Detailed Reviews
I had stayed here couple of times when i am in Kathmandu. The place is located near ring road chappal karghana bus stop. You will get taxi 24hrs. All main attractions are very near. The city centre is just 10-15 mins drive. They have various types of rooms. The view from terrace is very nice. If the weather is clear, you can see the himalaya from terrace. Laundry and restaurant service is available. Food will be like home made food and will be made according to your choice. Each floor is covered in wifi. Even garden have wifi connectivity. You can relax and work peacefully here. The owner is very helpful and extremely friendly. The rooms are spacious and clean. Hot and cold water is available 24 hrs. Beds and linen used to be clean and comfortable. If you need a serviced apartment kind of setup, that also is available, with kitchen and utensils. Altogether excellent place to stay.

The hospitality was exceptional. The beautiful family provided us with all the help we needed to make our trip so easy.
They let us leave our bike boxes there while we travelled in Nepal and everything was so safe and secure.
The rooms were big and apartment was really good for friends to share. It had a big, well equipped kitchen if you wanted to cook on your own.
The location is quiet and good location to get into town and to the airport.
Definitely recommend staying here for short and long term.

The apartment impresses with its spaciousness and cleanliness. The host's warmth and friendliness enhance the experience. The garden is truly amazing, adding a delightful touch to the overall stay. Highly recommended for a comfortable and enjoyable retreat.

The apartment was clean, however there was no toilet paper nor soap. The host is very nice and helpful. It’s a bit far from the city so you need to get taxis everywhere. However for a place in Kathmandu, it’s highly recommended.

I had to stay at this hotel as my company booked it for me. I was very much disappointed with the service and the facility in this hotel. The room does not have basic facility. There is no power back up during load-shedding and they do not have working table. The towels and linen are very old not clean. They provide same type of breakfast everyday. The only one good thing was about the location. It was in quiet location and I had a good sleep. I will never book this hotel again.

I was fortunate to choose Hotel Melungste for my stay. It's in a generally quiet area of Kathmandu. The Wi-fi and hot water are great and the electricity is well managed - some lights remain on despite the general power outages in Ktm. The staff is friendly and efficient and the food is good.

We were travelling in Nepal for two weeks with our three kids aged 10, 8 and 4. The five of us were often required to book two rooms so an adult slept in each room and the kids swapped around their preferred sleeping arrangements. The adults had travelled before, but for the kids the trip to Nepal was the first big overseas adventure.
Mr Giri was very welcoming and extremely helpful the whole time we were there (3 nights). We had a suite of two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and living/dining room. The décor is basic international small-hotel, so no surprises there. The load shedding is part of life but each room has a solar powered light, so we didn’t need to use our torches at any time.
Mr Giri met us at the airport which was excellent because Kathmandu gave us all a major dose of culture shock. Without any bearings at all, it could easily have been overwhelming. The Hotel Melungtse is an oasis from the chaos of Kathmandu. Its location is well off the beaten track; to the north of KM in the embassy area, but there are relatively easy transport options to the city and tourist sites from here. However at about 400NP a pop each way ($5), the taxi costs added up. We took a local micro-bus a couple of times, which was an excellent travel experience in itself: 20 (good natured) people in a 12-seater bus, with dudes hanging off the sides too; stopping every 5 minutes, but eventually getting where we needed to be (well, near enough…), all for about 50c each.
There is a nearby (walking distance) western-style supermarket which is a boon to a travelling family. Mr Giri can change USD and AUD for rupees and gives a fair rate, so this is a very convenient option.
As we were there for a few nights, we were provided with 20L of bottled water with a dispenser as part of the room-rate. This was excellent as we all drank lots of water and used it for brushing teeth and coffee/tea too. I can’t stress how important it is to avoid the tap water in Kathmandu. Even the locals filter it and boil it before using it at all for anything; they all drink bottled water too as far as I can tell. I understand the urban drinking water is getting worse not better as Nepal industrialises. Mr Giri has room-service food (great option with sick kids, but a bit pricey), and also does laundry (which was expensive, but a good service).
Mr Giri arranged private cars for us too; to Thamel for dinner one evening, and also for the longer haul to Chitwan as we departed. The price was fair and represented excellent value as he knows the drivers who are very good blokes. Next time I would ensure I specifically asked for an AC van for the Chitwan route as the default option is no AC in Nepal (all the dust must wreck the filters). Not anyones fault: just me not being aware of the issue.
Hotel Melungtse would be a top pick for a travelling family or anyone with business in the northern part of KM, in the embassy district. For a short stay or if you are travelling alone or only with a partner, you’d probably be better off closer to Thamel to avoid the transport issue and to be closer to the noisy action.

My stay at this hotel was wonderful. The rooms are spacious and clean, the compound has a great garden with an outdoor setup to relax or eat. It is quiet and on the outskirts of the busy kathmandu city centre. It is only 4km from my favorite place in Kathmandu, Boudhanath.
Mr Giri the owner and the stuff at Hotel Melungtse offer fantastic service, A wonderful place to stay in Kathmandu.

Altough it's not a luxury hotel, the basic comfort is assured. Mr. Kumar, the owner, is very friendly and able to organise every tour you could ask for. The staff is friendly and the food very good. A good choice!
