Budget hotel on the edge of Thamel--just a few minutes walk to the center of Thamel. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. I only stayed here a couple days before my Annapurna Trek. It's a budget hotel--basic accommodations on the cheap. The city is a bit of a mess when it comes to electricity but you can't fault the hotel... More

This hotel has very friendly and helpful staff, they organized a cheap pickup from the airport and the location is very good, in the middle of the little busy area of Thamel and within walking distance of good cafes, restaurants and shops. The rooms however are extremely basic, kind of old and not too clean looking. Electricity pops off at... More

Our hotel room had broken toilet leaver which was fixed twice and only worked partially. În the dining area, the kitchen door was constantly slamming... More

Hotel Thamel is placed in a quite street directly in the center of Thamel. The staff is really very friendly, helpful and never gives you the feeling, that they are only interested in your money. The rooms are big enough, cleaned every day and have a nice balcony. There are several nice terraces. I would recommend the one on the... More

Reasonable hotel. The rooms are very different in terms of quality. The first night I had a room on the roof. You could come here just outside via the roofterrace. Very dark room at the back with a depressing view. It was during the night so cold that I slept in bed with my clothes on. The other room I... More

The Thamel district of Kathmandu is a magical place and the Thamel hotel is right in the heart of it. If you are a westerner expecting all the comforts of home this might not be the place for you. But if you are on adventure then this place steeps you in the flavor of the area. The staff is professional... More
