Guest Reviews
- Gileno (9/5): -
- Lala (10/5): -
- Dinara (10/5): - Интерьер и расположение, внутренний двор.
- Chelsee (10/5): Comfortable stay in Kathmandu - The location was great, very close to everything we needed. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Room was clean and shower was hot 😊
- Boris (10/5): Wonderful hotel with outstanding staff care. - The location is great for a young tourist who is looking forward for cultural heritage at daytime and bars by the evening. The district is safe and has its own atmosphere. The hotel is charming, clean and staff is extremely helpful and polite. I met the highest level of hospitality and exceptional service. I also liked the inner garden where you can sit at the evening with a drink or a dinner. I can highly recommend this place.
- Amanda (10/5): Great location, staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms very clean and comfortable. Beautiful establishment. - Very central in Thamel. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Food is lovely. A nice oasis. Hot water can take a while to come through
- jerome (9/5): Très bon séjour ! - L’emplacement , le style népalais . La propreté des chambres . Le personnel adorable et aux petits soins . Les petits déjeuners très bons et copieux . La cuisine très bonne .
- Karan (8/5): Great staff; great bar/restaurant; great location. Alas, six floors and no elevator. - The staff - exceptionally helpful always trying to meet customer requirements. I needed an extension board and someone promptly went to the market and bought one for us to use. Some other examples too. No elevators even to the 6th floor. The balcony of junior suite looks on a sorry dismal lane.
- Phadungruangkij (7/5): - The morning breakfast was superb both quality and quantity. The hotel's location in Thamel can be a bit noisy at night but very convenient to find all kinds of shops, restaurants, and cafes. The only thing that made our stay a little bit miserable was that the A/C in our room stopped working and couldn't turn on for the entire night so we had to open windows to let the air (and noise) come in. The staffs were trying to help but there was not much he could do. The best answer we got was that the electrician would come in the morning!
- Kamal (10/5): Had a nice sleep n breakfast is second to none. - Cleanliness Nothing
- Gil (9/5): A peacull island in the heart of Kathmandu - Very nice boutique hotel, in the heart of Thamel. The hotel itself has an isolated courtyard. Staff is very helpful and friendly. These is like an "island of quiet and peace" in the middle of Kathmandu. They can arrange car with a driver and a tur guide - which we used - was great. The hotel has no elevator - so make sure your room is on a reasonable floor. Other than that, our room did not have a desk - which would have been nice to have.
- Shirley (10/5): - Very central location. Courtyard was a relaxing, quiet space for fabulous breakfast, evening drinks and dinner. Rooms were spacious. Staff were very helpful and friendly.
- Mari (9/5): - My go-to place in Kathmandu. Authentic feel, atmospheric courtyard, very good food, comfortable rooms and nice staff.
- ISEOB (10/5): -
- Beckmann (8/5): - Raumdeko Kein Fahrstuhl
- Shayne (10/5): -
- Jennifer (10/5): Gehobenes Hotel mit tollem Innenhof in Thamel - Super sauber modern Konstant Warmes Wasser Unheimlich bequemes Bett Viel Platz Bemühtes Personal Die Möglichkeit täglich morgens und abends an Yoga Stunden teilzunehmen Mir hat ein bisschen das Informationsmaterial zu den angebotenen Leistungen (Spa, Frühstück, Yoga, Fitnessraum) gefehlt. Es ließ sich aber jederzeit sogar per WhatsApp an der Rezeption nachfragen.
- DANIEL (9/5): Boa estadia em um oásis de paz no centro histórico - Staff com uma atenção totalmente diferenciada. Suíte Everest ampla, limpa e muito confortável. Localização muito boa. Restaurante com excelente comida! O barulho durante a madrugada da boate ao lado.
- Loes (10/5): - Ligging was top, alles op loopafstand. Kamer was ruim, goed bed en een nette badkamer. Als ouder stel is het best jammer dat er geen lift aanwezig is. Verbleven op de 4e verdieping en zonder lift is dat redelijk ongemakkelijk.
- CHUN (10/5): - 很好的入住体验，艺术氛围浓郁，员工也很热情，非常值得推荐👍
- Nicola (10/5): Perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu but the perfect spot to get out and about in it also - The location and the courtyard. The staff were amazing and super attentive. Breakfast and the masala chai were great. Rooms clean and spacious. Staff more than accommodating and also helped with local activities. We went on a trek for a few days and we could Leave our luggage at the hotel no problem. That we had to leave. Nothing negative to say.
- Manganelli (10/5): - The staff, and the room.
- Haneul (8/5): 타멜거리에서 괜찮은 가성비 숙소 - 층마다, 계단마다 있던 예술품들로 눈이 즐거웠음. 방도 넓은 편이어서 두루두루 편했음. 시스템에어컨도 신기했고. 체크인때뿐만 아니라 체크아웃하는 시간 맞춰서 직원이 캐리어 들어다주는 것도 너무 상냥했음. 위치도 타멜거리를 즐기기에 너무 좋았음. 호텔 1층 레스토랑도 추천함! 조식도 좋았고 저녁에 간단한 요리와 술한잔 하기에도 편하고 좋았음. 엘베가 없고 계단이 높은편이라 높은 층을 배정받으면 힘들것같음. 그리고 내가 묵었던 객실만 그렇겠지만, 테라스가 아닌 창문쪽에서 톡톡 소리가나서 보니까 비둘기.. 근데 사람무서워하는지 커튼 확 걷었다고 밖에 비둘기가 떼로 모여있다가 날아갔다가 옆건물에 붙어있다 다시오고 날아가고 그랬음.. 그쪽 커튼을 하루동안 일부 걷어두니 다음날부턴 거의 안오긴함. 그래도 비둘기 싫어하시면 좀...
- Yvonne (10/5): Fabulous friendly arty hotel superb quality - Breakfast fabulous. Attentive friendly staff. Totally professional but low key chill vibe. Beautiful courtyard it’s an oasis in middle of Thamel. We loved it ! Nothing too much trouble. Shout out to Ujjawal super helpful on reception what AMAZING service - thank you ! Also this is the best hotel I’ve EVER stayed at for incredible art on the walls - I hear the owner has a passion for supporting Nepali artists and it shows - such beautiful work gave me pleasure to see everyday. Totally professional hotel but maintains a welcoming friendly vibe. Right in heart of Thamel. 100% recommend. Nothing
- Yasir Mohammed Farooque (7/5): - Great location and great restaurant staffs. I had chocolates stolen from the room. I had complained at the reception. I felt very uncomfortable staying after that happened.
- Yasir Mohammed Farooque (7/5): -
- Kerrie (10/5): will be back - location rooms staff environment nothing
- Anne (10/5): An oasis of tranquillity in the heart of Thamel - I love this little boutique hotel : it’s an oasis of tranquillity in the heart of busy Thamel . It’s tastefully decorated with unique and striking art . There is a huge bougainvillea cascading down its red bricks walls .. The staff is very professional and courteous. The food is delicious ( breakfast and other meals. There is a good restaurant on site ) Nothing . Perfect stay
- Pathomporn (10/5): Reasonable price , helpful staff , great breakfast - Really love location , staff , breakfast. Beautiful hotel , clean room

