This was so comfortable stay at hotel Nepalaya. Hotel owner is so nice person with positive attitude, instant and help on the spot. All the staffs were nice. Rooftop garden was the most beautiful part of hotel. Reception and Lubby area is quite big. Next beautiful part is just inside the road so peaceful and calm. Thanks for making my stay unforgettable. Will come to your place again probably next year. See you..

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.

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

Ok but I wouldn’t stay again

The room was a good size the bed were good. The bathroom was ok but it has two vents to the outside that let in all the polluted air in and you can’t close them. One of the vents connected to the room next door so you can hear everything. On that note the sound proofing in the room is none existent we were underneath the restaurant and it was like being in a building site. The doors and windows are paper thin so you don’t get any peace until 12-1am when the restaurant is packing up. The hotels in a good location right in the middle of the tourist district, having said that I wouldn’t stay here again. The curtains don’t block out any light and you have to keep them closed as everyone can see into your room from the hall way.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

寝るだけのホテルで我慢する事

ホテルスタッフの大きな声が深夜まで続き寝られなかった、又翌朝は館内修理が朝から始まりうるさかった。枕カバー、毛布カバーは汚れが有り、日々の部屋掃除もされていませんでした。朝食時にはホテルスタッフも同じ食堂で食べており驚きました。又食材が無くなってもそのままで早いもの勝ちのブッフェスタイルです。 予約時にはバスタブ付きの部屋をお願いしたがシャワールームのみで要求したサービスは受けられなかった。 シャワーヘッドとの切り替えは不調で蛇口で洗う羽目になったがお湯は充分満足する。 このホテルで良い点は繁華街に近く便利な点です。
