Top Thamel Hotel Reviews

Central Courtyard - Heritage Hötel & Artisan Café

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at the Central Courtyard! Great location with fantastic walkability to numerous Thamel sites and restaurants and the staff was excellent. We stayed in the Traditional loft (the one that is in all of the pictures with the desk and the long bench, I think room 107). The room was clean, spacious and air conditioned, and the king size bed was very very comfortable. As some reviewers have mentioned, there is definitely noise from the alley, but everything is quiet during sleeping hours from 10-7am, especially if you pull the curtains. As long as you're not the type of person that likes to sleep in, the noise is very manageable. The bathroom is very small, and we wished there was an extra shelf on the wall and some more hooks for toiletries. The floor also tends to become wet from the shower, although it dries quickly. The water was nice and hot with good water pressure. We loved the included morning breakfast, and they make a very good latte. The best thing about this hotel though is the staff--they were incredibly helpful and kind, helped with taxis and restaurant recommendations. Would definitely stay here again!"

Tibet Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I have been staying in KTM hotels & guest houses since 1991, so I have seen many. This is a newer hotel but as you can see from the photos, a LOT of care & TLC have gone into the design of this hotel. The TLC doesn't stop at the furnishings! The desk staff are always polite and cheerful but also VERY PROFESSIONAL, so perfect for business travelers who want to print a document at 3 am (~3pm in N America lol): just email the pdf to the front desk & they will do it! The kitchen & dining is also fabulous, and is the deal breaker for value, with typical pancakes & sausages & eggs cooked to order for normies, but also delicious vegetarian options, both eastern and south Asian offerings available on a daily basis, with a cappuccino latte also included if desired! A covered outdoor patio garden dining area is convenient for families and groups, while an inner coffee restaurant area with Tibetan turquoise laden table-tops can support laptops for comfortable working breakfasts of travelers needing to catch up with emails. Early risers can also enjoy self-made coffee from the room, and pilgrims can try to book a room that looks directly toward Swayambhu or Pashupatinath for rich support for one's morning meditations! Especially senior travelers (over 50 crowd) are recommended to go the extra mile and book the room with bathtub. You will thank yourself later! Housekeeping teams are also thorough and responsive to detailed instructions. Safe & iron complete the confidence!"

Hotel Jay Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean no issues if your concern is bug related or previous stays with stains, the bathroom works perfectly well providing hot water and appropriate water pressure. Staff was amazing helped me print a visa for my next destination and are willing to give out local tips and food recommendations. Easy for transfers to find from airport and about 30-40 minutes away given traffic."
