A great stay in the heart of Kathmandu! The hotel is simple but has everything you need—hot and cold running water, air conditioning, and a nice breakfast with aromatic coffee on the rooftop terrace. The central location is perfect for exploring the city, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. Highly recommend!
There is no air conditioning in the room. In summer, there is an electric fan, and in winter, there is a small sun. You can imagine it. It is not suitable to go there at any time. I almost caught a cold when I took a shower in the room. People with weak health and children are not recommended to live here.
The hotel is new and clean with excellent service, and has walkable distance to Thamel. There is security officer in hotel entrance which made me feel safe, and also a chinese restaurant with good quality of food. All of the staff can speak very well Chinese and English so communication is not a problem in the hotel. The most attractive point of the hotel is the owner 小明 who is also a travel company owner. He helped me arranged airport transport, two-day Pokhara trip as well as one-day sunrise and city-sightseeing trip which were all very well organised with reasonable price. He speaks fluent Mandarin and I communicated with him via wechat for all the arrangements (just email the hotel to ask for his wechat). I can truly feel that the owner and all staff made best effort to make every visitor to feel warm and welcoming like a home. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Kathmandu.
The location is perfect , room service can remain open until a little bit more late rather than 9pm , after that time is not possible to get food around the hotel .
The staff are very gentle and servicial , the place it’s very nice and cozy
Pros
Great location for exploring Themal and provided you are not too high up, you shouldn't hear any road noise as it's set back. I was on the 4th floor and could hear the incessant beeping motorbikes but had moved from the first floor where i heard none (but was directly above the kitchen so could hear banging and chairs scraping from around 6am). 2nd floor is probably a good choice
Staff were all excellent
Room cleaned daily with 2 large bottles of water provided each day
Breakfast was ok - decent variety of fruit, local and western with custom eggs. Coffee was instant though.
Air con has heat facility
No deposit required on check-in
Toiletries provided
Cons
Some noise depending on your room location - dont stay in 107 or room directly above the kitchen/restaurant
No safe for passport, cash etc in room
Breakfast area isn't particularly clean i.e. dirty table cloths/mats
Poor standard of fixtures/fittings e.g. gaps in windows and doors, curtains dont quite close right, dirty shower curtain, the rooms have seen better days but for the price its still good value.
No coffee or milk in room (or 3-in one)
No phone charging point near the bed
Bathroom mat was old and dirty, no floor towel
Tips: take extra passport photo if you intend to get a sim card at the airport, unlimited data one with nepal telecom cost me $10 - signal was mostly ok.
Get your currency before you arrive or take enough to convert there, the atm machines are expensive
Taxi from airport to Themal should be around 350 rupees working on 50 rupees per km plys 30 rupees start charge.
You will be hounded relentlessly by people from the second you leave the plane for tour services etc. It may seem impolite but dont make eye contact, say no thank you and keep walking, otherwise you will spend your entire trip speaking to them.
Right now its cold at night, pack accordingly.
Be prepared to pay for everything, every temple, every place of historical interest - foreigners are charged around 1000-2000 rupees each time. E.g. all the Durbar squares, main stupas and temples.
Don't assume that because Nepal is a developing country it is cheap. It isn't. In fact i found it comparable to some developed countries and not cheaper than say Thailand. A meal would cost me around 1000 rupees. In a smaller more local place you may pay 500.
Don't take your new trainers, it's a very dirty, dusty city but exactly what you would expect if you've ever seen it on TV - it's all part of the experience.
For exploring all of the main parts of Kathmandu, id say 5 days is a good amount of time. I recommend the everest helicopter tour but on that note i will say that tours are very expensive here, more expensive than even Hong Kong, Thailand, etc!! I ended up walking to the main temples, Chandragiri, Bakhtapur for the more local experience.
I recently stayed at Hotel Anuttara in Nepal and had a great experience. The staff was friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay. My room was clean and well-equipped, providing all the essentials for a comfortable visit. The hotel’s restaurant offered a diverse menu with tasty local dishes. Its convenient location made it easy to access shopping and dining options nearby. Although not a retreat, the lively atmosphere added to the experience, making it ideal for travelers wanting to immerse themselves in the local culture. I highly recommend Hotel Anuttara for anyone visiting the area!
Located on the top of a mountain, 1.5 hours' drive from Kathmandu, the hotel has a beautiful and quiet environment, good service, games and sports, sauna and spa, morning yoga, and hiking. The natural scenery is beautiful and unique. However, the mountain road leading to the hotel is in poor condition, and traffic jams occur from time to time. I heard that a new road is being built. If the road is repaired, it is estimated that the drive from Kathmandu will be one hour.
The room is large and clean, the bathroom is large, and the facilities are new and newly renovated.
The hotel is on a busy commercial street, but the room is quiet.
When we returned to the hotel from the Monkey Temple, the front desk guy patiently told the taxi the hotel location and driving route, and waited for us at the intersection.
The boss helped us to determine the fare for the two attractions with the taxi driver, and personally drove us to the airport at 5:30 in the morning, and provided take-out breakfast.
The restaurant on the first floor provides Chinese food. The dishes taste very good. The boss cooks personally, and the waitress has a good attitude.

