"Beautiful proprty lovely stay! Good staff loved it best experience overall!"

"Long story short: Great stay, with great service at great prices! Thank you Suraj, Surya, and Shiva for arranging this wonderful experience. I was looking for a safari in Chitwan when I came across the website of this hotel. I found the contact information and texted the owner, Suraj, with my questions. Within a few minutes, I received a response, and we decided to stay at the hotel. The owner warmly welcomed us upon arrival and helped us choose the right safari. We chose the 3-day walking tour and, after asking about safety, the owner arranged for a guide with 37 years of jungle experience. Surya was a great guide, and together with our other guide, Shiva, they made our safari an unforgettable experience. As for the hotel itself, the rooms are spacious and quiet. It’s located just outside the city center, about a 10-minute walk away. There are plenty of seating areas both inside and outside. The beds are comfortable, with mosquito nets included, air conditioning is available if needed, and the breakfast options are excellent."

"For a start, my fantastic experience and high expectations with Hotel Aikawa began prior to my trip to Nepal. Milan, the reservations manager and a true legend, was so prompt, reassuring, detailed and friendly in his responses to all my questions before arriving in Chitwan that I knew that I would really enjoy my stay in Hotel Aikawa. I arrived by coach after a horrendously uncomfortable, and bumpy, journey from Kathmandu and was surprised to see Milan welcome me at the bus station. Not many managers would do that! On arrival at the hotel, Milan then surprised me by upgrading me to the best suite in the whole hotel and I was very touched by this gesture. The views of the extensive rice fields from my window were stunning. I immediately decided to extend my stay by one more day as I could not pass up this opportunity of luxury in this beautiful hotel, especially after chaotic and crowded Kathmandu! The huge gardens are absolutely exquisite, and designed in a Japanese style with wooden bridges over a pond with different varieties of fish, beautiful stonework and wicker furniture, outside bar and so many cool areas to chill. All the staff were so friendly and attentive including Bishwo, Rachana, Kausal, Kavita, etc and they could not do enough for me to make me feel special. The food at the hotel is high quality and the chefs kindly catered to my requests for extra chilli and sauce in my chilli chicken which I had on two occasions for dinner. The hotel is within walking distance of the main town but secluded away from the hustle and bustle of the centre. Milan, at the front desk, even organised the cancellation of one day at my hotel in Pokhara as I was staying an extra day in Hotel Aikawa, and also booked the bus to Pokhara for me with such ease and efficiency. I cannot thank Milan, and his excellent staff, enough for the most wonderful three nights in Chitwan and wholeheartedly endorse staying at this true gem of a hotel for a luxurious, scenic and relaxing stay!"