- Mariana (10/5): Hotel aconchegante e acolhedor. Super indico. - Gostei de tudo. Super localização, hotel lindo e aconchegante. Staff impecável e gentil. Quarto espaçoso. É realmente um hotel lindo e realmente inserido na cultura e arquitetura do Nepal. E gostaria de fazer uma observação aos outros comentários que falaram não ter elevador. É assim que é no Nepal. Não tem elevador em lugar nenhum, porque no hotel teria? Faz parte do charme e da originalidade do lugar.
- Clara (10/5): Relaxing and comfortable! - Beautiful interiors and courtyard, amazing staff, really good breakfast! Nothing! Amazing stay!
- Anne (10/5): A true gem. - Top stay. Everything was perfect : from the comfort of my room to the delicious momos I ordered at the restaurant. Nice and very helpful staff, great location, restful courtyard, excellent value for money hotel. Nothing could have been better. This is a great hotel priced very reasonably
- Marybeth (10/5): Restful and peaceful space in an excellent location - The staff were beyond helpful and kind. Great amenities! Bottled water in the room each day, an excellent breakfast with a menu of items to order off of, beautiful views of the city/courtyard, a very knowledgable instructor leading yoga each morning. We also arranged for a half-day driver to do some sightseeing around Kathmandu. I would love to stay there again and was very sad to say goodbye.
- Anne (10/5): Un hôtel de charme au service impeccable en plein cœur de la ville - Un hôtel avec beaucoup de charme où je séjourne souvent : service impeccable , des chambres très confortables , un excellent restaurant , des petits déjeuners à la carte copieux et inclus, et surtout un emplacement idéal au cœur de Thamel et une architecture typique avec de très belles œuvres d’art nepalais … Rien

