Breakfast was excellent.
Got tired of the same music over and over at breakfast.
4.1
Great location close to the action of Thamel but away from the busy road.
Lovely garden and roof top terrace with great city views to relax in.
Nice rooms.
Free drinking water provided with a refill station available.
Food very good.
Very good massages available at the onsite spa.
Professional luggage storage provided free of charge.
My room was on the first floor above the kitchen/restaurant. The noise from people cleaning up in the kitchen continued until about 11.30pm and carried up the stairs - so it was very loud in my room. Also there were people talking very very loudly in the reception area pretty much all night and this again was very noisy in my room and stopped me sleeping - I can only assume that this was members of staff, but I can’t be sure.

I usually stay at Hotel Moonlight, where the warm and friendly staff make every visit a pleasure. The front desk team is incredibly helpful, always ready to assist with any needs. The restaurant is attentive and caters well to guests' preferences. I highly recommend Hotel Moonlight for its excellent service and welcoming atmosphere.

Nothing was appreciable. Worst service and hospitality ever met internationally

The hotel is located at the fringe of the Thamel shopping area (a small alleyway will take you to the end of Z street). The area where the hotel is located is quiet at night and one can get a decent sleep. It has a roof top garden for a reasonable view of the city. The breakfast spread is quite generous and the quality of the food is good.
4.1
The massages were superb. Choice of breakfast varied and reasonable. Rooms were clean and pleasant.
What I disliked was the Hindu prayer music throughout my time having breakfast. I shouldn't have to listen to it whilst having breakfast and there is a wide range of Nepalese music they could quite easily put on.
I was shocked that the taxi driver from the hotel suggested that I give him a $20 dollar tip for picking me up from the airport.
4.1
Location next to Thamel
Staff failed to pick us up from the airport when arriving when the free transfer was included in the booking
4.1
The location is very good, close to the Thamel. The tourist bus stop is only a 5 mins walk. The breakfast (6:30-10:00) was amazing, a lot of different local and fresh cake, fruit, salty and sweet food. The garden and the rooftop is perfect for the breakfast with an amazing view. We can checked in earlier than the scheduled time, special thanks for that.
The recommended taxi price was double than the normal price, when we asked some help to organise a trip. The free airport shuttle is a good thing, but if you ask tip for it, its not free.
4.1
The location was great. Close to the shopping area, restaurants, bar, etc. The hotel was neat and had a nice garden. The food was great.
Poor pick up arrangements from the airport.

Good location, and a very good breakfast. Nice rooftop, tho there is nothing but a couple of chairs. Simple rooms.

Lovely garden to sit out in for breakfast. Great views over the city from small lounge area on floor 6 (the floor my room was on). Relaxed there a couple of times with a cup of tea.

Moonlight is on a great location. The dining and bar facilities are beautifully kept and the place a cheerful, busy but relaxed vibe. This is the second time we have there and will again if we return to Kathmandu.

4.1
We stayed for five + nights at this hotel. It is one of the cleanest nicest hotels we have stayed in India or Nepal.
The rooms are cleaned every day and the bottled water left daily is very convenient and helpful. Wi-Fi also works well
Complimentary personal care kit in the bathroom also. Air conditioning and shower also work well and the water pressure is good. Laundry service available. As is a local guide map
Breakfast includes cereals, fruit, bread, pastries, coffee, tea and national breakfast dishes also freshly made omelette of your choice. Staff in the breakfast room are very attentive and it’s well run.
They have local beer on tap and a good dinner menu.
Location is ideal for the markets and restaurants of Thamel and is walking distance of Durban square. Taxis are available outside the front door and the concierge will help too.
Have to make a special mention for the reception staff all speaking good English, accommodating , pleasant and willing to help.
Especially Namgayl, Bari khanate,Arbin and Putnam and Kristila. Hope I’ve spelt the names right!.
Well done to the manager in choosing his staff wisely.
A small point, although the rooms were cleaned daily the floor was only swept which resulted in grubby feet/socks if the complimentary sliders were not worn

Location
Check out was bad receptionist
4.1
The room was good but after changing twice. The ones with twin beds and balcony are good but they were not offered inititally even though I had upgraded and paid additional amount. Eventually got one. Breakfast was good too and wholesome with varied items. The hotel is basically for tourists/back packers who typically stay for a night or two and move out to other locations. For them all facilities and amenities are available.
The reception did not offer the room initially booked (upgraded). Only after protest the chosen room was provided the next day. The hotel should follow the exact configuration for which the room was booked and paid for. The hotel rooms even though well managed lacked study table for working executives. One had to move aside coffee and Tea sachets, water bottles and kettle to create space for laptop connection. The location of hotel is good for tourists/back packers who do not know the city and using the hotel as a transit point for onward movement to other tourist destinations or those who are happy to be in the vicinity of Thamel area. The location is not suitable for executives or people with work agenda in the city. The location is rather remote even though Kathmandu is a small city and one has to navigate traffic jams to reach there. Those who know the city will find the location inconvenient (I am one who knows the city well having stayed here for a number of years)

The staff were always at hand to assist with any request.
4.1
staff, restaurant, overall experience was good
there was power cut in the night multiple times so it was really disturbing as ac was making noises
4.1
Hotel has a big rooftop where one can enjoy amazing views of Kathmandu. Buffee breakfast is delicious.
Not the absolute best location but good enough.
4.1
The hotel breakfast was a nice, changing mix of foods during the days I stayed there. However, the hot buffet food was mostly not hot as intended, and often times less than warm. This is a real hygiene and bacteria risk but could be easily managed if each bay Marie/hotboxes had the small flame unit under each box checked often during each breakfast to ensure it stays alight to keep the food warm. If it goes out the food cools, is less than ideal and a health risk. The last thing anyone wants is to not enjoy the nice food, or to become sick because it was left to go cool.
4.1
Great customer services. Beautiful garden, amazing room. I will.definitely stay here again and again :)
