I had the pleasure of staying with Hotel Encounter 4 separate times in 2 1/2 weeks, and it was a fantastic experience. The staff was excellent, the food was incredible, and the rooms are a nice safe-haven when you are so far from home. I am so appreciative. Thank you, Hotel Encounter, for taking such great care of me!

The General Manager Mr. Mukunda Pokharel will quickly find you a good transport to airport or wherever you want to go in Nepal. The rooms are big by American and Thai standards. Bathrooms are big and clean. Beds are excellent big and firm exactly as we like our beds to be. Staff are super safe, friendly, funny, considerate, cheerful, discreet, helpful, and can get you any service or tour or info you can possibly need. Two big quiet gardens away from exciting busy hustle and bustle of Thamel neighborhood. Rooms are very clean. Staircase is excellent, wide, beautiful, clean all marble stone for easy fast carrying luggage and running to your free breakfast in the garden. The city of Kathmandu is currently doing a lot of road work, construction, city plumbing, so most hotels in the area temporarily (less than 1 minute) have a short blast of black or grey concrete coming from sink tap, toilet, just a few seconds, so don’t panic, it’s just the city water main lines being worked on. Some hotels also have water towers or cisterns atop their roofs to ensure you have lots of water 24/7, so dusty water for a moment might be normal. Clean water eventually comes out, you’ll be OK. Drink bottled water and use that for brushing your teeth and washing your face, you will be OK. Looking forward to our next vacation in Nepal. The cities are glorious fun chaos and dusty good fun: adventure pure and simple. Do try to escape the city for the mountains! Aloha :) Namaste!

It was a lovely stay. I booked a standard room for one night. Upon check-in at the hotel, the administration upgraded it to a Deluxe room free of additional charges. The in-house restaurent was wonderful. Food was great. Room service was fast and excellent. I will definetly stay here next time I visit Kathmandu. Overall a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.
