Excellent service and great location, which is an important consideration in kathmandu. You are close to great nepali shopping, but also quiet away from traffic. Great traditional nepali hotel facility. Wonderful rooftop, with views of kathmandu valley and surrounding mountains. The staff will make you feel very special, in a uniquely nepali way, that I have not found in other countries, that I travel to globally.

This is my favourite hotel in Thamel and I have stayed here many times. It’s situated in a quiet corner of Thamel away from the busy streets. The rooms are nice and big, the breakfast is very nice and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.

This hotel felt like a little home away from home. The staff make it a point to make you feel comfortable and happy. Even though the bathroom had some leaks and the bed wasn’t the greatest, I will stay here again. It is very convenient because you are close to Thamel without being in the hectic area. I walked everywhere and did not need a car unless to go to the temples. Other than that I loved the food options nearby specially the Massala Beads cafe this is a must try and it’s only 5 mins away walking.

My new go-to place in Kathmandu

Property is located in a quiet section of Thamel. Rooms are very clean and tastefully decorated. It has a very nice rooftop terrace to relax. However, the best part of this hotel is the amazing staff! Prabin, the hotel manager, made me feel right at home. He took care of all my transportation arrangements within the area and to the airport at very fair prices. Prabin and his staff are very knowledeable about anything and everything you would want to know about your visit to Kathmandu. They even offered me cold medicine and lemon honey tea when I came down with a cold for two days during my stay! These guys are tge best! Will stay here again

The hotel is clean and cozy, decorated traditionally. I was assigned at the highest floor and had a great view of the area.

The area is the hotspot for tourists, and is full of restaurants and other hotels.

Great for a solo female traveller.

I enjoyed my stay at Kasthamandap Hotel.

The staff were very friendly, and accommodated me with a room for a small fee when I had a very late flight so I wouldn't have to totally check out early.

The breakfast was very nice, especially because the choices were different every day.

Also, I enjoyed the music in the restaurant, again, a different choice each day!

As a single traveller, it was a great location with a number of restaurants and available taxis surrounding the hotel .

Highly recommend!

Great little hotel in excellent location. In a quiet side road 2 minutes walk from main shopping street in Kathmandu. Right next to several bars and restaurants so although it does not have a bar that is not a problem. Very friendly staff, clean and comfortable rooms.

This is such a lovely hotel. The staff are so friendly and helpful (although they discourage taking the local bus which is so easy, and I’m not sure why). The rooms are updated and seem to be new. Breakfast is a full spread with a lot of options, including eggs you can order. The shower is weak pressure, but hot. I was very happy w my stay here.

Nice & quiet boutique hotel away from busy streets

Kasthamamdap Hotel was the perfect stay for me & my husband. We stayed 4 nights before our trek around Annapurna Circuit & another 2 nights after returning from Pokhara before we flew home. The staff are really pleasant & thoughtful. Breakfast was always really nice, food & service was really good. Our room was clean & comfortable & has everything you need. Bed really comfy. The hotel is down a side street but still close to the main tourist area of Thamel. Therefore this hotel is much quieter than the others. I definitely recommend staying here & we will be staying here again next year, as we enjoyed it so much.

False pricing by Expedia

I booked through Expedia.co.in thinking that the prices were in Nepali rupees. When I checked my credit card they charged me Indian rupees. In that case, hotel
Price is just too expensive. There are numerous other great hotels around d for much cheaper prIce. I feel doomed on this aspect. I think Expedia should refund the difference. I paid CAD$345 which should have been ~CAD$215 or so.

Hotel, however, was not bad at all. Staff were really helpful; restaurant had really good breakfast choices. Hotel looked authentic and boutique indeed. I'd stay here again but the price is a bit expensive as I said earlier. My daughter was looking for a swimming pool which wasn't there. Next time I'd likely look for something with a swimming pool.

quality nepali hotel

I arrived quite late and was welcomed with a smile and efficiently checked in. Water was in my room.. Bed was comfortable and room was really clean. Area was a little bit noisy because of building work in front. In the morning there were cooking fumes flowing through my door but other than that. They have a nice roof terrace where u can relax. Breakfast was nice and they provide u tea or coffee out of breakfast hours. Nice place

Great hotel in Thamel

This was our favorite hotel when staying in the Kathmandu area. Our room was large and comfortable with lots of windows and views. The staff was always available and helpful and the breakfast was fantastic with a large spread of croissants, yogurt, fruit and other dishes. The location was good on a small street in Thamel so it was close to everything but also quiet. It was an all around superb experience.

