Firstly, I need to say that we arrived with a VERY open mind about the stay in Kathmandu. However, what we did not expect given previous reviews from various websites, was an' apparent' loss of our booking details and the subsequent move to a very dingy, dusty room on the ground level of this hotel. Interestingly, this incident occurred during... more

very nice and clean hotel for anyone interested in the thamel area and the activities that go along with it. went to one of their restaurants for lunch once and was not impressed at all... not a problem, there is a good Italian place next door (ciaos?) and being next to thamel there were many great places to eat all... more

I stayed at the Malla for a month whilst I was working as a volunteer at a local school. When i first organised the trip I really wasn't bothered about where I stayed, but after a few days I was really glad I choose to stay in a reputable hotel. After a days teaching in hot, dusty, crowded classrooms it... more

We stayed here for only one day. The first thing that irritated me was a pile of towels on my room floor while I check in. It was a ready room! The room was clean, however the toilet was not properly sanitized. There was also dirt in the bathtub. Well, our TV was not functioning. The room service didnot pick... more

We were in Thamel to finalize the adoption of my daughter and chose this hotel by mistake as the name was similar to the one we were supposed to arrive at. When we arrived with my newly adopted daughter faces covered with red tint due to it being Holi Day, the front desk were not taken aback but treated us... more

The rooms are large and comfortable and the lobby is a nice place to sit for a drink or snack. The landscaped gardens are also lovely, with a huge pool if you fancy a swim. The only downside... more

I stayed at the Malla Hotel for 2 nights in June 2008 before moving to a Buddhist monastery in Kathmandu, where I volunteered for a month. To be honest, I usually stay at very high-level, excellent quality hotels and I really did not want to spend too much money in Kathmandu so I chose the Malla Hotel. Overall, the room... more

I stayed at the Malla Hotel at the beginning and end of an Everest region trek. The hotel was very nice and room was good. Bed mattress was very hard, but that was fine for me. The staff is especially good. At the end of the trip, the night before my flight home, I came down with salmonella ( probably... more

We stayed at the Malla 3 nights at the beginning of our holiday. The hotel was OK. The room was quite good and we were pleasantly surprised. However 2 things annoyed us. We had to buy water at the bar because bottled water is essential and they only gave us 2 bottles for the 3 days. The bar charged an... more
