Good choice in Thamel
Good location near a supermarket and it only takes 30min to go to Durbar square by walk. You can do sightseeing as well as shopping between hotel to durbar square. Besides, the the room is clean and acceptable, the breakfast is good. I’m willing to stay the same hotel next time

Good price for a great location
The hotel itself is basic, but for the price and location I've zero complaints. The staff at the front desk are competent and friendly, I enjoyed breakfast whenever I had it and the daily yoga classes (that I always slept through - not a morning person) were well received by my more flexible associates. There is a supermarket one minute away and Kathmandu Guesthouse, a very famous landmark, is right next door, so if you find yourself lost you'll have no issue getting directions.

Nice Breakfast
We had a good stay for two nights before we went to the airport. It wasn't crowded so we got good service. The room was clean, the check in went quickly and I had no problems. I was happy to have hot water in the shower and sink. The Hotel has a nice courtyard and is down a side street off the main drag in the center of Thamal. There was music at a nearby restaurant but I got to sleep fine. The breakfast was made to order and a great way to start the day.

Nice staff, but grungy, dark, dirty.
The staff was friendly and helpful, truly, but the facilities left much to be desired. The toilet seat on the shared toilet was busted off and lying on the ground for the whole two days I was there, the carpets were stained, the blankets were too thin for the chilly night air, not all the light bulbs worked in my room--and those which did were such low wattage that it was hard even to read--the t.v. did not work, the bed was hard, and the electrical outlets were so loose that I had to hold my phone charger in place in order for it to work. Such a great concept--a yoga hotel!--but very in need of repairs and renovations.

Nice hostel. Great price. Didn’t actually get free breakfast as I thought was indicated on the hotels page but wasn’t a big deal. Free yoga sessions in the mornings though

In the Heart of the Thamel District
Incredible, warm staff in a hotel steps away from the action of Thamel District. Free Yoga classes were one of the highlights of staying in this hotel!

Great value for the price and the location in the middle of Thamel close to all the major shopping and restaurants as well as bars and a local grocery store for all the pre-trekking essentials.

Ideal for backpackers.
Great and friendly staff, they would help you with anything you need. The hotel is ideal for backpackers with strict budget, rooms are not anything super extra (basically just a bed), but you forget about any inconevience after their GREAT breakfast :) The only thing that caused my disappointment were the power sockets working only at night (but this is probably caused by complicated power supplies situation in Nepal).

Decent , basic hotel.
Great location in the center of Thamel.Very basic but good value for the money. If you are a trekker and looking for a transition from the USA standard to Nepal Tea House standard...this is it. You can get it with breakfast included but do not expect it ready before 7 am.

Unbeatable location. Unbeatable. With a great Nepali/Tibetan restaurant just around the corner in the alleyway (not the one right outside the gate). Fantastic service all round from Raju and his team. Insightful yoga lessons free to guests.

Just ok
I checked in at midnight. The room was quite small and linens were quite warn. No towels in the room on arrival. My bathroom window opened into the shared bathroom in the hallway. Consequently, there was noise til 2am and the same large group of travellers were up at 4am...very loud and disruptive for 3 hours. On the bright side, the courtyard is nice for dining and the shrine room for meditation is quite nice. The owner moved me to another hotel down the street (Acme Family Guest House) which was very nice with great staff and food...highly recommend this one. I stayed here for the week and was quite happy!

I would stay here again!
Great place - free yoga in the mornings and meditation Mon, Wed and Fri in the evenings and they are all fantastic. The breakfast was included, which just makes life easier - it's simple, but good. If you stay a few days (first I stayed 4 nights, then went to Namo Buddha and came back for another 5 nights) they remember you quickly, I barely had to say anything at breakfast; they know what I want! The reception (all staff) are really helpful - I got information on taxi rates, they organized a drop off and pick up taxi for me for Namo Buddha - the driver was great, locations of places, and one day internet wasn't working and I had to check email so they let me use their computer. In addition, one night I didn't realize it was so late and ordered dinner, but the kitchen was closed, but the staff still offered to make me a Nepali Thali, which was delicious. The location is good, it's "quiet" for Thamel, probably the quietest you'll get if you want to stay in this busy area, but it pays off because there are great places to eat really close by and/or places for wifi - I am a solo female traveler, so at night this was important and it was great to have that freedom! There are three places you have to eat if you stay here - the Nepali/Tibetan kitchen in the same alley (where are the bikes are parked) and get the Thukpa!, Pumpernickel Bakery and Ork2 Falafel stand! The bed was comfy, wifi is pretty good for Nepal, and hot water and electricity works when you need it.

Better value elsewhere
The positives of the hotel are that it has a meditation room attached to it, and the hotel was kind enough to allow me access to it twice a day. Also, the hotel's location is great - right near the supermarket but away from most noise. Of course live music still filled the night and I had to wear ear plugs, but it wasn't coming from next door. The bed was comfortable. The negatives unfortunately were many more: the yoga teacher was not good. In my ten day stay I saw many people come for one session and never come again. There were lots of leg lifts and sit ups but hardly any yoga poses. Don't come for the yoga. NO HOT WATER after two cloudy days because it's only solar-heated. The breakfast was blah - much better fare to be found at Northfield's. The room was not cleaned once during my stay. Not the sheets, towels, garbage basket, bathroom - nothing. The room continually smelled musty. I had an attached bathroom and through it's window I could hear everything in the common bathroom. Everything. As if it were happening in the room.

Awesome hotel with great terrace
For the same price this is the best hotel I went to in Thamel (I tried 5). Perfectly clean rooms and bathrooms. Good breakfast. But the reason why I'll always come back there is the terrace that is completely unique and convivial. I didn't go to the yoga but I heard only positive reviews about it.

残念な滞在。
バスルーム別朝食付きで800Rほどでセールをしていたのであまり期待はせず予約しました。まず、ホテルの名前が「Hotel Himalaya」と似ているためTaxiの運転手さんが混乱し、なかなか到着しないという問題。「YOGA」をしっかり伝え、地図で確認するべきでした。到着後は優しいスタッフさんがバスルームつきの部屋に変えてくれると持ちかけてきてとても疲れていたのでお願いすると一晩プラス500R とのこと。商売上手です。私以外に宿泊者はいなく、朝食もイマイチ。free yogaはホコリだらけの屋上です。また計画停電中とはいえ、２日目の夜はシャワーのと中で水もお湯も止まるという一大事。残念ですが、オススメできません。

値段にしては・・・
空港へのピックアップを事前に頼んでいましたが、迎えにきてもらえず　ピックアップを待ち空港で1時間ほど待ったのち、自分でタクシーをひろいホテルまで行きました。事前に頼んでいたのだから、きちんとしてほしい。 ヨガを楽しみにしていたのに、ヨガの先生は来ないし、シャワーのお湯も一日目の夜しか出ませんでした。 朝食付きだったのに、1日目に「朝食は別料金」と言われ、他のところに食べに行った後に 「エクスペディアからの予約なので朝食コミでした」と言われました・・・ 次にカトマンズへもどったときは、もちろん他の宿に宿泊しました。

Hotel sencillo ubicado Thamel con personal amable
Me recibieron bien desde el primer momento, me dieron un cuarto sencillo y limpio, con agua caliente, un desayuno básico y la atención de lo más amable...Pasé una semana aqui y el personal se convirtió en mi Familia...En Nepal hay cortes de energía frecuentes y el internet inestable, pero son ajenos al hotel que siempre dispuestos cargaron mis dispositivos en su back up system...Las camas están algo duras pero el corazón es grande!
