The staff was excellent, the food was incredible, and the rooms are a nice safe-haven when you are so far from home. I am so appreciative. Thank you, Hotel Encounter, for taking such great care of me! ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Adrian 15 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Just across the road to from Thamel tourist area this hotel is peaceful with decent sized rooms, hot showers, peaceful courtyard, good breakfasts, espresso style coffees. Staff are helpful & friendly. Stayed here multiple times. April 2023 ##### Adrian Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Saisiri 12 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The General Manager Mr. Mukunda Pokharel will quickly find you a good transport to airport or wherever you want to go in Nepal. The rooms are big by American and Thai standards. Bathrooms are big and clean. Beds are excellent big and firm exactly as we like our beds to be. Staff are super safe, friendly, funny, considerate, cheerful, discreet, helpful, and can get you any service or tour or info you can possibly need. Two big quiet gardens away from exciting busy hustle and bustle of Thamel neighborhood. Rooms are very clean. Staircase is excellent, wide, beautiful, clean all marble stone for easy fast carrying luggage and running to your free breakfast in the garden. The city of Kathmandu is currently doing a lot of road work, construction, city plumbing, so most hotels in the area temporarily (less than 1 minute) have a short blast of black or grey concrete coming from sink tap, toilet, just a few seconds, so don’t panic, it’s just the city water main lines being worked on. Some hotels also have water towers or cisterns atop their roofs to ensure you have lots of water 24/7, so dusty water for a moment might be normal. Clean water eventually comes out, you’ll be OK. Drink bottled water and use that for brushing your teeth and washing your face, you will be OK. Looking forward to our next vacation in Nepal. The cities are glorious fun chaos and dusty good fun: adventure pure and simple. Do try to escape the city for the mountains! Aloha :) Namaste! ##### Saisiri Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 6 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I have stayed here many times and Hotel Encounter always offers me a comfortable place from which to explore Kathmandu with friendliness and excellent service. ##### John Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Graham 4 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice hotel.

The room was fairly basic and could maybe do with a good renovation, but was comfortable and more than adequate for my needs. Overall, an enjoyable stay and very good value. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 3 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities They are very flexible and allow me to stay more time in the property once my flight was in the afternoon.

Restaurant also great food and coffee. ##### Kevin Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ulrike 7 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Central and quiet Even if the hotel is situated at the north end of Thamel it is very quiet during the night. The manager and the staff are very very friendly and helpful. I recommend to take a room with gardenview. It's spacious and sunny in the morning. The bed was very comfortable and the shower worked very well. For breakfast you can choose a big variety from the menu and I was happy to find the Porridge there. ##### Ulrike Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2019
