Lovely hotel in a great spot, perfect start and finish to the day on the roof top, with breaky in the morning and a cold beer at the end of the day, watching the sunset. Highly recommend.

Ok but I wouldn’t stay again

The room was a good size the bed were good. The bathroom was ok but it has two vents to the outside that let in all the polluted air in and you can’t close them. One of the vents connected to the room next door so you can hear everything. On that note the sound proofing in the room is none existent we were underneath the restaurant and it was like being in a building site. The doors and windows are paper thin so you don’t get any peace until 12-1am when the restaurant is packing up. The hotels in a good location right in the middle of the tourist district, having said that I wouldn’t stay here again. The curtains don’t block out any light and you have to keep them closed as everyone can see into your room from the hall way.

I am surprised that hotels.com said it's a 4 star hotel, I would say it a 1 star. Very very different then what you see in the pictures. Very dirty, there was a bug in my bed, tv and ac wasn't working properly. Even though my booking was all paid for in advance, they tried to charge me again. SIMPLE is AVOID this hotel if you can

You get what you paid for!

Hotel check in was at 11 am but room wasn’t made ready until 1.10 pm and had to wait in the lobby like other guests. Very old building. Description mentions about reno but feels like it is just new wall paper only. Room door was made of thin aluminum- pretty cheap and chairs in the room have black stains and dirt all over. Bathroom is mediocre and faucet tap wasn’t working. I decided to leave to another hotel within hours even though I had paid for the night. Hard to find location. I won’t stay here again.

Thank you Ramesh

The hotel is located in a frightfully congested area - if you don't drive there, it could be perfect. We met a manager in the restaurant - Ramesh - who was very helpful - he went out of his way to support on many aspects of our Nepal stay - thank you Ramesh for your kind and professional manner. The lobby service was rather poor. They could definitely replace the flask in the room with a kettle and two cups!!

I highly recommend to all visitors of Nepal with middle income Hotel Nepalaya because: 1. It is excellent hotel, very clean, with friendly personnel and good services 2. It is in the heart of Kathmandu (Tamel) very close from all kind of historical places 3. It is in the heart of Kathmandu (Tamel) very close from all kind of shops and good restaurants with middle prices and good quality of the food 4. It is good hotel management who can provide for you all kind of therapy - starting from Aroma and Yoga (they have connection with fantastic school of Yoga where you can get short course of lessons or get consultation etc) 5. It's will be good choice if you need booking car on bus in middle price 6. It is fantastic hotel, because you can get not only your free breakfast at the restaurant located on the 7 floor balcony (or lunch and dinner by very loo price and good quality) but fantastic impressions - watching nice details of town, sunrise and sunset Have nice trip to Nepal and Kathmandu it is reappy fantastic dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great hotel in Thamel, the rooms were as expected however it was the staff who really made this place great. Very welcoming from the second I walked in the door, always asking if I needed any help with anything and were helpful in providing directions and advice to find my way around Thamel. Looking forward to coming back here after some trekking to enjoy the rooftop restaurant
