This is an honest establishment where the proprietors offer to show me my room before check in to manage my expectations. It was also clarified that the water is only warm from between 8am to 8pm. Hot water was always available upon request. There is a roof top area for those who would like to go up to catch a breather. They were also one of the rare establishments which will gladly accept USD as payment as per what booking.com says payment should be. Most others in Nepal insisted getting paid in Nepalese Rupees on the highest possible conversion rate, but here the owners are gracious to offer what the street money changers are offering. The stay comes with a nice comfy bath towel which is highly absorbent. If one were to return after 10pm, one can ring the doorbell which sounds like some sort of a non-irritating bird call. The owners can also help to call a taxi on the app for travel to the airport which cost just 600Rs. Totally honest.

I had read from previous reviews that the common toilet would be the squat type so my expectations have been managed for that. I also had my own shampoo sachet. Being on the floor just above ground, I can hear people talking on the backstreet below and even smell their cigarette smoke if the window was open. Sunlight did not quite reach the room as the backlane was narrow and close to the building adjacent. Any higher though would mean having to climb more stairs. Room has an ashtray indicating that this may have catered to smokers who may have stayed before me, hence explaining that bit of smell in the room.

Directly in the heart of the Thamel. Located in a narrow alley, a little bit difficult to find. Very friendly staff. They have a nice rooftop terrace, hot water. Felt very secure. They close the front door between 10pm and 7 am. But there is always someone from the reception during nighttime to let you in or out. They can also provide extra blankets if you wish. We visited in January. Big advantage: it is calm and quite during the night, for a good sleep. Otherwise Thamel is very noisy.

Simple room with two beds. Shared bathroom (cleaned everyday) but very simple too. I mean, don't expect any luxury. Does the job and very good value for money. High speed WiFi, very friendly staff and super location (1 minutes walking to one of the main streets in Thamel). It can be a little bit difficult to find the first time. It's behind one of the main streets but in an alley. In case you arrive late. From 10pm to 7am they close the main entrance with the metallic door. From there turn left to the next corner and you will see a little door with a bell on the left to ring them. Someone will show up. Close to restaurants, shops and amenities.

2 people 1 towel, classic in Nepal

- staff was super nice, when we came early from the airport they gave us room to sleep and said that we can do all the check in later, we should relax first - we got the room on 4th floor which was nice and sunny, we had access to common balcony

- one little nightstand for 2 people in the room, could be 2 - toilets could be better - late night loud noise, but that’s quite normal in this area

Hotel in the deep of Thamel - feels like living with locals. It was a bit tricky to find first time, but then it's ok. Stuff is very helpful, very comfortable mattresses, and room price is great!

I stayed for 2 nights and 2nd night was Friday - so lots of "resting" locals. I had drunk loud neighbors in the next hotel (windiow-to-window room), and they shouted till 4 am... that was really bad, but it never depends on hotel...

My second time staying here. I really like the room as it's very comfortable and also has space for yoga practice. Location is quiet for thamel, central location for thamel, hot water in shower, comfortable beds and lovely hosts.

The staff is amazing. They are really friendly and helpful. My friends and I stayed there 3 times. They let us leave our bags in a storage room because we went to do the Annapurna circuit trek. The location is perfect, in the centre of Thamel. I really recommend it to cheap and simple travellers. I personally felt home. Surely I will book again with them the next time in Kathmandu :)

I'm a regular customer, staying at this small family hotel everytime during journeys to Thamel, Kathmandu. The location is very nice, just in a few steps from all facilities, in the centre of North Thamel. It's always clean, comfortable and shanti in this hotel, family members are very friendly. I like this place a lot. Good stay for a less amount of money.

The location was perfect, very close to artist an markets, restaurants and shops , a little difficult to find only the first time. Brother and Sister were so nice and kind and very helpful. Quality/price 10/10, absolutely recommend

Very affordable. Hot shower, good clean bed and apt wifi. Kind hosts.

Squat toilet for the room with shared bathroom. Although area is very quiet away from the traffic, You can listen to people talking down the street, even at odd hours.
