Staying at Hotel Red Planet was a delightful experience. Being a family-run place in the bustling Thamel area, I felt right at home with the warm service. The location is superb with many activities and dining options nearby, although the noise and crowd can be overwhelming at times. The rooms are comfortable, but I did notice some issues with electricity and power cuts during my stay. Overall, this hotel offers excellent value for money, especially for those looking for personalized service and great local tips.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, I really appreciated the affordable price and the fact that the rooms were clean. However, I was overwhelmed by mosquitoes and had a restless night because of it. Also, there was a cockroach in the bathroom, which was unsettling. All in all, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're really trying to save money.

My stay at this family-run hotel was nothing short of wonderful, thanks to the incredibly sweet and helpful owners. They made us feel welcomed and provided essential services like laundry and meals without extra charges.
