This place is in a perfect location for a short walk to the main street street where all the bars, restaraunts and shops are, as well as right by the river which makes for lovely scenery when in the onsite restaraunt and if you just want to stroll down and enjoy some peace and beauty! The room was clean and had everything you may need, it also wasn’t too small which was great as it meant we had some space. There was working AC that also operated as a heater. The lady on reception was so friendly and helpful, and the restaraunt manager Sitaram was definitely worth staying at this hotel for alone, he is so lovely and great to talk with. Each morning he would look out for rhinos crossing the river and be sure to tell us so we could go and look, he helped spot a crocodile too when we first arrived and just always set out to make our time as comfortable as possible! The hotel buffet breakfast run by Sitaram is brilliant and great value for money, there’s loads of choices and Sitaram and his team will make hot drinks fresh for you! Lastly, what is amazing is they provide free transport between the hotel and tourist bus stop! This is great as means you don’t have to worry about bargaining for a tuk tuk and can get in a comfy van and be there right away! Definitely recommend this hotel for a serene and easy going time in Chitwan!

The only issue we encountered was that the hot water was often hit and miss, which was difficult after a long day in the national park we really wanted a nice hot shower.

The best part of this hotel was the amazing conversations with Sitaram, the waiter at the restaurant and a great friend who will always hold a place in our hearts. He was so attentive and we learned so much from him about the area and his expert topics: birds and football! An amazing person, thank you for everything. We also have to highlight the breakfast here was incredible, especially with the views of the Rapti River! The best breakfast we had in Nepal and so filling as well. But not just breakfast, we had dinner at the restaurant which once again was amazing, definitely recommend the chicken fried rice :) Overall the staff and one of the owners are all amazing and the free pick up and drop off from the bus station in a tuc tuc made it even more special. They even welcomed us with a cold lemonade! Check our YouTube video about this hotel and don't forget to follow/ subscribe to @carmaadventures on YouTube and Instagram.

There was a big gap under the front door which meant we had some unwanted visitors in our room, we spent a while trying to get a lizard outside. There was also a big wasp nest at the back of the stairs on our floor so we could hear the massive wasps flying outside of our room and one of them came inside, but Sitaram helped us!

Primo Location: Best place to be for sunrise and sunset this hotel/restaurant is in the prime position just before the bend in river for extra river viewpoints and Marshy area, dry area where animals like to come out to drink or bath. Rhinos frequent the area and if you stay here. Locals bring their elephants down to drink every evening. As you can no longer stay in the national park the hotels along the river are the closest you can get with the park just on the other side. 5-10 min walk to the town for nice rooftop bars and tourist shops and only a 5 minute walk to the boat launch. Stay here and you can listen to nature sounds in the night and wake up close to nature…It sounds like this place books out in the busy season so even if you can’t get a room, it’s worth coming for a meal or sunset/rise beer: Restaurant: breakfast included and is very generous. In the offseason they deliver a plate to you (see picture) but in busy season there is a buffet. Rootop option too! Best chilli momos I have had in Nepal. There are western options too and the staff will help to point out every bird or wild animal you see. They packed us - delicious lunch for our full day tour: Service: Enjoyable, friendly, and helpful. Free pickup and drop off from the bus station. Free breakfast. We made our own way by bus to the accom then Ended up booking everything through them, including the bus back - which was 10x more enjoyable as they helped us pick a good one where the bus actually had shocks!We didn’t love the package tourist options selling out of Kathmandu and messaged the hotel to get prices. They created our customized itinerary- allowing us to skip the elephant breeding center, have lunch in the National park after our walking tour - and it ended up only costing us around $30USD more than the crowded all-inclusive tours and we a private on-suite and a full day private safari, free breakfast, and option to eat dinner wherever we wanted in town.

The interior bedrooms are too basic to be considered 5 star but you get what you pay for. I also wished the menu had more local/nepal food to try but the Nepalese food they had was good!

Pros: 1. The staff was amazing. They guided us about traveling, booked our bus tickets and safari, and even picked and dropped us off at the bus station. They were always smiling and helpful. 2. The room was spacious and clean. All toiletries were provided. 3. Breakfast was tasty with different options on different days. 4. The Hotel is just beside the Rapti ever. The view was amazing. There was a sitting area of this hotel where we sat in the evening. 5. I paid everything by card. It saved my cash.

Cons: 1. It took almost 5 to 10 minutes to get hot water at water taps. This problem is everywhere in Nepal Since they use solar for hitting water. But this is very irritating because it is not practical for anyone to turn on a faucet and wait for 10 minutes before washing his face. 2. Since the room's floor also gets cold, they were supposed to provide disposable slippers. It was missing .

The location is perfect, right on the riverbank with amazing views of the reserve. Rooms have a balcony where you can sit and just gaze over the landscape. All staff are very friendly and helpful, especially the dining restaurant assistant. Amazing value for money

I'm nit picking here but the toilet wasn't a very good flush, the TV wasn't working very well, these are just small niggles really. I was disappointed with the buffet breakfast, it needs more choice, and I get the feeling fried food is cooked in old oil. However, the overall experience and location of the resort is great.

I stayed in a tent. The view down to the river was fabulous, v peaceful and quiet and just what I needed after 2 weeks volunteering. The waiter in the restaurant was fantastic. Courteous, helpful and very knowledgeable about the birds I was seeing. A pleasure to chat to, and I wish him well. Food was good, and the kitchen staff were very happy to tailor food to your requirements. (Hotter, less hot etc). Good location on the edge of town but an easy walk to the shops. Possibility of seeing animals come down to the river to drink, and lots of birds to watch. A comfortable place to be a solo traveller.

The canvas of the tent had seen better days and was very dirty but it was still a fun place to stay and I would recommend it.

The view and the tent experience were great, but the man in the restaurant made our stay amazing with his friendliness and his knowledge about all the birds. We also booked the jeep- and walking/canoe safaris at the hotel. We would highly recommend Nishal as a guide, since he did everything to give us the best experience! He has a lot of knowledge about the park and wild life. All in all, we would definitely recommend staying here!

Shower wasn’t always warm

The staff were amazing. They were so friendly, kind and attentive. They made everything so easy such as booking safaris, buses to next destinations. My friend had also accidentally booked the dates for the month after and they happily accommodated her with no issues. The food is lovely. Breakfast offers a selection of different things. I would maybe like to see more fruit offered for breakfast but that is the only suggestion. We loved our stay and would definitely stay here again and recommend to others. Thank you!

Nothing

Location is right on river bank. On a good day travellers can see wild animals drinking water. Rooms were good. Breakfast was sumptuous (toast, omlet, sausage, pancake etc) Staff are helpful and they organize jungle safari

Whatever I am going to write is not really a con for this property, however travellers need to know for properly enjoying their time in Chitwan. In winter season the whole area is covered with dense fog which gets clear only around 10-11 am. So people planning for morning safari will not enjoy mostly however Evening safari specially on elephant ride should provide better animal viewing opportunity.

Location was amazing. The welcome sign and transport to hotel was a beautiful surprise. Guide organised by hotel was fantastic. Room was nice and clean

It was more expensive than other options, and I'm not sure it was worth the price. It was a great place, but had kind of strange 'resort' vibes and I felt like a naughty school kid sneaking out to eat lunch or dinner elsewhere. We did a few guided things organised by the accom, and our guide was great, but underquoted us, so we ended up paying more than we were expecting at checkout.
