Really nice hotel, fantastic staff. Very clean. Excellent breakfast with a good range of options. Good location and generally quiet at night. The rooms are quite light at night - there’s an odd “night light” that you can’t turn off (we covered it in pillows, it’s just by the door at ground level). You also aren’t allowed to bring in any food or drink from outside at all (like nothing) or the “hotel will fine you” which seemed a bit extreme. They do provide 2 bottles of water a day though which was good. Would happily stay again

A hotel with an elevator and a lovely restaurant/bar and dipping pool the size of a hot tub on the roof top. I also saw a sauna and steam room but I didn’t try them out. There was a very small gym but it was located by the rooftop restaurant and elevator and had a glass wall that really gave the impression of very much being on display while working out.

The food I did try at the restaurant and through room service was good, as well as the daily breakfast.

Hotel is a little hard to find as it is down a small side street but the reception was always efficient kind and helpful with any question I asked and ordered a taxi for me and the driver was great as well.

Really enjoyed my stay at Arushi. The hotel is in a nice area, on a side street, but is a short walk away from a lot of restaurants/shops. Very nice property. It can get a bit noisy with construction next door, but it was a pleasant stay. Negotiate the car price if booking through the hotel. Would stay here again.

Excellent hotel, perfect location for everything in Thamel, the Security card gave us peace of mind, and the front desk was helpful for everything we needed. They truly went above and beyond to help make out stay in Kathmandu perfect. If I ever return to Kathmandu, I would not consider any other hotel. The food was excellent and hygienic, the Marpha Bar was great, the breakfast each morning had different offerings of Delicious food.

Incredible hotel in Thamel. Very clean, very nice and modern but with a local feel and aesthetic. The front desk is very helpful, better than most Western hotels in that regard. Coming to a country where I do not speak the language, they were able to communicate vet well in English, they helped with my bookings, they took care of our luggage while we were on a Trek, the room service, the breakfast buffet, and the Marpha bar were all excellent. They have security out front that made us feel safe, and the security guard was friendly and greeted us daily. Nothing bad to say about this hotel, would recommend to anyone.

This was down an alley and about 3-4 min walk to Thamel. However if you are looking for a restaurant around the corner, it doesn't exist. Dont do your dry cleaning.
My clothes came back dingy and dirtier looking

This hotel was so nice. The bed was comfortable and the linens were nice. Plenty of hot water. It’s down an alleyway, which makes it quieter, but it’s still within walking distance to many restaurants.

Top notch room with most pleasant ambience and the breakfast was five star grade. It’s tucked in from the busy street and the staff service was excellent.

I liked how it was tucked away from the main streets. Very convenient to a lot of stores and restaurants but spent most time in the roof top bar and restaurant in the hotel because food was good, reasonably priced and you get some views of the city and mountains. I would stay here again

The property was the perfect start and end to our trekking adventure in Nepal. It was close to our tour company operator, right in the heart of the tourist area so we could walk to tourist and trekking shops and also grab a bite to eat. The hotel was modern, clean and with a beautiful character and feel. Really happy with our choice here and thanks to the staff at Arushi who made us feel very welcome...
