My stay at Grand Norling Hotel's Resort was mixed. While the rooms were spacious and the staff was incredibly friendly, the overall state of the hotel felt a bit dated. Some aspects, like the dining experience and the location, left something to be desired. I appreciated the beautiful gardens and the outdoor pool, but the remoteness of the hotel made it challenging to access the main attractions of Kathmandu. 🌿

I had a rewarding stay at Grand Norling Hotel's Resort, enjoying the stunning gardens and calming atmosphere provided by the nearby Gokarna forest. The warmth of the staff was a highlight, although I noticed some areas in need of updating. The spacious rooms and complimentary breakfast exceeded my expectations, but the hotel's remote location may be a downside for some. Overall, I would rate my experience as solid. 🌳🌞

I recently enjoyed my stay at Grand Norling Hotel's Resort and it was a delightful escape from the bustling Kathmandu. The staff's dedication, especially from the manager Rishi, really made a difference in our experience. While the room I stayed in was charming with great amenities, I did wish for slightly better bed sheets. Overall, the combination of beautiful surroundings, friendly service, and exceptional dining made my visit memorable.
