    It was advertised as having meals available at lunch and supper time but only breakfast was available at the hotel. Although there was a take away remote option available. Only one towel was provided for 2 people.

    Breakfast was good. Overall it was good value for money.

    Our room was rather dark as on the side of the building that got no sun so chilly at times.

    Great location and the staff were always friendly and helpful. Good breakfast. Very good value for money

    Any comments we had were attended to straight away.

    A very easy location. Room was not large, but big enough for 2 people and luggage,vand quite comfortable. Appreciated the Filtered water available to fill up your bottles. There were a number of nice sitting areas including garden and balcony. Owners kindly looked after our bags while we went off trekking. Would recommend Fresco Retreat for sure.

    A refrigerator would be a nice touch. To me it is more important than TV. If not possible in every room, there may be a shared one in the common living area. Hot water was limited on cloudy days, which are most days during monsoon season, as apparently it comes from solar heater.

    The location is excellent; Jawalakhel seems one of the nicest neighborhoods in Lalitpur district, far from city noise yet within walking distance to many amenities (groceries, cafes, banks, pharmacies, and mall). Reasonable distance by taxi to the main Kathmandu university, Tribhuvan. The rooms are modest size, yet they share a spacious common seating area that significantly expands their utility. Room service was satisfactory most of the time, and if they forgot something, they were standing by to replenish it. Standard breakfast (sandwiches, eggs, fruit, and fresh juice) occasionally was enriched with local dishes such as paratha which was a nice touch.

    They only serve breakfast. They don't have lunch or dinner.

    24hrs security. Situated in a quiet area. Complementary breakfast. Attentive and friendly staff. Accessibility of transportation. Near to coffee shops, convenience store and restaurants.

    Sorry to mention it but the staffs aren’t as professional as they should be, especially the front (reception). Though it’s passable. I enjoyed my time.

    The place is quite and convenient to go around the cities.

    I recently stayed at Fresco Retreat a very charming bed and breakfast and found it to be a peaceful retreat. The rooms were cozy and spotless, creating a homely atmosphere that was complemented by a delicious breakfast spread each morning. The highlight was the serene garden, perfect for morning tea. Everything was impeccably organized, from check-in to local tips. This B&B offers a delightful blend of comfort, charm, and relaxation. Highly recommended for those seeking a tranquil getaway with a personal touch.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and always willing to assist. The adorable dog on-site added an extra touch of charm. Breakfast was excellent, offering a wide array of tasty options every morning. Highly recommend for a relaxing and rejuvenating experience!

    The breakfast is terrible. Coleslaw sandwiches one morning and then salad and biscuts the next? No one eats this for breakfast. We tried to order an omelet but it never came. Also hot water is not reliable.

    The rooms are quite nice and comfortable.
