During my stay at Grand Norling Hotel's Resort, I found it to be a lovely oasis away from the chaotic atmosphere of Kathmandu. The peaceful surroundings, especially near Gokarna Forest, provided a nice retreat. The food, particularly the Nepali Thali, was really good, and I couldn't help but appreciate the friendly staff who went above and beyond to make my visit enjoyable. However, I wish the check-in process could be a bit quicker.

I had a mixed experience at Grand Norling Hotel's Resort. The food was delicious, and the staff provided fantastic service, especially Ichchha Thapa, who went above and beyond. However, the rooms could use some improvements, like better lighting and updated amenities. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but it felt like the hotel needs a refresh.

The rooms were enormous and beautiful, but I wish the bathrooms had better lighting, as it felt quite dark with just a 25-watt bulb. Additionally, the TV was hard to see from the bed due to its placement.
