I don’t usually leave reviews, and I can be a little slack about doing them, but I had to write one for this place. I’ve travelled extensively around the world, and the staff here are second to none. The location is excellent, and the hotel is spotlessly clean. I can’t thank the staff enough for how well they look after guests and make you feel welcome. If you’re a light sleeper, there is a fair bit of noise from the street, but I think that’s common with hotels in this area. Aside from that, everything was absolutely ideal. Thanks again to everyone who works there.

Beautiful hotel and excellent location. Staff is super nice and the food is amazing. Hotel is right at the center of everything. Lots of good shopping at doorsteps. The only reason I didn’t give a five star is because the bathroom roof was dripping water when it rained and even though they offered to change my room the options didn’t work for me. I would have liked some kind of food coupons for the inconvenience which is typical in situations like this with other hotels I have visited before. Overall a beautiful property!

Wonderful stay. Wonderful hotel. I did have to climb a fair number of stairs to reach my room - as it was an eco friendly hotel. But it was a marvelous experience and the hotel staff went out of their way to help out

This hotel is a very charming, boutique hotel, very clean. Close to busy Thamel. if you want some quiet, 15-20 min. walkable to the garden of dreams, take a rickshaw to the Durbar, etc. Very convenient, lots of options to eat, the restaurant in this hotel is wonderful!

Excellent hotel in Thamel. (My only complaint was there is no elevator.) Great staff, and breakfast room service was fast and hot. Laundry service same day. Right next to a busy Thamel street but a quiet retreat from the chaos around. I would definitely stay here again. 😁👍

We stayed at this hotel in November 2025 - myself, my father, and my teenaged son. Our entire stay was fantastic - the staff were lovely, accommodating, and helpful. The rooms were spacious and very well appointed, with comfortable beds, large bathrooms with lovely showers, plenty of storage, and more than enough space. The courtyard was a must after a day of navigating the streets of Kathmandu - a really beautiful and peaceful space to unwind. The hotel decor was fantastic, with lots of local art all over. On the whole, I cannot say enough good things about this hotel - we loved it, and would absolutely stay here again if we return. We felt very well taken care of here. One caveat - there are no elevators, so if you have a room on a higher floor be prepared for a lot of stairs (at least it preps you for trekking!).

This is the perfect hotel for first time visitors to Kathmandu or anyone wanting to stay in Thamel. The city/neighborhood can feel very chaotic at times, and Dalai-La is such a wonderful escape. The courtyard is a perfect place to start the day with the hotel’s amazing breakfast options. The rooms are spacious with modern fixtures. We were given two large bottles of water in the room a day. The staff is simply wonderful! Binod specifically was very friendly and amazingly helpful. He gave us a number recommendations for things to do in and around Kathmandu as well as our next stay in Pokhara. He was also very helpful with the currency exchange. The location of the hotel is perfectly situated in Thamel to allow you to walk to numerous shops and restaurants. I would absolutely stay here again. My dad and I had a wonderful time!
