It is just a hotel. Not very suitable for older people since second floor can only be reached by stairs. I have a leg injury, so it was not the most convenient for me. Everything else is on a better side of Nepalese standards.

I like the staff, they are very helpful, polite and friendly.I also appreciate the SPA facilities connected to the hotel. Even the Sauna was wonderful. We also enjoyed the breakfast with a lot of options. The variety of warm dishes was good, but I would have enjoyed to have mote traditional dishes at breakfast. The food variety was adjusted to western tourists and had a lot of unnecessary sweet cakes, instead I had wished they to have fresh variety of bread. That had made the breakfast menu excellent! They also play calming meditative music in the restaurant. Coffee was so good! There are bakeries in Kathmandu and in Rocka Guesthouse we were provided with fresh bread every morning from their own bakery. But our overall stay, with the possibility to walk and eat dinner in many nice places, cafes and restaurants and small shops nearby.

Don’t pass up the wonderful stay

The room are really clean and comfortable. The rooftop view was a nice add on. The breakfast had a large variety to choose from. The location was really convenient and close to everything. The staff was really friendly and helpful in every way. A real plus was the free one way airport transfer. You don’t get that in many hotels. I would definitely stay there again if I ever went back to Nepal. Thank you for the wonderful stay.

Near Thamel.

Near to Thamel. The room is simple, clean and comfortable. But form time to time, no hot water for shower, and blackout. They forgot to arrange to pick up us from airport to hotel, but finally they gave us a compensation.

A little bit of paradise

I have just returned from my first solo trip to Nepal and made Hotel Moonlight my base for the week. Mr Uttam the owner was extremely helpful and efficient as I arranged all my tours through him, the whole staff were so accommodating in any request. The location was great and as well as some tours I was able to go out alone and do some local sightseeing, it is almost right in the centre of Thamel but far enough away to be able to relax from the dusty streets in the wonderful garden courtyard with a coffee and a book. The room was ample sized, the shower hot, I was lucky enough to be given a wonderful balcony overlooking the courtyard,wifi was very good and the breakfast was a great and welcome start to the day. I can recommend the spa which opened whilst I was there, I had one of the best full body massages ever. A special thanks to Mr Uttam; to Nabin my amazing guide, who was so very patient, kind, knowledgeable and made me feel extremely safe for every trip I went on with him and to Uma the always smiling receptionist.

Not great value

This establishment has had some renovation work done, especially the rooms, but still has some dated aspects, and is in desperate need of an elevator.

There was also one occasion when I had to wait nearly 20 minutes for the shower to produce warm water (most places 10 minutes).

When considering all the issues with the hotel against the price, there is better value to be had in other places in KTM.

Good Quick Fix

It is somewhat convenient and old town setting with small shops, restaurants and cafe.
Place has no lifts and your room on the 5th floor makes you to climb 6 stories... as ground level is Libby (not 1st). Rooms are small and you'll need to insist if you to get a larger one. Overall is pleasant and they try to be accommodating.

Good basic hotel near Thamel action

Room was nothing like photos-completely different and not as nice as we thought it would be. Staff was nice. Food at hotel was pretty good-breakfast included. Hotel is located close to all of the action in Thamel area. Just walk across to an alley and you're basically there. Note that this property backs up to an All Girls school and individual homes-be prepared for a lot of barking dog noise fighting cats during the day/night and school noise during the day which we experienced for room 202. If you're wanting peace and quiet, this is not the hotel for you. Also, did not have basic amenities such as a hair dryer in room or even ironing board/iron. Internet very slow.

Nice place! Amazing service!

The hotel service is awesome. They did everything to make our stay so pleasant. In our first stay, we arrived late and departed early to Lukla. They arranged the airport pickup. When we departed was too early to have the breakfast buffet they arranged a box with our breakfast. It was really nice. When we came back from Lukla we stayed with them again and the room was even better. We had our best lunch in Nepal at their restaurant. They were doing some upgrades at the hotel and the maintenance is very good. It's really nice come to a peaceful place after a day in the city.

Great Hotel, Good food and excellent people

My first visit to Nepal and read some reviews online and booked the hotel. I was a bit skeptical when I first reached the hotel however things were great. It has some great set of people that manage this hotel right from people at front desk, drivers, chefs and waiters. The food served is lipsmacking and the Nepali food is worth trying. I was a tad disappointed with the spread of breakfast but with 95% of guests Europeans at the hotel it was obvious for them to have more continental dishes in breakfast. What makes this hotel excellent is its people...

Lovely hotel just outside of Thamel

The new mangement of this small hotel have created a welcoming, safe and comfortable home away from home. Renovations are substantially complete. The garden provides a quiet oasis for visiting with friends, reading, having a snack or meal. I stayed in one of the boutique rooms which overlooks the garden. It was quiet and nicely decorated with a comfortable bed.....and very clean.

The staff here provides a very high level of service. They are friendly and skilled and handle large service and expedition groups weel while also making the individual traveller at home.

As part of the room tariff, guests are treated to a full breakfast buffet.

A short walk from the entrance is the full offering of restaurants and shops in Thamel. The Hotel Moonlight is well on it's way to becoming one of the top hotels in the area.

I highly recommend staying here while exploring Kathmandu.

픽업을 사람봐서 해주나봐요.

호텔내의 시설과 서비스는 좋았습니다.
편의시설도 무난했구요.네팔의 특성상 위치에서 오는 불만은 어쩔 수없는듯 합니다.
특히 식사는 아주 마음에들었습니다.
그런데 공항픽업이 문제였습니다.
처음엔 안된다하며 택시비를 흥정하던군요.
낮에 400루피하던 택시비가 저녁이라하여 16000루피를 부르고 다시 8000루피를 부르고
이상해서 호텔 닷컴 인포에 무료픽업을 확인하고
제시하자 그때야 무료픽업해주겠다고 합니다.
결론은 무료픽업받았지만.모든 서비스의 점수를 깍는 결점을 보였고 네팔여행마지막날을 씁씁하게 했습니다.
