from
the
Durbar
Marg
and
Thamel,
we
were
just
a
quick
walk
to
some
of
Kathmandu’s
must-see
sights
and
party
scene.
And
a
little
further
away
we
easily
reached
Asan,
Indra
Chowk
and
Durbar
Square.
The
décor
in
the
lobby
is
grand
with
dark
wood
accents,
marble
floors
and
chandeliers.
Meanwhile,
the
rooms
share
the
same
dark
wood
accents
as
the
lobby
and
are
equipped
with
the
essentials.
There
were
a
few
welcome
surprises
like
the
walk-in
rain
shower
and
bidet,
which
are
much
needed
after
spending
your
day
exploring
the
city.
Must-haves
at
the
breakfast
buffet
are
the
masala
chai
and
the
other
local
dishes
that
rotate
in
their
selection.
They’re
flavourful
and
really
woke
our
senses
up
even
if
we
hadn’t
had
a
lot
of
sleep
the
night
before.
The
assortment
also
includes
western
mainstays
like
bacon,
sausage
and
grilled
tomatoes
if
you’re
looking
for
something
more
familiar.
All
in
all,
we’d
recommend
anyone
to
stay
at
Royal
Singi
Hotel,
and
we’ll
definitely
go
there
again
on
our
next
trip
to
Kathmandu.