Great pleasant stay in nice boutique hotel!

Great hotel, the staff are very friendly and eager to help and please their guests. The rooms are excelent with decent Wifi. It definitely has a Boitiuqe feel, not in your typical chain hotel. Great breakfast over all. Really good location in Thamel, walkalbe distance around town for shopping, ATM, pharmacy, restaurants, supermarket ala Nepal etc.

Two things to improve:
1. Didn't make our rooms daily as advertised even though I stayed for a total of 6 days in 2 different stays, even though I did request it and left a door sign for such purpose.
2. Had 2 boxed breakfast for take away. One was really bad and the other one was Ok.

Overall great stay, very well priced for the location and amenities. Would recomend!

Perfect lodging for reasonable price! Enjoyed!

After considering many options to stay in KTM, my choice fell on this hotel for its traditional style and special ambience. And I didn't regret! Everything was as described, even better! Hotel owner contacted me after booking and re-confirmed my booking via email, answered my questions. I booked standard and deluxe rooms for my group of hikers. All rooms are nice, but deluxe rooms are more spacious. A big plus that this hotel has a really good variety of food for breakfast, incl fruits, pancakes, tibetan bread, omelettes etc etc. Very helpful, polite and friendly personnel. Location was great too, it's in the heart of Thamel, touristy area, close to restaurants and shops, but located on the small quite street and you never hear the noise of traffic. We also enjoyed drinking tea on the panoramic roof terrace. I would definitely stay here again for my next trip to Nepal and recommend to everyone. Dont' hesitate, this is really great place to stay.

PS: Before booking I was concerned about several reviews about construction site near hotel. Don't worry about this at all. It never caused any noise, and the road near hotel is paved now so the access is easy and clean.

Stylish and friendly home away from home

We had an great experience with Kasthamandap Boutique hotel.

It was our first time in Nepal but Gyanendra and his team always made us feel that it was our home away from home. After our 10 hour flight the team picked us up from the airport to make it fuss free arrival to our hotel making sure we arrived safe and sound in our new city.

The team were always friendly and welcoming everyday we were there and we stayed for 14 days through a busy festival season so we should know. Our rooms were always clean with fresh new towels and water and the beds were so comfy.

Breakfast time is always a treat to be surrounded by the most beautiful relaxing decor whilst eating warm Tibetan breads, hot homemade porridge and fresh juicy watermelon. Oh how I miss those mornings now.
The hotel is situated on a quieter street in Thamel but still so close to fabulous restaurants, tourist centres, money exchange places, local cold store, warm tea shops and great market shops to pick up the family some gifts.
I would totally recommend this hotel to friends and family and I'll definitely be back to stay here.

Small but cosy hotel

Everything is not good there. They need to be more responsive in written communication. I contacted them for my travel plans one week before but even after three phone call and reminders they didn't respond. But every time one person will say I will send mail today. This is unacceptable. Hotel is a service and much beyond just rooms.

Nice hotel, great staff, terrible construction

Very nice room, comfortable bed and very good breakfast. The staff at this hotel were so friendly and pleasant and they could not do enough to help you.

However there were a few issues: Right outside the hotel there is a construction site and the street right outside the door of the hotel, as a consequence, is absolutely filthy (even by Kathmandu standards). Some days leaving the hotel, you would have to get ankle deep in mud in order to get on to the main streets. If I could post a picture to show how bad and dirty it was I would. I can't understand why there was no advance warning from the hotel about the construction and the state of the street as it would definitely have impacted my choice to stay in the hotel.

Other issues - it would have been nice if the room had been cleaned during my 3-night stay. Not sure why it wasn't. Also, the toilet bowl in the bathroom (otherwise clean) was stained yellow - seemed a bit strange for a new hotel.

Overall, I would stay here again, but only if I had assurance that the construction was finished and the street had been cleaned up. I've stayed in other hotels in Thamel that aren't as nice or comfortable as Kasthamandap (and where the staff are not as nice as the wonderful team at Kasthamandap) but I would pick the other hotels over Kasthamandap simply because of the state of the street outside.
