Wonderful stay. Wonderful hotel. I did have to climb a fair number of stairs to reach my room - as it was an eco friendly hotel. But it was a marvelous experience and the hotel staff went out of their way to help out

This hotel is a very charming, boutique hotel, very clean. Close to busy Thamel. if you want some quiet, 15-20 min. walkable to the garden of dreams, take a rickshaw to the Durbar, etc. Very convenient, lots of options to eat, the restaurant in this hotel is wonderful!

This is the perfect hotel for first time visitors to Kathmandu or anyone wanting to stay in Thamel. The city/neighborhood can feel very chaotic at times, and Dalai-La is such a wonderful escape. The courtyard is a perfect place to start the day with the hotel’s amazing breakfast options. The rooms are spacious with modern fixtures. We were given two large bottles of water in the room a day. The staff is simply wonderful! Binod specifically was very friendly and amazingly helpful. He gave us a number recommendations for things to do in and around Kathmandu as well as our next stay in Pokhara. He was also very helpful with the currency exchange. The location of the hotel is perfectly situated in Thamel to allow you to walk to numerous shops and restaurants. I would absolutely stay here again. My dad and I had a wonderful time!

I enjoyed Dalai la's integration and support of local artists. They have set aside part of their dining space as an impromptu gallery, allowing artists to present work and meet visitors and tourists. Dalai La also is part of Nepal 2020 tourisim campaign and had three giant 'Yeti' sculptures on display in their courtyard. Really fun place!

Wonderful hotel. The exterior is especially magnificent. And the hotel is full of world-class artwork by local artists. Restaurant is top shelf. Be sure to try the Nepalese thali. Only small strike against is that the courtyard can get a little loud at night. But this is Thamel. If you are a light sleeper, you will need earplugs at any hotel is this area. 100% recommend staying here.

The hotel is well-situated in the tourist area of Kathmandu. Great customer service and clean room. I would have appreciated a refrigerator in the room, but not a deal breaker. One of the best breakfasts Ive had at a small hotel. Overall a good experience.

I was given room on the 4th floor where there is no lift. It was tough to walk up specially. Room was clean and fairly good size however the hot water in shower was extremely hot I was burnt several times even though it was mixed with maximum cold water. Staffs were friendly and polite and they all speak very good English.

Great location in Thamel and interesting concept and design that are consistent throughout the hotel. Beautiful courtyard, lovely room, a true boutique hotel. Exceptionally good breakfast, as it is ordered from the menu, so everything is fresh, unlike in the buffets of most other hotels in Thamel. Reception staff and assistant staff members were very helpful, but wifi kept cutting off and often you had to wait for service at the restaurant for quite long. They could look into making better use of some of the terraces, putting more table and chairs there etc.

I was instantly charmed by the courtyard of the Dalai-La. It was like a little oasis within the hustle and bustle of the touristy Thamel district. The location was convenient for sightseeing and it was close enough to the border of Thamel that one could easily grab a regular taxi rather than having to rely on the ones capable of operating in Thamel only. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was lovely and spacious.

The Dalai-La was a great choice. It's located right in the middle of the bustling area of Kathmandu but in it's private quiet area so you have the best of both. The staff was great and the breakfast was good. There is no elevator but the porters are more than willing to carry up your luggage. I would definitely return.

We really enjoyed our stay. We were upgraded to a superior suite — as long as we were willing to walk the five flights of stairs to the fourth floor. That was fine and we loved the room. The location can’t be beat. The inner courtyard is quite lovely and secluded enough from the noise of the street. Our room fronted on the street and yes, being in Thamel, you can hear the partying going on up until around 1:00 a.m. when things finally start to quiet down. Even so, we slept well. The bed was very comfortable. We had two complaints: 1) the shower was cold the first day, scalding hot the second day and perfect on the third day — so be sure to ask for it to be adjusted. 2) Breakfast was good and abundant made to order, but it was always a challenge to place an order as staff seemed unsure of the menu. Trying to get a second cup of tea was a comedy of errors. (Restaurant management, maybe there needs to be more training of staff to understand food terms in English and other common tourist languages?) Otherwise, we loved the place and the reception staff was exceptionally nice.

We stayed at Dalai-La for 2 nights, but wish wed stayed longer. The room we stayed in was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. It looked down on the inner courtyard and restaurant and was at the same level as the beautiful prayer flags criss-crossing between the roofs. Breakfast was excellent. The kitchen was very obliging in modifying their meals slightly to match our vegetarian needs! Travellers often talk about how friendly and helpful people/staff are in Nepal, but the staff at Dalai-La were exceptional. I was quite sick the evening we arrived - following a bumpy 8 hour drive from Chitwan. The hotel organised a doctors appointment for me and one member of the staff guided us to the hospital and back. This was the perfect place to rest, recover, eat & sleep well. We would definitely come back and highly recommend it to potential guests.
