Located just 1.5 km from the Kathmandu Durbar Square, Dalai-La Boutique Hotel operates a 24-hour front desk to assist guests at all hours. Free WiFi access is available.

At Dalai-La Boutique Hotel you will find a terrace and a bar. Other facilities offered at the property include a shared lounge, a ticket service and a tour desk. This place is an oasis of serenity right in the heart of bustling Thamel, just a short walk from Durbar Square and a quick taxi ride from the main attractions in town. Large rooms, nice decor, comfortable bedding. Yet the main asset of Dalai-la is its staff, always smiling and willing to go the extra mile to accommodate all our needs. We are particularly thankful to Abhi, who helped us in organising our trip during busy festival times. Excellent value for money, highly recommended.

Thagu Chhen, A Boutique Hotel is located within 50 metres to Bhaktapur Durbar Square. Guests can enjoy free Wi-Fi access at all areas of the property.

Tastefully furnished,rooms are equipped with a sofa and a dining area. Guests can also enjoy the picturesque views from the balcony. Free toiletries are included in the attached bathroom. I have been to Nepal several times but it was my first time at Thagu Chhen. It has exceeding my expectations and provides an excellent value. Besides, the location is prime and the staff are excellent. And as anyone who has been to Nepal will tell you, traditional Nepalese hospitality reigns supreme. Imagine stepping into a living museum... Thagu Chhen is nestled in the heart of Bhaktapur, and its architecture tells tales of centuries past. The ambiance bridges the old and the new: each room is styled with traditional Nepalese and Buddhist themes, a nod to the rich cultural heritage of the region. Here, you’re not just a room number. From the moment you arrive, they’ll know your name. Need a wake-up call for that early business meeting? Done. Craving a cup of masala chai? Consider it delivered. It is a home away from home. The staff are willing and happy to cater to your every need. They’ll make your stay memorable, whether it’s arranging a tour or sharing local legends. If you’re here for work, Thagu Chhen seamlessly blends business amenities with cultural immersion. High-speed Wi-Fi keeps you connected, while the ancient courtyards inspires creativity. This trip has been a perfect balance of business and pleasure and Thagu Chhen has been a big part of it. I highly recommend a stay at Thagu Chhen. You will come back for more.

Each room here will provide you with air conditioning and a seating area. Featuring a shower, private bathroom also comes with a hairdryer and free toiletries. You can enjoy heritage view from the room. Extras include a sofa and bed linen. This was the third time I have stayed in this property. It feels like you are in your own home. Staffs are very friendly, accommodating, caring and courteous. Let me give you an example of its caring staff. “For the breakfast, they serve you with two slices of toasts. Since I was cutting down carbs, I asked the lady at front desk to send me only one slice of toast because I didn’t want to waste food. After few days, she brought me two slices of toasts and told me that the size of the bread on that particular day was kind of smaller, and she thought one smaller piece wouldn’t be enough. That just brought a big smile in my face.” Even the dog at the property is so kind, it likes to welcome all the guests each time they arrive. I will definitely come back here next time I visit Nepal.

Hotel Shanker-Palatial Heritage Kathmandu is located in Kathmandu, next to Narayanhiti Palace Museum. The hotel offers an outdoor swimming pool and spa. Four dining options are available and parking is free. We visit Kathmandu every year or two and have for several years stayed at the Shanker before and after trekking. It’s close to Thamel but well away from the busy road, making it a quiet haven. The staff are very pleasant and attentive. The whole place is very clean, the rooms are comfortable and well equipped. A large selection of foods for breakfast, a swimming pool and large garden. Good value for a quality hotel.
