Location: The hotel is in a great location and considering that Thamel is very loud, my room (203) was pretty quiet even at 10pm or 11pm when it is really noisy outside. You walk outside and you have plenty selection of restaurants, trekking gear stores, souvenir shops and more. Staff: The staff was amazing, everyone is very, very friendly. While friendliness is a feature of Nepalese people, the hotel staff was always going the extra mile. They helped me shipping extra luggage, they booked tours and made phone calls on my behalf; these were all activities outside of regular hotel responsibilities. Everyone was great but special recognition goes to Admita ,Dharmendra, Anjali and Abhi as these where the staff members that I worked with closer during my 6 day stay.

Nothing really… everything was spectacular.

Breakfast recommendation On our first morning, unsure what to order off the breakfast menu, our waiter recommended the tofu scramble with spinach due to us wanting to remain vegetarian for a trip to the Pashupatinath Temple. The tofu scramble with spinach was amazing along with the locally prepared Nepali tea. The great thing this hotel offers is the extension of breakfast hours till 12pm to cater to the various activities of the guests. Overall This delightful hotel is centrally located to a number of tourist attractions. It takes approximately 30 mins by car depending on traffic to reach most of the notable destinations. It is situated alongside a bustling road, filled with handicraft and apparel stores as well as good restaurants within walking distance. The hotel's courtyard is serene and peaceful. A great place to have a quiet cup of tea to warm up or enjoy a selection from their menu. The interior décor is extremely beautiful, appears to be aligned with the Tibetan culture and is also filled with beautiful Thangka paintings. For those are who are art lovers, this hotel also holds an in-house art exhibition from time to time. The staff are an asset of this hotel, always going above and beyond to cater to our needs and requests. They do it with such sincerity, grace and cheerfulness. Abhi, Anjali, Shesheer and Rosie – these wonderful people we will never forget. We were always touched by their service spirit and kind gestures. When we were leaving back to home, Rosie came running to our car with 2 beautiful orange Tibetan Khadas in her hands. She sought permission to place it on us and said “Maam, this is for your safe journey back home”. I was truly moved by that gesture. The Dalai La Hotel, its most gracious, exuberant and humble owner who made certain things happen for us and the wonderful staff will always remain special in our hearts. We are filled with nothing but gratitude and definitely look forward to coming back to The Dalai La.

This place is an oasis of serenity right in the heart of bustling Thamel, just a short walk from Durbar Square and a quick taxi ride from the main attractions in town. Large rooms, nice decor, comfortable bedding. Yet the main asset of Dalai-la is its staff, always smiling and willing to go the extra mile to accommodate all our needs. We are particularly thankful to Abhi, who helped us in organising our trip during busy festival times. Excellent value for money, highly recommended.

It is a one of its kind hotel. Probably unlike any I have ever stayed in. The ambience of the place just lifts your spirits. It keeps you wondering how did someone come up with this place. And to top it off, the staff is so friendly and helpful, service is exceptional, food is good. They arranged for our daily outings and provided us any detail we asked for. Our stay here really completed our Kathmandu vacation. We are a family of 4 and stayed in their family room with two double beds. The room is called 'Manaslu'.

Such a gem of a property in Thamel. A special shout out to Binod who was exceptionally caring and attentive. Could not have asked for a nicer start to the morning than his friendly professionalism at the breakfast table! I have been coming to Nepal every year since 2006 (except 2 years due to covid restrictions) and have stayed in dozens of hotels in Kathmandu over the years but Dalai La just stands out in every way. It will be my go-to spot for both myself and my groups for future trips. Thank you to the staff for making every stay so pleasant.

There is nothing to complain about here.

This hotel is a super address. The atmohsphere and the staff were really welcoming and friendly, the breakfast very tasty. Also the location directly in the heart of Thamel is excellent. I will be happy to come again :-)

I think that the cab prices are way to overpriced, especially with regard to local offers. However, the service is really good :-)

I chose the property because of its location. I was blown away by how comfortable the place was and how friendly the staff and the ownership were. They even offered to upgrade me to the executive suite from my junior suite when the owner found out that my wife and daughter were joining me after my trek.

Exceptionally friendly staff who go out of their way to assist and ensure a comfortable and memorable stay. Very well located, in Thamal, to enable walking around for shopping, to restaurants and Kathmandu Durbar Square etc. The breakfast menu is very extensive, and the food is delicious. Highly recommend staying at Dalai-La.
