This place suits me perfectly, providing everything I need, like air conditioning, 24-hour reception, and fast wi-fi. On my first stay, the staff even helped me with sim cards and were always accommodating. I highly recommend the breakfast! I’m coming back for Christmas.

Dalai-La Boutique is an excellent choice for business travelers, conveniently located in Thamel, Kathmandu’s bustling business hub. The spacious rooms offered modern fixtures, and I appreciated the two large bottles of water provided daily. What stood out was the exemplary service from Binod, who not only assisted with currency exchange but also provided valuable recommendations for local attractions. The courtyard served as a serene breakfast spot with a variety of options to choose from.
Room noise due to the bustling Thamel area can be disruptive.

A Serene Oasis Amidst the Buzz of Thamel
Staying here was a delightful experience! The beautiful gardens create a tranquil atmosphere that feels miles away from the bustling streets of Thamel. I was especially impressed with the staff, particularly Binod, who remembered my orders and provided great recommendations for local attractions and dining. The breakfast was fantastic, and I highly recommend the tofu scramble with spinach—it's a must-try! My only wish is that the rooms could have a bit more soundproofing for added quietness during the night.

I loved my stay here for three nights in the Beautiful Double Room! The ambiance was so uplifting, a unique blend of traditional Tibetan culture and modern comfort. The breakfast hours flexible until 12 PM allowed me to savor their delicious tofu scramble with spinach while enjoying beautiful views of the serene courtyard.

The Dalai-La Boutique truly felt like a hidden gem amidst the chaos of Thamel. The atmosphere in the courtyard brought a calm vibe, surrounded by beautiful plants and soothing music. My Deluxe Double Room was spacious and beautifully decorated, creating a cozy and serene ambiance. The breakfast was a highlight, especially the tofu scramble with spinach. I appreciated that breakfast hours extended until 12 PM, allowing a leisurely start to the day. Staff were genuinely warm and welcoming, going above and beyond. Special mention to Abhi and Anjali, who were attentive and always happy to assist. There was a quietness in my room despite being in a bustling area, although the occasional street noise did slip in. A downside was the lack of an elevator, which could be tricky with heavy luggage and higher floors. Still, this hotel was a fantastic choice and I would love to return for another stay.

We had an amazing stay, especially enjoying the delicious tofu scramble with spinach at breakfast and the serene courtyard for afternoon tea. The hotel also has a cozy lounge and an art exhibition area, perfect for relaxing. A bit of street noise slipped in, but it didn't ruin our experience at all—definitely try their Nepali tea! ☕️

I stayed in the Deluxe Double Room for 2 nights and it was super comfy! The room had a cozy vibe with beautiful decor. Loved the spaciousness, and it felt really serene. The only downside was some street noise creeping in at times since it’s in the bustling Thamel area. But overall, it was such a delightful space to relax after a day of exploring.

It was a great match for a city trip in Kathmandu with fantastic value for money. The food options were quite good, especially the Italian dishes that were well prepared. Be ready for a little workout if your room is on the higher floors.
