It was my first ever trip to Nepal and I am in love with nepal forever. Now Nepal is my 2nd go to destination anytime if I want to, the best stay Hotel yala peak Everything is best either you talk about food Yala cafe or the hotel or the Staff (courteous) staff Thnks for making my vacation the best ever

+ Rahim (alias James Franco) is a wonderful host. he comes to the train station at 4:30h in the morning to pick me up and also he help me with some issues. he is funny and he makes you feel at home. I contracted a desert safari with him (wonderful too) and the next day he let me take a shower and rest in his hotel. he always has a chai to offer you :)

I felt very safe in the solid traditional building. I was in Kathmandu during the earthquake in 2015, staying in a nearby hotel, so still felt a little apprehension. My room on the fourth floor was perfect for my week's stay. I had a couple of room requests which were very quickly satisfied. The location is well-known to taxi drivers and people working in the industry, and it is very convenient. The staff go above and beyond to help guests. Thank you to all...🙏

I was happy with everything!

Clean room, comfy bed, super staff (young, welcoming, very helpful and always smiling). Surprisingly quiet. A bit of noise in the early morning but not related to the hotel staff. More the locals going to work. Excellent restaurant. Will adapt food to you likings and taste. Could not ask for better. For the price this is by far the best place I have found.

Noise in the morning but this is not related to the hotel staff. Smokers in the designated spots but can still bother the sensitive non smoker.

I had a wonderful stay at Yala Peak during my first week in Nepal. It was the perfect place to base myself as it was in such a great location. The room was very spacious and clean. Bathroom was okay but very small and in need of some refurbishment but can't complain for the price. The people there were so lovely and accommodating to any needs I had. Always welcomed me with a warm smile. Their restaurant was also wonderful, excellent choice of food and great prices. I lost count of how many times I ate there!

Incredible value in a great Thamel location. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Staff was so friendly and helpful! I stayed in three different places in Kathmandu during my travels and this was definitely the best for the affordable price! The attached restaurant serves great food and is an excellent spot to hang out.

Evening shower was not entirely hot, but morning and afternoon there was plenty of hot water.

We love yala peak! We stay every time we have come to Kathmandu, and they even remember our names! The staff are so lovely and helpful. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The location is good in Thamel, but also nicely tucked away so the roof terrace is away from the main roads. Yes the surroundings are noisy but it's probably as quiet as you could get in the middle of Kathmandu. The food in the restaurant is delicious and it's also a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend it to be your base in Kathmandu.

Hotel was in cul-de-sac location, which was decently quiet and only 100 m away from busy street. Also, very convenient to have cafe in the hotel with beautiful garden settings. Absolutely fantastic combination.

Wi-Fi was not good. After talking to receptionist I've got different wi-fi connection, which was fine. Towel could have been updated with newer version - was clean just looked quite old.

Let me begin by saying this was my fourth trip to Nepal over the years and this was by far the best, without a doubt! Absolutely brilliant and wonderful place to stay. Right in the middle of the bustling Thamel, yet nestled away from the noise (I reckon it's not noise, it's part of the experience, beautiful chaos, as they say 😊) Great rooms, suited to each one's budget and clean. The cleaning staff keep the place top notch right through the day. Right from check-in, everything is smooth and the staff go out of their way to make you so, so, so comfortable. There's a saying in Nepali: Atithi Devo Bhava which translates to 'Guest is God.' And this is true of Hotel Yala Peak. Every member of the staff was so helpful during my stay, but a very special mention goes out to baini (little sister) Isha (Baini, hope you got the little gift I left for you at the reception as I had an early morning flight and couldn't see you and say good bye). She is such a sweet person and has so much of positive energy that it feels like all is well with the world! 😊. Dhanyabad, baini (little sister). And, last but not the least, of course the owner Mr. Durga, such a down to earth person. Thank you, dai (big brother). Will surely be back to my second

located in a great position in thamel, very friendly staff, nice restaurant and terraces.

they provide very basic extra (soap and toilet paper). no hair dryer
