Kailash Boutique Hotel is right in the heart of China Town in Thamel. I'd recommend this property for anyone who wants to be in walking distance of many of the main attractions of Kathmandu, while still retaining Western comforts like running hot water, a waterfall shower, a hair dryer, high speed wifi, multiple charging ports, and an elevator to reach higher levels. Because I booked within 24 hours of when I would need to leave, an airport shuttle was not available for my 5:30 AM departure. Even so, the desk staff was very helpful in providing me with a small takeaway breakfast (a banana, muffin, hard boiled egg, and juice) and ordering me a taxi from inDrive, the local Uber.

Typical of many hotels in Kathmandu - noise is inevitable. I was on the fourth floor and protected from most street noise, but could hear the fellow guests on my floor slam their doors and speak at the top of their lungs. I finally asked the guests to please be mindful, which they did. Upon explaining the situation to reception in the morning, they also informed me that I could have called them and they would have helped.

I had one of the best hotel stays of my life at Kailash. The rooms were spacious, aesthetically pleasing, impeccably clean, and exceptionally comfortable for a prolonged stay like ours (10 days on a business trip). The breakfast was delicious and diverse, as was the hotel’s restaurant — which I highly recommend you try! But what truly made this stay exceptional was the staff. The kindness and attentiveness of the team at Kailash were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. They consistently anticipated our needs and provided whatever resources we required. For example, one morning, we were too tired to wake up and overslept through breakfast. The staff thoughtfully called to let us know they were waiting for us to come and enjoy our meal — a gesture that truly amazed me. Special thanks to Dol, the manager, who ensured everything ran smoothly. I give my stay a 10/10, and the next time I’m in Kathmandu, I will definitely stay here again!

Everything was perfect, I have nothing to complain about.

A freshly renovated, beautifully appointed, clean and spacious hotel, with very, very helpful and kind staff! I enjoyed every bit of my six-day stay there and would highly recommend it to everyone looking for a bit of comfort and friendly atmosphere whilst exploring Kathmandu. The manager kindly provided an upgrade (a family room with a balcony) and was on hand for a range of useful tips and suggestions. Everyone here is so professional and knowledgeable. The location, right in the heart of Thamel but not loud or busy at all, is great, too. Would certainly come again!

Everything was great!

it is a new hotel and you will find everything you need for a reasonable price very clean very nice and competent service high level of hygiene very delicious dishes in the restaurant rich breakfasts the manager will arrange trekking and various trips for you they will arrange a taxi or tickets for you If you need anything, ask and they will definitely help you very nice, cozy and family-like we felt really taken care of I recommend it we will definitely return to this hotel :)

We recently had the pleasure of staying at KAILASH BOUTIQUE HOTEL in Thamel, Kathmandu, a true gem nestled in a vibrant location. From the clean, comfortable rooms to the exquisite cuisine (better than the local restaurants we visited!), every aspect of our stay was designed for relaxation and delight. However, what truly set our experience apart was the extraordinary presence of the manager, Dol. From the moment we arrived, Dol exuded warmth, kindness, and an unmistakable passion for hospitality. With decades of experience as a trekking guide, his vast knowledge and resourcefulness was evident in every interaction. His mastery of professionalism, practicality, good sense and great humour is rare even in 5-star deluxe hotel managers. There are many excellent hotel managers out there, but Dol goes above and beyond what can be learned. He welcomed us not merely as guests, but as friends, and he made us feel like our comfort and well-being were among his highest priorities. His genuine care helped make our our stay a memorable journey of discovery and delight. Dol's wisdom and generous spirit provided not only exceptional service but also an inspiring reminder of the beauty of human connection. The glowing reviews found on this and other popular travel sites are no coincidence, yet they hardly capture the depth of his wonderful character and the positive impact he has on his guests. In every way imaginable, Dol and KAILASH BOUTIQUE HOTEL exemplify the pinnacle of hospitality. Our experience here was a masterclass in excellence, and we depart with memories that will be cherished for a lifetime. We wholeheartedly recommend KAILASH BOUTIQUE HOTEL to anyone seeking an unforgettable escape, and we extend our deepest gratitude to Dol for making our stay not just enjoyable, but profoundly moving. Thank you once again, Dol, with the fulness of our hearts.

We stayed at Kailash Boutique Hotel for 6 nights and had a great experience. The location is quiet but close to Thamel, which was perfect for us. The staff was friendly, helpful, and always available. The room was clean, spacious, and well-maintained. Service was excellent throughout our stay. Breakfast is served at the property—great buffet with good variety. Very good value for a 3-star hotel. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kathmandu!

The roads leading to the hotel are quite narrow, which can be a bit tricky for larger vehicles like a minibus. However, with some care and patience, our driver was able to handle it without any issues. It’s a small price to pay for such a quiet and central location.

We stayed at Kailash Boutique Hotel between January 18-26, 2025. First of all, I would like to state that the location of the hotel is very central. It is in the center of Thamel, a few steps away from very nice restaurants and shops. The street where the hotel is located is very quiet and calm. The hotel was brand new, spotlessly clean and safe. We felt at home. Upon our request, they upgraded us to a large family room with a view on the upper floors. Our room was cleaned every day, our water, tea and coffee, bed linen and towels were changed. The wifi never went out, we connected easily. There was hot water in the bathroom 24/7. The WC and bathroom were incredibly clean. Every morning, we had a very nice breakfast that included both traditional Nepalese dishes and all the elements of a western style breakfast. The young staff at the restaurant were extremely polite and attentive. They served us Masala Tea and Masala Omelette every morning. We are grateful to them. I would like to thank them very much for their friendliness. From the moment we entered the hotel, Manager Dol took great care of us. He arranged a free taxi from the airport to the hotel upon our arrival. On our return, he saw us off to the door and gave my wife and I two very valuable traditional Nepalese gifts. I would like to thank Dol, our friends at the restaurant and all the other Kailash Boutique Hotel staff. We really felt at home for 8 days. If you are going to stay in Kathmandu, Kailash Boutiqe Hotel is a great option. After your stay, you will understand why the hotel has a score of 10 out of 10. Thank you again. All the best. İlter

Hotel is located at prime location, Property is excellent in terms of cleanliness and ascetic wise. Special mention to hotel manager Mr Dol, who was very supportive in guiding us and arranging cab for our local visit

Kailash Boutique Hotel exceeded my expectations! The room was impeccably clean and beautifully designed, blending traditional Nepali aesthetics with modern comfort. The staff was incredibly warm, attentive, and always eager to assist with a smile. The location was perfect—peaceful yet conveniently close to all major attractions. The breakfast served was delicious, with a great variety of options. I truly felt pampered during my stay.

There’s not much to dislike, but I would have appreciated a more extensive dinner menu. That said, the nearby dining options more than made up for it.

I’ve stayed 3 nights in the Kailash Boutique Hotel and can fully recommend it. Starting with Dol, the hotel manager, up to the receptionist and security boy - everyone was so friendly and helpful. Dol helped me to manage my trip into the Himalayan what was super helpful - and for me important: I’ve never felt he’s doing it on purpose to sell something in addition or convince me for something I’m not interested in. Also to store my luggage in the hotel during my adventure was not a problem at all. 10/10! Last but not least the room was clean and comfortable. Location is super quite even in the heart of Thamel.
