The most beautiful guest rooms Kathmandu

One of the most beautiful addresses in Thamel. This beautiful boutique hotel seduces by its location, at the end of a quiet alley, but especially by its Newar style architecture. Born out of the desire to preserve traditional Nepalese architecture, the establishment puts the art of woodcarving to the forefront, from the façade and corridors of the imposing red brick building to the rooms, entirely decorated with local handicrafts. Special mention for the hotel's committed eco-friendly policy and for its beautiful courtyard.

One of the friendliest addresses in Thamel. This small haven of peace is run by Yves, a native Breton and his wife Sangita, both surrounded by a smiling team. No wonder the address has its regular customers. A large nicely planted garden and good breakfasts served on the terrace overlooking the Swayambunath temple complete the picture. The sober and clean rooms are distributed in two buildings located one behind the other. All have an adjoining bathroom. We like it.

Situated just a stone's throw from Thamel, this beautiful newar-style guesthouse, founded in 1980, is halfway between a classic hostel and a mid-range hotel. The establishment offers a most pleasant setting. There are carved wooden windows, typical of Newar architecture, and a lovely garden. The rooms are not to be outdone, with or without bathroom, all are personalized. The ensemble is designed to be elegant and is a good option for travellers looking for comfort or charm.

The three buildings of Kathmandu's renowned hotel form a ring around the Dream Garden, creating an oasis set back from the busy main streets. Rooms range from standard to luxury. The hotel is well worth a visit for its central location and large garden, as well as for the many services on offer. Some street-facing rooms can be a little noisy, so prefer those overlooking the garden. A pleasant rooftop bar where you can sip a cocktail and watch the sun set.

The main asset of this establishment located only 3 minutes walk from the heart of Thamel is its peaceful garden, where it is good to stop after a day wandering through the busy streets of Thamel. The rooms are spacious, with en suite bathroom, TV and wifi, but of varying quality. Ask to visit before making your choice and try to get one of the best. The staff is considerate. Of interest is the large dining room, which can be convenient if you come in a group.

Located away from the hustle and bustle of Thamel, this inn is divided into two wings: one, rather old and less recommendable, and the other, more modern. Prefer the rooms in this building, which are much brighter and more comfortable. Equipped with satellite TV and, for the more expensive ones, air conditioning, they offer basic comfort but do the job. The lush roof terrace with a view of Nagarun can be enjoyed at breakfast time.
