This is problem one of the three best boutique hotels in Thamel.

Location, facilities, and food were almost best quality. We didn’t have to call the reception desk once with a complaint.

Absence of a lift makes it difficult for elderly couple to stay in the upper floors

Beautiful and friendly hotel in the heart of Thamel

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 :-)

Stay at Dalai la takes your vacation to the next level

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'.

Excellent boutique style hotel with artistic flair and superb staff

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.

An experience that would always remain in our hearts

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.

Boutique Hotel which is very well located and with exceptionally friendly staff.

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.

An amazing home away from home!

I stayed here for 3 nights prior to going on a medical mission. Location was convenient, right next to shops and restaurants, a short walk to the taxi stand. Even though it was in a central, busy location, the hotel itself felt like an oasis, just a peaceful vibe about it. Upon arrival, I was upgraded to the Everest Room on the top floor. Though the climb to the room was almost like climbing Everest itself, the room was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. Loft style, equipped with 2 balconies and a nice view. It was a pleasure to come back to after a long day of sight seeing. The gym is smaller, but compared to other hotels in the area, gyms are hard to find. Another plus, is that they provided filtered water in the room. Staff and hospitality were consistently top notch. Sherling (not sure if I spelled it correctly), the bartender/server would ask about my day during breakfast, him as well as the other staff at this hotel were very personable. I traveled alone but the staff definitely made it feel a little more like home. Would definitely stay here again!

The temperature for the shower was a little hard to control at times. I also recommend that the staff check the bottle of the water jug bottles each time on cleaning as one of them, though it was still full, did have some green sediment on the bottom (but that was only one instance).
