I loved staying in the quiet, spacious, clean rooms overlooking the courtyard. The hotel staff were exceptional--helpful in every way. And I thought the decor was beautiful. The food in the hotel restaurant was delicious--and the views from the rooftop were outstanding. I will return the next time I am in Kathmandu.

The hotel is very convenient to the Buddha Stupa, a major attraction in Kathmandu so our tour group stayed there on our one night ending the tour. My partner and I stayed an extra night to tour around Kathmandu. It was not the most convenient location for general tourism. It met our needs, but I would choose a more central spot if staying a few days.

Great hotel about 5 minutes walking from Boudhanath Stupa. Rooms were large, clean, and comfortable. The fresh fruit waiting in my room after a long flight was an especially nice touch. The restaurant overlooks the stupa and has one of the best views in the city. The staff was very friendly and accommodating towards all of my requests. They were even happy to store my bags for two weeks while I was trekking in the Khumbu region. I look forward to staying here again during my next visit to Kathmandu.

Favorite Hotel in Nepal
I had the most wonderful 3-day stay at Hotel Tibet International in early January of 2020. The room and bathroom were exceptionally clean, the bed was super comfortable and water for the tub was hot. The staff are lovely and always helpful and the food is delicious! I stayed in 4 hotels across Nepal during a month’s visit and Hotel Tibet International was my favorite by far!

Fantastic Hotel!
After traveling for a week in Asia, I knew I would need a break from some of the more rustic conditions I had been staying in. Hotel Tibet provided the perfect respite. Kathmandu is overwhelming & the beautiful hotel provided a comforting place to stay. The room was gorgeous & hotel staff were very helpful answering any questions I had about the area. I ate in the hotel restaurant for dinner because of the extensive choices. The hotel breakfast was also delicious with a wide range of choices from hard boiled eggs, omelets, cereal, yogurt, many hot dishes & fresh fruit. The hotel is within walking distance to the Boudha Stupa which I visited several times. I highly recommend this hotel & would definitely stay there again.

The location was amazing. The view of the Boudha Stupa was great from the rooftop restaurant. (The restaurant also served great breakfast.) The room was clean, the shower had hot water (which is NOT the case at all hotels in Nepal). They even gave me a Tibetan white scarf when I left. Very happy with my choice. STAY HERE instead of a hotel in Thamel. You won't regret it.

Big hotel with lots of amenities
We spent a day and a half in Kathmandu after our trek before flying out. Hotel Tibet International was a convenient place to park for that time. The rooms were comfortable, had lots of public spaces to read in, the best wifi we had during our whole time in Nepal, and had a restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks. It was across the street from Boudhanath, so we stopped by both days for sightseeing and souvenir shopping.

Still a pleasure
This was our second time - the first was pre-earthquake. It is in the process of repair and some of the earlier functions (e.g. rooftop restaurant) are yet to be restored. Despite this, the room was sensational, the service top-class and the restaurant still hard to beat. The local environs are diabolical but its proximity to the Boudha stupa was appreciated. Walking into our room after the ongoing chaos of Kathmandu was a major plus.

Hotel Tibet International - First Class!
I was treated with incredible hospitality from the moment I arrived at Hotel Tibet International to the moment I left. The location was perfect, being a short walking distance to Boudhanath Stupa and a taxi ride from the countless other World Heritage Sites in and around Kathmandu. As a coeliac, my dietary requirements were met too, with the hotel offering delicious food from worldly cuisines. All of the staff were remarkably friendly, always willing to help and ask about your day. From someone who has travelled quite extensively, Hotel Tibet International comes highly recommended. Go and check it out!

Nepali Dream
After three weeks in Nepal, we knew we had a long flight home to Sri Lanka ahead of us! We found Hotel Tibet to be a beautiful oasis, at least a 30 minute drive to the airport, but less than 2 miles away from the airport. Traffic in Kathmandu is definitely a challenge! The staff was gracious and helpful. Not only did they allow us to check in early, they upgraded us to a beautiful suite where we had a comfortable bed that felt like a dream & lovely accommodations. We could take a hot shower/bath! We finally had excellent internet access to touch base with our family! We ate lunch and dinner at the restaurant. The menu had great variety at reasonable cost. Everything we had was delicious and the service was great! The views of the city from the terrace on the 6th floor were amazing. The only thing we missed was having a sunset view over the city since that part of the property is under renovation. We were grateful for a night of good rest & opportunity to repack as we prepared to leave. We hope to return and stay at Hotel Tibet again!

Very good hotel, great location, affordable price.
Was just a little disappointed as I had requested for the 3 rooms booked to be next to one another which was confirmed but when I checked in 2 of the rooms were separated. One of the rooms had some bad smell coming from the bathroom. Something that impressed was one of the rooms had a late check out of the last day and the additional charge was very kindly waived. Other than that, was happy with the service and amenities. The cafe served pastries and very good coffee, only a bit expensive.

The hotel is a bit overpriced for Kathmandu. Other properties at that price point are significantly superior and comparable properties are much less costly. This is much closer to a three rather than 5 star property. The desk staff are impeccably kind and courteous.

Lovely hotel; great place
Hotel Tibet International was a great place to stay. It's in Boudha, the 'little Tibet' of Kathmandu, and is appointed in Tibetan furnishings. The rooms are clean, attractive, with aircon/heating as well as open-able windows, and gave us a great view over Kathmandu, They were also a welcome quiet retreat from the busy streets. Breakfast at the rooftop cafe was a great way to start the day, with a terrific view; good for getting bearings and hearing the early morning chants start at the stupa just down the road! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend it.

The Tibetan-themed décor is absolutely fabulous - amazing details. One can just keep looking to see more and more especially in the lobby.

EXCEPTIONAL Hotel with Outstanding Service
This is the best hotel experience I have ever had. The location is excellent, walking distance to Bhouda Stupa. The hotel staff were absolutely amazing, I have never received service like we received at Hotel Tibet International. The front desk was so helpful in helping us plan activities and went above and beyond with every request we had. The food was amazing, as well as the kitchen staff. They were so attentive and friendly. The hotel is spotless and the decor is unreal. There is so much detail and love that went into this hotel and it is reflected in how you are treated as a guest. We regularly stay at 5 star hotels when travelling and I found this to be my favorite hotel experience. In every way the hotel and staff exceeded my expectations. We had booked a 5 star hotel for half of our trip in Thamel and we cancelled to stay at Hotel Tibet International.

Perfection at Kathmandu
Can't say enough about how fantastic our stay was at Hotel Tibet International. The service is the best we have ever encountered at any hotel anywhere in the world, whether it involved sightseeing arrangements, room service, reception, housekeeping, etc. It was the first time we had left missing the staff of the hotel rather than the comfort of our accommodations (which was also close to perfect). Only minor issue was their wifi coupon system and the reliability of the Internet service, but that is almost neglible compared to all the pros of our stay. Cannot recommend this hotel enough!

Cosy Hotel
This hotel was a far better than the Radisson, which we stayed on the first 2 days of our stay in Kathmandu. The rooms were big and cosy. The location was quite strategic as it was very near to the Boudhanath Stupa. My only flaw about this hotel was the television was not working during my entire stay there. I was annoyed as there was nothing to do once I was back in the room at night. I was also following the news on the recent crash on QZ8501 and could not watch any of the news channel. The wifi was wonky too and if you don't use it continuously it will log off automatically. So that was rather annoying too...to constantly log in ... whenever i wanted to surf the net or msg someone. If you dont need to be connected constantly, then I would recommend this hotel.