Located in the very heart of Thamel, the Dalai La is a quiet place so you can sleep peaceful. The rooms are spacious and clean, well designed and equipped , the bathroom offers a shower with hot water and good waterpressure 24hrs. Breakfast a la carte, very tasty, and not to forget the the staff, all of them very friendly and helpful. A special thanks to the people from customer relation, they quickly answered to my inquiery regarding special Food for my wife, that made us felt welcome . When we come back we will defenetly stay at Dalai La!

The staff are a big part of the experience- they are warm and go above and beyond to be helpful (for example Ujjwal helped our friend sort her e-sim). The comfort is excellent and we loved the art. We liked everything
- Alexander (10/5): I love coming back to the Dalai-La, which is a favourite of mine.

- Ed (7/5): - Everything except no elevator.
- Patrick (8/5): This is a great place to stay if you are looking for good value, great location and a beautiful courtyard to relax in wh - We loved the courtyard and our room was spacious- great value. The bathroom wall is a bit odd - it was glass and didn’t provide as much privacy as one might like (sound and otherwise) when using the facilities.
- אריאל דרמון (10/5): -

- Renate (9/5): Sehr empfehlenswert! - Superschöner Innenhof, leckeres Frühstück. Das Hotel hat keinen Aufzug, deshalb tägliches workout um in den 5. Stock zu gelangen. Zentrale Lage und sehr hilfsbereites und freundliches Personal. Sehr viele Tauben mit ihren Hinterlassenschaften.
- Anshuman (9/5): - Location was perfect. Rooms were comfortable. Property was clean and maintained. Service was good and catered to our kids requirement. Limited breakfast options. No lift but they did move us to a lower floor.

- Devon (10/5): A Peaceful Boutique Oasis in Kathmandu’s Heart (Near Thamel) - I stayed at Dalai-La Boutique Hotel from July 30–31, 2025, and loved every bit of it. As an American traveler, I’ve seen my share of hotels, but this place felt genuinely special. The moment I walked in, the traditional Nepalese architecture transported me—almost like being in Bhaktapur or Patan, right in the middle of Kathmandu. The courtyard was unbelievably peaceful, a quiet retreat from the bustle of Thamel, and a perfect place to unwind with a tea. The room was large, comfortable, and tastefully done with local touches that made it feel authentic without being kitschy. The food was another highlight—full of real Nepali flavors. I especially enjoyed their momo and the local-style dishes; everything was fresh and thoughtfully prepared. What truly made the stay stand out was the staff. Everyone was warm, attentive, and seemed to take pride in making sure guests felt welcome. It didn’t feel like a transactional stay—it felt personal. If you’re visiting Kathmandu and want a boutique hotel that combines heritage charm, tranquility, great food, and friendly service—especially if you’re exploring Thamel—this is a top pick. I’d happily stay here again and recommend it to anyone traveling to Nepal. Everything was great

- Bernhard (10/5): Great place. Will stay there again - Great location and staff. Very nice rooms Construction and dust during our stay

