Poor service-stay away
To begin, let's start by saying I am fluent in Nepali and all of my conversation happened in Nepali, not English. We checked in and let the staff know that we had an additional person. They checked back and said that they didn't have a bigger room for us. We understood and suggested that we all share the room. They offered to provide something to put on the floor, so our +1 could sleep on the floor. Moments later, they told us that they couldn't give us any extra blankets, pillows or floor covering, as they didn't have any. They told us it would be 50% more to add one person, even though that offered nothing for him. I told them that this wrong and inappropriate. They immediately retorted that they had to pay extra for the power and the water that we use., They had no hot water, and on one took a shower. They had 2 outlets in the room, and all we used them for was charging cell phones. 50% more....really! Had we any other choice, we would have taken it. Instead, we just paid the 50% extra. My sister (who also speaks Nepali) did some Q and A. The building is owned by a tibetian who rents it out to the current people who use it as a hotel. Those people aren't Tibetan. They were looking to make some $ money without doing any work to get the money. I was upset, to say the least, on the guy on the floor had a few sarcastic comments about what he got for his extra $. We were exploited. I would never go back there.

READ THIS FIRST - FRAUDULENT LISTING
Beware that the listing is completely fraudulent and you do not even get what you pay for. Here are the things that their listing says they provide but they do not: * Air conditioning (no rooms in the entire hotel have air conditioning) * Coffee/tea maker * Fireplace * In-room safe * Pay movies * Soundproofed rooms * Courtyard views (one of our windows faced a brick wall less than a foot away and the other faced a building and water tank). * 3 bedrooms and sitting area (you will just get 1 small room) Also be advised of the following: * The guest house is aware that their listing is fraudulent, but doesn't care. This issue has been raised in past reviews (see for yourself) but the guest house hasn't done anything about it * Staff were not friendly or understanding - completely unlike most of the Nepalese we have met, especially in hotels * There is no such thing as a de luxe room in the entire place, but they knowingly charge more for the exact same room you would get if you book the cheaper room * No hot water at any time of the day * The bed has exposed springs and is super uncomfortable - you won't sleep a minute in this guest house * The fan did not work properly * The shower drain backed up and so the bathroom floor flooded This was the worst hotel we've ever stayed in in Asia, even for the price. Our advice - book another place.

Great for the price. Bed was comfortable although not as much as a western style bed. Need to correct that there is NOT air conditioning but a fan. Other than that great.

Ok stay. Some inconsistencies.
You get what you pay for. This is a 2 star accommodation that's located very nicely in Thamel. The reception staff was not that helpful when I complained about the room. Note that even though the listing states that there is A/C, there is not. Bed was a little uncomfortable. The room was clean and the fan worked well. Again, you get what you pay for and I got a great deal. Just wish they were more receptive to my A/C complaint.

quiet and clean lodging
My experience was positive overall--they offered me tea at check-in and were very friendly. The room was clean and had a pretty view. Nice, warm comforter! It was only until the very end that some issues surfaced--no hot water for my early shower, and no taxi for the airport, though one said it would be arranged. Also, wifi is only amiable in the lobby, fyi. But other than that, it was quite nice. Bring warm pajamas--rooms are not heated.

Great price and location
I stayed here several times during my stay in Nepal. I would stay here every time I was back in town. Its right in Thamel, close to all the popular spots and the price is extremely affordable. The staff is helpful but can be forgetful so if you need something be aggressive. Not all rooms have fans so try to request one ahead of time. On my last night The rooms are small but again if you are only there to sleep at night it does the trick. I would stay there again when I return.

Excellent location! Very budget rooming.
Great location! It's right amidst the hustle and bustle of Thamel. Lots of amazing places to eat and shop only seconds away by foot.The beds were warm and comfortable. The only dissapointment was the shower. It was cold water only, which isn't fun after a freezing hike. The rooms are very small, but we didn't mind too much. It is extremely budget, I recommend only for travellers who will be spending a majority of their time outside.

Dear Guest!!! Thanking you so much for your stay at shree tibet family guest house. Nice to know that you like the location, bed etc.... Yes, you are right our some room are small, it is budget guest house and price also not a high. Every day in nepal, we have a 12 hour power cut and some time in the morning shower is cold but we always request to our guest taking a shower in the evening between 6 pm to 11 pm, because of at that time we heat the water throw jeanerater.And in the future we will fixed this problem.Try to make your plan to stay with us again and i am sure you will get much better service then before.

