Top Kathmandu Hotel Reviews

Oasis Kathmandu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was located in a quiet part of the Thamel neighborhood yet still close to the lively shops and attractions in the surrounding area. A free shuttle from the airport was available which was arranged easily by providing your flight arrival information. Staff members were friendly and professional and the room was clean and spacious. The free breakfast was great and had a good variety of food."

Airport Himalaya Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Needed a place to stay for one night as I arrived a day earlier than expected to Kathmandu. The hotel is in a great location, I actually just walked over from the airport. There was also a couple stores directly across the narrow street, that was quite convenient. The property is clean and well maintained, it was all I needed. I wish I would have asked the name of the lady working the front desk at check in. She was very friendly and helpful. Thank you :)"

Central Courtyard - Heritage Hötel & Artisan Café

8/10 Good

"Staff were excellent very helpful Breakfasts were ok Though they lacked choice and were limited. For example you were charged extra for a double shot coffee or for milk Bathroom had that usual regional problem of flooding the entire room if you have a shower"

Nepali Heritage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed 15 days and enjoyed the off street peaceful location. The staff was exceptional in so many ways, directions, sightseeing, travel advice, you name it. The restaurant was a quiet oasis from the city street noise. Good food in an outdoor setting. Overall, excellent staff and a great value and great location. Very highly recommend !!!"

Hotel Yak & Yeti

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Two staff members (a young woman-who seemed to be a manager at the reception desk and one of the omelette chefs) are great. The young manager remembered me from a previous stay and asked germane questions as to how things were going. The chef remembered me from brief interactions during breakfast and prepare my omelette without asking any questions."
