We enjoyed our stay at this lovely establishment. The staff was very attentive and kind. The restaurant was very good and we appreciate the fact that they source organically and locally. The premises and accommodations themselves were what attracted us in the first place, as you feel you are in a different era, being constructed in a beautiful historical style. Very special vibe! We highly recommend the Kantipur Temple House as a rarity amidst all the hotels in the Thamel area.

Amazing Building, Fantastic Staff

I had a really great stay here. First, the building is amazing. Staying in a beautiful setting like this really added to my experience in Kathmandu. Second, the staff is great. From thoroughly cleaning my room each day (more than is typical at a hotel) to making sure my bed was heated at night, they were attentive to all my needs. Third, the breakfast buffet was great. They also augmented it with some Nepali cuisine cooked to order. The only negative is that I seemed to have an allergic reaction to something in the room that caused me to sneeze quite a bit.

Kantipur Temple House is a hidden gem in the Thames district of Kathmandu. Painstakingly reproduced Nepalese architecture from a bygone era. Hugely spacious and comfortable rooms. Many small alcoves to enjoy delicious Chai Masala. The food is organic and exquisite. Yoga on the rooftop. The staff goes above and beyond every expectation that I had. Unexpectedly, I met the owner one day at the front door - and we shared stories for nearly an hour. Forget the higher priced places. Kantipur Temple House is far better at half the price. When I return to Kathmandu, the only place I will consider staying is Kantipur Temple House. A big thank you from me to everyone at Kantiour the made my stay so enjoyable

Kantipur Temple House is a great place to base yourselves when exploring Kathmandu. The staff are very accommodating and the rooms are spacious. The city is dusty and noisy but only a little of both finds it’s way into the rooms. Good breakfast and we would commend this hotel for all that they are doing to minimise plastics etc. Hot water bottles in your beds in the evening is a very welcoming start to a good nights sleep.

Beautiful but lacking

This hotel is really beautiful. If you’re looking for that perfect Instagram pic you’ll definitely get it here. Great location, helpful staff. However, a few things you need to know. It’s an “eco” hotel- there’s no AC or heat. No TV. And it’s dark. Like, you can’t get ready or see in your room at night. The bulbs in the room were 5 watts- we literally almost went out and bought new light bulbs when we stayed here. It’s just... odd. The bathrooms are also pretty spartan but whatever- you’re in Nepal. Overall a beautiful property but a few small tweaks would really push it over the top and make it fabulous instead of just okay.

Kindness and comfort at Kantipur Temple Hotel

If you are looking for a unique small hotel with a lot of charm, and can live with no pool or cable tv, then Kantipur Temple is well worth a try. I can honestly say that it is one of my favorite boutique hotels anywhere. The architecture is dedicated to preserving the 16th century brick and ornate wood traditional style and the owner/ staff are committed to being organic and green. The garden is lovely and the restaurant is very nice. The location is fabulous because it is just 2 little black class from a main Thamel street but it offers a peaceful setting hidden from the madness:) The WiFi is basically good, the rooms tend to be dark, but that saves electricity. I was a little sick and they had an electric blanket ready for me. Nights can be very cold!! This seems to be a favorite spot for hundreds of European trekkers. Friendly, warm and helpful staff. I was very happy there.huge luxury hotels could learn a lot from Kantipur Temple house.
