The hotel has a rooftop restaurant that offers a good breakfast and amazing views of Kathmandu. The staff members are friendly and helpful. Basu helped us organise our trek to EBC including a private Jeep to Jiri, a dependable porter, permits, and flights back from Lukla. He also picked us up from the airport free of charge when we arrived in Kathmandu. We highly recommend this hotel.

Excellent location, tucked away behind one of the main streets in Thamel, an easy walk to the main sights and sites of central Kathmandu. The staff on reception and in the rooftop restaurant were friendly and helpful (with just one exception) and spoke good (sometimes excellent) English. The rooms all faced inwards (remember to draw your curtains!) and were reasonably comfortable, with good hot showers. We used the hotel as our base and came back to it after spending time away in other parts of Nepal - so the free baggage storage was useful (and efficient). Excellent breakfast and good food for lunch/supper on the roof with lovely views over central Kathmandu and out to the surrounding hills.

Wifi on bedroom floors was patchy, though generally good on the roof and in reception.

They have amazing staff and amazing breakfast. Also the rooftop restaurant is nice along with the seating arrangement. Most of the hotels don't have a lift in Thamel, but this one did. With some added pigeon noises my stay was nice.

The washroom and fittings wasn't good. The lift is very small & the room didn't have any view at all. the door and the bathroom door was bit broken. However all things was working as expected. The AC was a bit small than the room required.

Wifi is ok, hot water is hot, there is a nice rooftop restaurant with good food. Breakfast was wonderful. Free taxi from the airport really waited for me at arrival (there was a queue for 1.5 hour at least). Generally staff is very nice and friendly. There is a cooler with hot and cold water at every floor.

I strongly advice you, if you like this hotel, to book it only via Booking.com, othervise they will try to refuse the free taxi service to the airport, and will try to charge you 800 roupees, while the cheapest taxi costs only 500. And the room will be changed also. I stayed there 2 times, on the second time I booked directly and regretted it, as I had some negociation about free taxi to the airport. Book via Booking and be safe about this.

A great budget hotel right at the centre of Thamel with all basic amenities you need and a great affordable attached rooftop restaurant! The check in desk is manned 24 hours which was a great help as i arrived almost midnight. Luckily the hotel is known by all taxi drivers, so i had no problems arriving. The staff are very helpful. Rooms are big and very clean. The hot water is ample and really hot. Beds are comfy. There are balconies at end of corridors so there's ample air and also a place for smokers without having to go out of hotels. A great feature is the rooftop restaurant where the serve magic breakfast and also a la karta lunches and dinners. The prices are above high street prices but affordable. There's also a good bar at this restaurant.

Hotel is slightly inside main street. So, you could find it but tricky to find as it's not on main Thamel Street. The 2 small signs can be missed.

The breakfast is a remarkable buffet and changes everyday. The rooms were nice, we even had a bathtub.

It wasn't possible to pay later, even if you stay there. Also the rooftop restaurant is nice (pricey) but it would be great if there was no compulsory consumption for guests on the rooftop. All in all we missed a relaxed and welcoming vibe.

The hotel was coozy. Little yet well equipped. In the dead center of Thamel yet far away from the hazzle and bazzle. Rooms are super clean and well looked after hit water is readily available. Bathrooms were very clean with few amenities and the towels were clean. I am highly sataisfied with the services of the friendly stafff ! Great place to visit ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥

The room was comfortable, and the shower was hot! Great free breakfast and rooftop restaurant. Good location, quiet and close to all the shops and restaurants in Thamel. A bonus for me was the heating in room!! Nice helpful staff in both the restaurant and front desk. Free hot and cold water stations on every floor was awesome, very convenient to make tea and coffee.

Room was a little small but I know there are bigger ones than the one I had. But great value for sure!

I stayed at Hotel Nepalaya for three nights before going trekking and for two nights after, and the hotel let me keep the luggage not needed for the trek in their storage room. My room was clean and spacious, and wifi worked well. Breakfast was great. The location in Thamel is very convenient, close to good places, but nice and quiet. I would stay here again.

some rooms don‘t have windows to the outside, though there is natural light from a window facing an open corridor within the hotel.

Even though this hotel a little bit secluded main from the main road, I think this a great value to stay..it is nearby The Thamel street..a lot of souvenir shop..and few hundred meters to walk easy access for Halal food..overall it is nice stay at Hotel Nepalaya..