逆逆仁I had a good experience coming to this hotel this time. The location is very close to the pagoda, and the hot water supply for bathing is very good. There is no problem of waiting for a long time for hot water or the hot water is not hot. The price is not very expensive either. If you stay in Pagoda, this is a good choice, but I am not very satisfied with the breakfast. The tomato juice tastes like boiled water. I don’t know if it’s because I eat too much science and technology and it doesn’t suit my taste, but overall I The evaluation of this hotel is quite high. After all, there are really not many places in Nepal where you can find a perfect seat, good price, not expensive and with hot water
GGuest UserWe knew the service would be good as soon as we booked, and within hours we received a welcome email, listing the ways we could contact them if we needed to.
On the pick up at the airport, they were speedy and efficient and the taxi ride only took us 20 minutes with traffic.
As we walked through the door we were blown away by the interior decoration, only then to find that hotel had been a former palace!
Historic artifacts and pictures were strewn through the hallways and the outside only matched the royal feel with perfection.
We stayed in the royal suite, with a big bed and balcony. The staff were great, the breakfast was standard for off peak times and although the location isn't in the depth of Thamel, the area most will go out for eating and drinking, it was within 30 minutes drive of most landmarks and as it was the ambassedy/ office worker area, there was a nice vibe.
There were some things that can't be controlled. The hotel did a good job of providing heat as the weather in February is still chilly.
The pollution was real. Especially as you walk nearer the streets, something to think about if you are sensitive to this. Apart from that, It was all really wonderful. Niraj Yadav the receptionist and the team, we thank you dearly.
LLita DitaI had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and provided everything I needed for a relaxing visit. The staff was friendly and always willing to help, making me feel welcome from the moment I arrived. For the price, the quality of service and amenities exceeded my expectations. The location was also convenient, making it easy to explore the area. Overall, this hotel offers great value for money, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and affordable stay.
AAnonymous UserThe location is perfect, right at the heart of the city. The view is great, too.
The staff are amazing: Bibek informed me about everything I asked, from means of transport to some specialties. I didn't have a kettle in the room, and he got me one.
The breakfast was nice, although served only starting from 11 am (which is a bit late to my taste).
The biggest issue is hot water that is warm, but i guess that's the case pretty much everywhere in Nepal. There's an AC, a bar of soap, a toothpaste and a toothbrush, a towel, two chairs, but no desk.
じじじたびIt's close to Durbar Square in the Thamel district, so it's conveniently located just a 10-minute walk (or a leisurely 15-minute walk - I'm not sure how long it took).
There is also a popular restaurant in the same building.
The staff are very friendly and always attentive. You can feel free to ask about bus and flight arrangements and tour applications.
I wouldn't say that every corner of the building is clean, but the corridors and toilets that are used on a daily basis are cleaned several times a day.
There are both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned rooms.
GGuest UserThere is a garden and the restaurant is also in the garden. The single bed is a little small but very comfortable. There is a terrace facing the garden. Fortunately, it closes at 8 or 9 in the evening, so it becomes very quiet immediately.
肥肥頭仔One of the newly built hotel in Kathmandu, though it’s not close to the central tourist district, Thamel area but it’s just 20mins drive from the Airport, so quite convenient.
Since my booking including an airport pick up and drop off, so my whole journey was very smooth. Thank you much to the concierge arrangement for the logistic.
As for catering, I have only had their breakfast buffet which was also including in my booking, through my four days breakfast I didn’t get bored yet since they offered a wide variety of food options. Westerns parties, Chinese food, local Nepalese food and also Indian ones. The head chef and his catering team are super attentive and thank you so much for taking good care of my stomach during my stay.
Room, since it’s newly built, all facilities are up to standards, and the sound proofing is quite ok to a light sleeper like me. Water pressure from the shower is good; and the amenities are well provided.
Besides to our beds. There are usb and charging ports, very convenient.
Other facilities:
Gym: small one but well equipped
Spa: there’s a spa on the top floor but I haven’t had time to try
Rooftop bar: very nice ambient should go during the sunset
Overall, if I would ever visit Kathmandu again Hilton is my only option.
Ps. I stayed at this hotel in Feb 2025
GGuest UserThe hotel service was almost impeccably superb.
I arrived and was departed by the same polite receptionist, Manoj.
The bed was cozy,the toilet was nice (equipped with a range of toiletries) and the interior room was just wonderful.
Breakfast was decent and simple.
The staff were always ready to serve you.
The welcoming atmosphere was somewhat delightful.🫠
The manager even helped us with our planning of Kathmandu- Pokhara and provides all the necessary details that we need to know over there. Saves us a lot of time. 👍🏼
The location was just right. Easily walking access to nearby food place and market for essential buyings.
Just that the tv programs were all news channels,that was a slight bummer but most of the time we were out so it doesn't really matter.
And our room view was limited maybe because we were on the lower floor but the home style feels overcame the restriction.
There is a saying:
”Perfect goodbyes leave nothing unsaid, thereby there's nothing left to come back for.”
Overall, even with just 18 rooms in this hotel, I didn't regret making it my destination to rest at Kathmandu.
It was truly a lovely place and I hope it prospers widely in the future.
Lastly, for all the staff in Kumari Boutique Hotel who appreciate our existence that one week stay,thank you a lot! 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
