Great location, beautiful area. Staff were fantastic. Only downsides I can really think of were not much actually parking for guests on site unless you pay for valet, and breakfast was a bit confusing. You either pay for continental (doesn't include hot foods) or for full.

Good stay
In particular the Nepalese head of the restaurant was delightful - she was so helpful. Our only thoughts were the corridors to the bedrooms seemed very dated not the usual standard for Novotel .
