Hotels with Bars in Kathmandu

Pros Great location for exploring Themal and provided you are not too high up, you shouldn't hear any road noise as it's set back. I was on the 4th floor and could hear the incessant beeping motorbikes but had moved from the first floor where i heard none (but was directly above the kitchen so could hear banging and chairs scraping from around 6am). 2nd floor is probably a good choice Staff were all excellent Room cleaned daily with 2 large bottles of water provided each day Breakfast was ok - decent variety of fruit, local and western with custom eggs. Coffee was instant though. Air con has heat facility No deposit required on check-in Toiletries provided Cons Some noise depending on your room location - dont stay in 107 or room directly above the kitchen/restaurant No safe for passport, cash etc in room Breakfast area isn't particularly clean i.e. dirty table cloths/mats Poor standard of fixtures/fittings e.g. gaps in windows and doors, curtains dont quite close right, dirty shower curtain, the rooms have seen better days but for the price its still good value. No coffee or milk in room (or 3-in one) No phone charging point near the bed Bathroom mat was old and dirty, no floor towel Tips: take extra passport photo if you intend to get a sim card at the airport, unlimited data one with nepal telecom cost me $10 - signal was mostly ok. Get your currency before you arrive or take enough to convert there, the atm machines are expensive Taxi from airport to Themal should be around 350 rupees working on 50 rupees per km plys 30 rupees start charge. You will be hounded relentlessly by people from the second you leave the plane for tour services etc. It may seem impolite but dont make eye contact, say no thank you and keep walking, otherwise you will spend your entire trip speaking to them. Right now its cold at night, pack accordingly. Be prepared to pay for everything, every temple, every place of historical interest - foreigners are charged around 1000-2000 rupees each time. E.g. all the Durbar squares, main stupas and temples. Don't assume that because Nepal is a developing country it is cheap. It isn't. In fact i found it comparable to some developed countries and not cheaper than say Thailand. A meal would cost me around 1000 rupees. In a smaller more local place you may pay 500. Don't take your new trainers, it's a very dirty, dusty city but exactly what you would expect if you've ever seen it on TV - it's all part of the experience. For exploring all of the main parts of Kathmandu, id say 5 days is a good amount of time. I recommend the everest helicopter tour but on that note i will say that tours are very expensive here, more expensive than even Hong Kong, Thailand, etc!! I ended up walking to the main temples, Chandragiri, Bakhtapur for the more local experience.

Our group stayed at the Oasis Hotel before and after our trek to Everest Base Camp. The rooms and the service we fantastic. We stored our bags at the hotel when we went on the EBC trek. Because of weather and the Dashain Festival, we rescheduled our trek to go day later than originally planned. A member of our group came down with Dengue fever on the trek, so we had to return to Kathmandu two days early. Tulsi, the hotel manager, was incredibly helpful and was able to find us rooms to accommodate the changes. Tulsi and the staff at the hotel were very engaging, looked for ways to be of service, and always greeted us warmly. The hotel’s location is within easy walking distance to the shops in Thamel, in addition to having a lot good restaurants and cultural sites nearby. Our group was consistently impressed by the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, the free breakfast, and the friendliness of the staff. With the changes we had to our trek schedule, we really appreciated Tulsi and his staff taking care of us. We will definitely stay here when make the return trip to tackle the Everest Base Camp trek again.

There are typical Nepalese style hotels, but the water quality is slightly yellowish, and everything else is fine.

A pleasant small hotel close to restaurants, cafes and tourist shops. Check in was quick, a cup of tea was provided and our suit cases were carried up 5 flights of stairs by the porter, as there was no lift! The room was nice, comfortable and warm- it was February. There was also a good view from the room. Overall a nice place to stay. We didn’t eat in the hotel but complementary breakfasts would have been a nice addition. The staff were friendly and provided some useful info of places to visit. The hotel also provided their vehicle to take us to the airport, at a cost.

Went to their Japanese restaurant #K2SJ! for dinner, amazing food by Chef Kyohei and absolutely great service by Samden and Anil. Their Rice cake dessert and Sushi is a must try. Will recommend for sure!

Surprisingly good hotel, hotel service staff with smiles on everyone's face, hotel clean and hygienic, walking in the garden, gardeners all kindly greet, beautiful garden, rich breakfast, freshly brewed coffee ☕️, freshly made juice 🍹 The made-to-order potato burrito is delicious. Families with children can also add extra beds. The hotel lobby manager is caring. The shuttle service booked at the hotel is of good quality and feels like home. Recommended

The mattress and pillows had very bad smell like they had not been replaced for a couple of years. The food in Zing cafe at the lobby was just so so. The plastic table covers generally full of food debris without frequent changing. During the 7-day stay, the service at front desk, restaurant and for our room however was overall up to the standard of a 5-star hotel.

Stayed at KGH for 3 nights and my kids and I loved it. Service: After checking in, I found that the room next door was very noisy. I asked the front desk to change the room, and upgraded to a deluxe room for free. It is very quiet and comfortable, thank you Environment: This is a hotel with a history. The paintings on the walls, exhibits, museums (for a fee), art gallery, and hand-painting classes are all hidden in the hotel. The small garden can meet the play needs of young children Location: The hotel is in an alley, and there are small shops at the entrance. It is very convenient for shopping and eating. It is not far to go to several major attractions. The hotel is expensive to call, and the taxi at the entrance can be negotiated Catering: Nepal has a more traditional taste, the price is slightly higher, but the dining environment is good, and the price is worth it
