My stay at Hill Crown Retreat was quite the mixed bag. The location left much to be desired as it was challenging to navigate, especially if you're relying on Google maps. While I enjoyed some tasty food during my short visit, the room itself had significant issues that made my experience less than satisfactory.

My stay at Hill Crown Retreat was quite average overall. While the service from Abdul and Palzar was really good, the room quality and cleanliness left much to be desired. Though I enjoyed the variety of food options, the meals needed to be ordered well in advance, which was a bit inconvenient.

The location is convenient, right in the bustling main market. It’s just a short walk to several shops and eateries, though the steep walk back might not be suitable for everyone, especially the elderly.

The food was good, though I experienced limited options for breakfast due to pre-booking requirements. I particularly enjoyed the grilled fish, but I had to remember to place my order in advance.

Facilities

Facilities were lacking, particularly with unreliable power that only switched to generator service after 7:30 AM, which affected hot water availability. Wi-Fi was also spotty, even near the reception.