Good Stay in Family Guesthouse. Feel Like Home!
Mr. Lamichhane & Ganesh, Namaste! I was staying in Shree Tibet Family Guesthouse for a week. I love your guesthouse because of (1) very central location in Thamel District. (2) Nepali, Italian, Thai restaurants, supermarkets are all there! (3) Patient driver....(sorry to keep you waiting for a long time :>) Pick-up transfer service for paying a little money from Airport directly to Hotel, even though the scheduled flight was unlikely delayed to two hours upon arrival at that night. (4) Very friendly and helpful staff. More than that, (5) free steady hot water supply and very clean & cozy room. All in all, highly recommended to travelers / backpackers from all over the world!! May I say "dhanyabad" (Thank You) to you all.....Hope to see you again in the next visit!

Ok in a pinch
I was sure I booked a "room" even my reservation said 1room 2 nights I arrive at midnight and there was no room for me, I had to sleep in the dorm room which I then found out that's what they reserved me under. The staff is really great they made it up to me with free breakfast and put me in a private room the next day with no washroom inside literally just a room with a window, still I was grateful! This place is literally just ok if your in a pinch, the roof top is nice! Very basic.

Very good guesthouse in Thamel
Very good hotel and quite clean but the only problem is it's right in the centre of Thamel and can be very noisy late evening and early night as there are some bars nearby with loud music. If you don't mind the noise then it's a perfect guesthouse

Very well located
The staff is very good. Very reasonable price formthe quality of the hotel and what they offer, and well located in the touristic centre (THAMEL). They also gave me a drop to the airport. I organized with their travel office a trip to Pokhara and 4 days trekking in Annapurna. Everything went perfect ( plane ticket, transferís, hotel and Guest Houses, bus back to Kathmandú ). And the best part of it was my GUIDE Weka. A real kind man who really took care of me during All the trekking journey. Naren Harjani

Great value and great location!
I enjoyed an extended stay at Shree Tibet. First, the good. I stayed in a single with in-suite bathroom. The room was a pretty good size, it was clean, and it was comfortable. On this site, it was the cheapest hotel in Kathmandu, but it was a fantastic value for the money. If you expect the Hyatt, you will be disappointed. If you expect clean and comfortable in a great location with a very friendly and accommodating staff, you will be happy you chose this hotel. A couple of negatives, though. The wi-fi isn't always so fast, but I faced the street and was within range of Funky Buddha's wi-fi and it was much better. I ate breakfast there every morning (very cheap and good), so I had the password. Also, there were tiny ants in my room. They sprayed, but it didn't help much. I honestly didn't notice them too much, though, so it wasn't a big deal. Again, for the price you will be hard pressed to find a nicer hotel than this. I would absolutely stay here again.

Awesome water pressure (with hot water!)
We arrived late, and left early, so didn't have a lot of time to consider the hotel. One awkward thing - the only option was two twin beds, so my wife and I had to sleep separately. The water pressure was amazing, and internet worked great. Also, right in the middle of the Thamel neighborhood. Downsides: the separate beds and the neighborhood is noisy, but overall, a very good deal for what you are getting.

Decent hotel with helpful staff
We stayed two nights here, having severe food poisoning (not related to the hotel). But. There was no running water in our bathroom for a full day. So no toilet, shower or washing. Which is a problem when you have to go to the toilet every 10 minutes. Other than that the staff was very helpful and spoke good English.

Perfectly situated in the Thamel area of Katmandu
A very peaceful relaxed hotel in the heart of the chaos of Kathmandu. Greeted by very friendly staff and a wonderful cup of Masala Tea. Basic and clean accommodation. Fantastic value for the price. You must expect regular power cuts, no hot water and no lights regularly throughout the day but its all part of the Kathmandu experience.

Satisfactory place
Our taxi driver from the airport did not know the name so we had a prolonged trip to find it. Our room was small but quiet, clean and bright - it was at the back on 2nd from top floor. We discovered the pleasant roof garden - great views on a clear day. From the pictures, I was expecting the foyer to be dark and not very clean, but this is not the case, although not so bright during electricity load shedding times. Wifi worked well on our floor at all times as there was an additional wifi modem on our floor. Location is good - surrounded by shops and eating places and mgt were polite and friendly.
