Positive: My stay at the Sparkling Turtle was wonderful. The staff were kind and hospitable even going out of their way for me to make sure I found the correct location. I had a double room with an ensuite and balcony for a very good price. The location is in a quiet part of Kathmandu and the accommodation is very clean, well maintained, and safe behind a locked gate and locks on the room doors. I felt very safe staying here. I highly recommend staying here.
Summary: Incredible stay at the sparkling turtle
