I chose to stay here again after my trek because my first stay before the trek was so comfortable. The dinner was absolutely delicious, and the hotel environment is peaceful, unlike the noisy Thamel area. The staff's service made me feel genuinely warm and welcomed; they even proactively helped me communicate with the local driver when I was getting a taxi. I'd love to book this place again next time I'm in Nepal.
Excellent location, within walking distance to the Thamel area. It's close enough to be convenient but far enough to be quiet. We were offered warm drinks during check-in, which was a nice touch, especially in winter.
The room was very clean and quiet, and the hotel thoughtfully prepared a cake for us.
The laundry service was also very convenient and efficient.
All the staff were very helpful. The gentleman who helped with our luggage even assisted us in identifying our car by its license plate (as all license plates here use Arabic numerals), and the front desk staff helped us book bus tickets.

After traveling around the world for over 12 years, I've become very selective of where I choose to stay. I enjoyed Aryatara Kathmandu Hotel so much that I extended my stay an additional week. The rooms are clean and comfortable, hot water showers, cold AC when needed, and free internet. Some stays even offer a complimentary free buffet breakfast. There's also a travel desk to help you with booking excursions. The location is ideal for exploring local cafés, pubs, local landmarks and restaurants, all within walking distance. The staff are very professional and personable, and the price is very reasonable. I highly recommend this hotel.

The hotel location is excellent, fantastic breakfast,staff cooperation everywhere was excellent.
This hotel is not a four star hotel according to the Nepal hospitality...it clearly shows it's a three star hotel and all the facilities are related to three star or below.
The rooms are small,if staying with a couple or with a girlfriend is fine but if it's staying with two individuals it is very difficult moving and keeping the baggage, and other things.
The windows are fixed and can't open.
I will say again that the staff were fantastic.

Clean and new, comfortable bed, great hot shower. However the electricity was unstable throughout the night, which the TV auto restarted every single time when the electricity resumed, it was annoying. Would be better if they could resolve this issues
I stayed here in Kathmandu after arriving for my ABC trek, and it's a really great place. The security and front desk staff are very welcoming! What's most important for someone like me, who isn't great at English, is that the front desk ladies and the owner all speak Chinese, which is super convenient. They can also help you call a taxi or answer the phone when you're heading out. The room was very clean! If I ever come back to Nepal, I'll definitely choose this hotel again. The owner can even help book flights, and they're very affordable.

1. There's no elevator, and we were assigned a room on the 3rd floor, which was inconvenient for getting up and down.
2. The hotel is located on a narrow, crowded old street, but there are many Chinese restaurants nearby.
3. The hotel's garden is beautiful.
4. It was visibly dirty, but oh well, that seems to be a common issue in Nepal, so I just tried to overlook it.
Couldn't be better. Staff gave 6 star service with personal attention in every matter. Totally exceeded expectations for the price point. Other hotels would charge $1000 per night for this level of service.
The stay was great, to say the least. We actually decided to extend our as our plans changed and looked no further. The staff were very flexible with our late night flight and the ensuing late check-out and assisted us price-wiae.
The hotel is truly a boutique one.
Breakfast is nice. We didn't need much anyway, so for us, it was much more than we needed. There is a slight variation on a daily basis.
The cleaning lady cleans the room impeccably on a daily basis. In general, if you need anything, the staff are accommodating and always ready to help.
Locatio- wise, the hotel is somewhat further away from the noise of Thamel and other touristy areas but close enough to places of interest.
Last but not least, we arrived later than scheduled, so the meet and greet service , which came free, was super handy.
Great

Amazing
GGuest UserI had an incredible stay and extended two more nights. The GM and the staff are super helpful and customer oriented. Room is spacious. Morning yoga is included and the male yoga teacher is phenomenal. The yoga practice is inside the monastery. The location is another advantage. It’s walking distance to the Boudha Stupa which allows me to walk there a few times a day. At the same time, it’s in a quiet dead end. Lastly, it could be helpful for some who wish to disconnect digitally because wifi doesn’t work too well . There’s only one server located near the staircase in my building. If your room is far away from it, the signal is obviously problematic.
BBabymichongIt's a budget alternative to the hotel I love. I stayed one night and was particularly struck by how incredibly cold the electric fan was. The hotel is definitely worth experiencing; it's very Nepalese. Although old, it's very clean.

MMatthew1122The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and the service, as well as the food is excellent. The rooms however, are very old and small (we were able to change rooms after bringing this up with reception). The location is in Thamel and getting to nearby attractions is convenient
GGuest UserPerfect 3-Day Business Stay during NIFF 2026 – Tulsi Kathmandu Hotel 🇳🇵

Staff is consistently described as very friendly, attentive, and professional. Check-in and support were smooth, even during high-traffic festival days. (Tripadvisor)
Business Suitability
- Reliable internet
- Comfortable workspace in-room
- Central access to venues
- Calm atmosphere despite busy surroundings
Food & Amenities
Good mix of Nepali and international cuisine, rooftop terrace, and convenient airport transfer options. (***********)

A strong choice for short business stays during major events like NIFF. Combines boutique comfort with practical functionality.
Rating: 5/5
Best for: Business travelers, short stays, festival visits
Would recommend and would book again.

NN SolA great hotel in the heart of the Thamel district. Both the rooms and common areas are decorated in a national style, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The panoramic restaurant on the 7th floor is fantastic – delicious food with a diverse breakfast buffet and an extensive menu for other meals, including both local and European dishes. The hotel also has a very good spa, though it doesn't operate late into the evening. The staff are incredibly friendly and hospitable.
Highly recommend.
GGuest UserThe hotel is conveniently located and the room had a nice traditional design. However, I encountered a strong smell in the room, which made my stay uncomfortable. I burned incense to improve the air, which unexpectedly led to a dispute with the hotel about compensation.
The amount they requested was surprisingly high and difficult for me to understand. Eventually, the issue was resolved through the booking platform, but the experience was stressful and not something I expected on my trip. I hope the hotel can handle such situations with more flexibility and understanding in the future

IIngrid ReisingerComfortable and functional hotel, weithin walking distance from the airport. Very recommended for short stays. Good breakfast with fruit and warm options.
