I am surprised that hotels.com said it's a 4 star hotel, I would say it a 1 star. Very very different then what you see in the pictures. Very dirty, there was a bug in my bed, tv and ac wasn't working properly. Even though my booking was all paid for in advance, they tried to charge me again. SIMPLE is AVOID this hotel if you can

You get what you paid for!
Hotel check in was at 11 am but room wasn’t made ready until 1.10 pm and had to wait in the lobby like other guests. Very old building. Description mentions about reno but feels like it is just new wall paper only. Room door was made of thin aluminum- pretty cheap and chairs in the room have black stains and dirt all over. Bathroom is mediocre and faucet tap wasn’t working. I decided to leave to another hotel within hours even though I had paid for the night. Hard to find location. I won’t stay here again.

I stayed 3 nights by booking 3family rooms. Rooms need to be cleaned and updated. My son was bitten by mosquitoes inside the room at night and got infected and had to hospital. Staff were friendly. Overall not the same it looked while booking online. Deceivingly appeared different while I was at the property.

Thank you Ramesh
The hotel is located in a frightfully congested area - if you don't drive there, it could be perfect. We met a manager in the restaurant - Ramesh - who was very helpful - he went out of his way to support on many aspects of our Nepal stay - thank you Ramesh for your kind and professional manner. The lobby service was rather poor. They could definitely replace the flask in the room with a kettle and two cups!!

I highly recommend to all visitors of Nepal with middle income Hotel Nepalaya because: 1. It is excellent hotel, very clean, with friendly personnel and good services 2. It is in the heart of Kathmandu (Tamel) very close from all kind of historical places 3. It is in the heart of Kathmandu (Tamel) very close from all kind of shops and good restaurants with middle prices and good quality of the food 4. It is good hotel management who can provide for you all kind of therapy - starting from Aroma and Yoga (they have connection with fantastic school of Yoga where you can get short course of lessons or get consultation etc) 5. It's will be good choice if you need booking car on bus in middle price 6. It is fantastic hotel, because you can get not only your free breakfast at the restaurant located on the 7 floor balcony (or lunch and dinner by very loo price and good quality) but fantastic impressions - watching nice details of town, sunrise and sunset Have nice trip to Nepal and Kathmandu it is reappy fantastic dream!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had a wonderful experience at Hotel Nepalaya. The room was clean and having AC was amazing in the heat. My favorite place was their rooftop restaurant where I watched the sun rise and was able to enjoy the busy city from above.

Great hotel in Thamel, the rooms were as expected however it was the staff who really made this place great. Very welcoming from the second I walked in the door, always asking if I needed any help with anything and were helpful in providing directions and advice to find my way around Thamel. Looking forward to coming back here after some trekking to enjoy the rooftop restaurant

It was easy to reach everywhere in minutes. they can help you with tours and I booked an astrology reading for $10 and it was great and took about an hour of my time. They aslo do yoga and much more. The breakfast was big and filling and we loved sitting at the rooftop in the morning with our coffee, looking at Thamel waking up :)