- Paul (9/5): We loved our time staying here and would certainly come again! - Being located in the heart of Thamel is very convenient, and this hotel offers a relaxed atmosphere compared to the busy street. An authentic Nepalese vibe, great food and friendly and accommodating staff throughout the hotel.
- Beatriz (10/5): - The location and property are AMAZING!!! We got upgraded to their best room, the Everest, W😍😍W!!!
- Amelia (9/5): Superb - Beautiful place, warm welcome, great shower
- Tasi (1/5): Bad -
- Christine (10/5): Wonderful stay at Dalai-La, definitely recommend this hotel! - Cozy and cute boutique hotel. The staff was helpful and friendly. I ate at the restaurant twice and had the Thali dish both times because it was that good. They offered yoga classes but unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to go. Great location in Thamel. Some of the traffic noise from the street in the early morning was loud.
- Eitan (9/5): highly recommended - the hotel is clean, nice with a perfect atmosphere for Katmandu/ located in a perfect the room which located above the street have some noise breakfast can be richere
- Richard (10/5): - Excellent hotel in Thamel. (My only complaint was there is no elevator.) Great staff, and breakfast room service was fast and hot. Laundry service same day. Right next to a busy Thamel street but a quiet retreat from the chaos around. I would definitely stay here again. 😁👍
- Shivendra (8/5): Junior Suite - It was a nice stay overall. However, we didn't expect the balcony to be so small in a suite. Also, I think the junior suite can be called a deluxe room, but not a suite. The bathroom was almost transparent, which we found quite strange.
- Nicolas (10/5): Lovely jewel of a hotel with an excellent team! - Excellent location in the heart of Thamel, but with a lovely enclosed courtyard that makes you feel far from the crowds. The room, facilities, restaurant and bar all exceeded our expectations, but the real highlight was the wonderful, friendly staff, each of whom went out of their way to make us feel welcomed throughout our stay. Nothing
- Thomas (7/5): Good -
- BIBEK (10/5): - Very clean property in the middle of Thamel. Great amenities. Staff were very professional and service was great. Binod from the hotel was very helpful and ready to assist in any questions we had.
- Martin (9/5): Superb -
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent location, spacious room, lots of choices for a very good breakfast. Best feature was the service from airport transport, expedited laundry, and early packed breakfast. Highly recommend.
- Ashmita (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pranavi (9/5): Good things come to those who climb - I loved that this quaint little hotel was in the middle of bustling Thamel, but still felt quiet and tucked away. It is filled with beautiful art and ceramics. The service and staff were lovely too. The restaurant had many options and the food tasted fresh and delicious. My room was a steep six floors away, and the building has no lifts. My room did not have a full length mirror.
- David (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was fantastic. Absolutely zero complaints.
- Sharon (10/5): Exceptional - Great peaceful hotel in the heart of Kathmandu with lovely outdoor courtyard restaurant with amazing food. Excellent staff who could not be more helpful. Highly recommended.
- Raju (10/5): Excellent hotel - I had a wonderful stay at Dalai- la hotel the location is excellent, making it easy to explore the area. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, which added to the overall positive experience. The breakfast was very good, offering a nice variety to choose from. The hotel room was quite comfortable, providing a great night's sleep. Overall, I highly recommend Nothing
- Elizabeth (10/5): Beautiful accommodation. Best Place in Kathmandu - Staff were excellent. Restaurant had lovely food. 'Pra-Kash', was an excellent waiter. Very professional and receptive (he knew when to converse and when to wait). Rooms were beautifully decorated. I highly recommend the junior Suites. Centrally located. Happy hour drinks and snacks. No lift . It didn't really bother us as the hotel was exceptional. Apart from Pra-Kash, staff hover around a bit hoping for tips but that seems common practice in India and Nepal, it just felt a little uncomfortable when you are staying as a guest.
- Sharon (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing hotel, excellent staff, who go out of their way to ensure you have the most amazing time. We loved everything
