I stayed in this hotel for two nights with two more friends, and it was great! Their location is just in the middle of the Tamel, the room was clean, the staff were friendly and helpful and they have a very nice restaurant with nice view of Kathmandu at the roof where they serve breakfast.

I recommend this hotel, after travelling quite a bit in Nepal I know the difference between good and bad. This place has good clean rooms, thick mattresses, a great restaurant and really helpful, happy staff. They helped with my treks and general advice. Walking distance to most of the sites in KTM too. Coming back here was a pleasure after... More

To begin with our booked and confirmed airport transfer did not turn up so we had to arrange our own taxi from the airport. When we got to the Hotel they did not have the family room that we had booked and paid for and they suggested we stay in a smaller room and put a mattress on the floor!... More

Hotel is ok but too expensive for what it is. Rooms were small and dark, sheets were stained, staff not particularly nice and they charged for the "free" airport pickup. On the plus there was a small tv, hot water worked well, roof top was reasonably nice and hotel is well located. I would have been happier with it had... More

We stayed at Hotel Nepalaya for 3 nights. It was very nice they picked us up from the airport. Having breakfast on the rooftop is a nice experience. The staff was very helpful and friendly. They arranged the Tamang Heritage Trekking for us. We had a great time with Gopinath Nepal, our trekkingguide for 10 days. Gopi have much experience,... More

Finally, the stuff in the hotel helped me to walk around. He recommended me souvenirs for my friends in Japan. He... More

The Hotel Nepalaya is a fairly basic hotel. If you are looking for a central location to shop and visit restaurants and are not too fussy about your hotel this would be a good choice. It is located just back from one of the busy shopping streets in Thamel and within easy walking of lots of restaurants. I found the... More

I travelled to Nepal last November with a group of 25 on a group teaching exercise. We received amazing service from the brothers managing the Nepalaya. We were picked up at the airport and all our luggage was collected by their staff, They then arranged a full meal for 25 people at extremely short notice. Milan also arranged a group... More

I've been her several times. I feel her at home. Excellent location in the heart of Thamel. Hotel has a little strange architecture - most windows face internal yard. That's why You do not hear any noise from the street. Thy narrow side street to Thamel has small, simple, cheap - but excellent restaurants. Staff is extremely helpful, competent ,... More

A sincerely warm welcome from Hotel Nepalaya…where hospitality comes from the heart…It’s a special Peace down here & your Environment Friendly Stay will be just like it is at home…We are known to be the best rated hotel in Kathmandu…& you’ve got to live here to know it…Hotel Nepalaya is known for its warm hospitality, & we are right in the heart of the Thamel city. The hotel offers fantastic valley views from its ‘temple of heaven’ rooftop restaurant. The Langtang, Ganesh Himal and Dorjelakpa mountain views from our rooftop is just amazing. You will find Rickshaws and taxi stands just a stone’s throw from our hotel, which is a 4 min walking distance to the major shopping areas, restaurants & bars of sizzling Thamel, & hardly 7 kilometers to get to get to the airports and only 3 kilometers to the bus stands. You will enjoy a wonderful peace of mind once you get in into the hotel as thamel is always a crowded, noisy and hustling place for tourists.Kathmandu is the capital city of Nepal, a tiny Himalayan landlocked Country in Asia which offers possibilities of vibrant cultures and its smiling people. Kathmandu is the only city connected by air to the major international towns scattered all over Nepal. Whether you are looking for rich culture and people, history, a Himalayan adventure getaway for walking, trekking, climbing, white water rafting, elephant safari to the One Horn Rhino & Bengal Tiger in natural parks and outdoor holidays in the broadest sense of the word... Nepal has it all! You don’t need to go anywhere else.The Hotel Nepalaya on the other hand is a hotel of Nepal’s cultural landscapes. Here you will find smiling welcoming staff that enjoys their work & a sunny garden for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, 24 hour power backup, FREE WIFI and computers, 24 hours security, & rooms well furnished with modern amenities, and our staff is happy to provide you with all the information you need to enjoy your stay in Kathmandu! ... more   less
