Heater had issues, make sure to book the cheaper rooms as the upgraded ones have insane amounts of noise, you will not sleep. Staff was good if not super informed. Breakfast was not good from ala carte. Location was very good.

Clean and comfortable

Stay was pleasant. Chose the hotel for the price and also because I was staying here for an upcoming group tour.
Main thing that let the hotel down was trying to organise pick up from the airport. Emailed at least 3 times with no response (via hotels.com and also through their email).

The location is a bit \"too good\" meaning that you're so center to the action that the bar across the alley's loud live music will keep you up until much later than you desire. Construction noise will wake you up much earlier than you plan. I stayed at a different hotel, just 5 mins walk around the corner and got much better sleep as it wasn't so central to the noisy rooftop bars that will keep you awake at night.

Some of the electrical outlets in the room did not work and the hot water was hit or miss. There is a same day laundry service listed on their laundry cards, but it seems that they are not able to provide laundry back on the same day. However, the property was quite lovely; the rooms were quaint, but pleasant, and the staff was very friendly.

Location perfect for what we needed.

We ended up staying at Hotel Marshyangdi for a few more days than intended (due to our trek to base camp being delayed). I have to stay the rooms all had pros and cons, for instance, one the air conditioning did not work very well/strong, one the shower would never get hot, one you would hear construction very early in the morning (half the building has construction going on right now) to be aware of. The front desk ladies were super friendly and helpful (charging my phone when we were waiting in lobby) and helping us with safety deposit box and ordering us a cab for the airport. Wifi was spotty at best (especially in the rooms).

Best part of the hotel was the location, right in the heart of the walking shopping district.

Food for dinner was great (tika masala in particular when I arrived I got room service as I was wiped, but pricey in comparison to surrounding areas). Buffet diversity definitely depended on the day, 1 out of 3 days was barely inedible. But, the other 2 were mediocre. Unlikely we would stay at the same hotel again. But, we would rate it a 3 to 3/5 rating.

I was given a standard room which was very small, had no clothes closet and drawers for putting away my clothes, and had a very basic bathroom. The food was mediocre as usual and the staff were very nice and helpful. This is a pretty good tourist hotel for short stays and not appropriate for business people on longer stays.

Unpretentious and comfortable.

I wanted a comfy but not indulgent hotel for just one person for two nights in Thamel on a working trip and at a reasonable price. HM has a quite Indian feel in decor, guests etc but as a non-Indian I felt quite comfortable. The outdoor cafe has a nice feel, but the breakfast menu is limited .

Ok place. No spa services and awful wifi

The hotel is a bit of a disappointment considering the price in this area. It's dated and tired with service to fit. Despite advertising 'Spa services' there is definitely no spa at the hotel - only a completely separate spa around the corner that they can recommend to you. The wifi is practically non-existent throughout much of the hotel and painfully slow with patchy connectivity where you can even connect at all.
Breakfast is alright, not a great variety and the food is pretty stodgy. Altogether, not the best experience but could be worse.

Reasonable stay. Could do better for the money.

The hotel is ok. Comparatively quite good in relation to other accommodation in the area. Given where you are, it's alright but probably not worth the price. The staff are pleasant enough and can be of assistance without being all that attentive or useful really. Be aware that the wifi is terrible - very slow and cuts out a lot forcing you to keep logging back in, though after a while you realize you're better off giving up and using the free wifi at one of the many restaurants nearby which have an infinitely quicker and more reliable connection.

Should I stay or should I go

We have been in Nepal for a week and this is the second hotel we stayed in Kathmandu. Wanting a different location we chose Marshyangdi in Thamel because of the local culture, food and nearby shopping. First impression when we arrived the facade gave the hotel a modern and upgraded look. But once inside it was a different story altogether. It was like stepping back in time to the 60's. The interior needs an entire revamp and upgrading to the extent a need to be pulled down and rebuilt. It got worse once we got into our Junior Suite which cost us around USD$50/room night. Don't let the pictures from the hotel fool you or you will be disappointed. See my actual pictures. Bathtub had so many patches on it that we were wondering who would ever use it. The toilet seat was so small that it did not cover the base fully. Behind the shower area is a big translucent window that when we showered we had to turn the lights out otherwise the occupants in the next building can see everything. Bath towels that smell like mothballs and when wiping dry loose cotton balls can be found on the skin. Pigeons making a ruckus outside the windows. There's more but I'll stop here. Rooms do not come with hair dryers and when we asked for one they replied all loaned out. We actually had to turn on the heater as external cold air leaks in. Breakfast spread was the usual but OK. WiFi stable but when we first signed in message said too many users already on and to try again later. Cheap but never again.

worth a try

Overall, it is a pleasant stay. The staff are very nice and willing to help , though some are not very experienced. The experienced staff could really make the stay more comfortable and effective in many ways. The ambience is very cosy and the yard with a bonfire in certain nights do make a real difference in a cold winter night. The computer doesn't function very well. The restaurant is good enough. There is a spirit in the whole team of staff!!

Comfortable stay at Kathmandu !

The hotel was moderately good. The room was comfortable. One of the room didn't have its intercom working, but staffs were good and while asked to change our room, we have been given another choice. Restaurant was ok.

Recommend this hotel for a short stay at Thamel.

Nothing to complain about here!

We stayed here for a couple of nights in a double room.
The room was big and comfortable and clean but unfortunately looked out onto a brick wall.
The staff were not overly friendly and the power wasn't fully working for most of the stay.
Overall a good hotel in a great location at the less busy end of Thamel.

Location was good

The standard room my first night was not to my standards. I asked to upgrade upon arrival when they put me on the first floor in the standard room because of the street noise and it was freezing at 8pm last week of feb. They accommodated my request and for 12 dollars extra put me in the newer wing. Much warmer. Shower didn't drain well and I had to adjust my routine to suit the power cuts that occurred twice daily to blow dry my hair. Breakfast was good and was different each day. Location and security were both great and as a single female traveller I would go back to the deluxe rooms. Free wifi in lobby was all I needed and the airport pickup is a must and Hair dryer was available at front desk. I hope their renovations will be done when I return but I got use to the mid day noise and the tv worked with 4 good English movie channels. :) great shopping to be had on Thamel street. Be sure to bargain and have a safe trip!

Great for transit

I've stayed at this hotel serveral times and the people are wonderful. The restaurant also has good service and food. My room was in the older wing of the hotel so paint was peeling, there was mold in the bathroom, and the A/C was ancient. For my transit purposes, it worked just fine, and being in the tourist area makes me feel safe and provides great shopping and restaurant options.

タメルの中にある便利なホテル

お土産を沢山頼まれていたので、その点ホテルのロケーションはとても良かったです。
食事も朝、昼、夜とも美味しく頂きました。
改装中だったので、多少の不便や不快感はありましたが、スタッフの方達は感じがよく、次回も滞在したいと思いました。
ただ、シャワー水質は悪いです。カトマンズどのホテルでもある問題だと思います。水質に敏感な方はもうひとつハイグレードなホテルにされた方がよいかもしれません。
