Wonderful stay. Wonderful hotel. I did have to climb a fair number of stairs to reach my room - as it was an eco friendly hotel. But it was a marvelous experience and the hotel staff went out of their way to help out

This hotel is a very charming, boutique hotel, very clean. Close to busy Thamel. if you want some quiet, 15-20 min. walkable to the garden of dreams, take a rickshaw to the Durbar, etc. Very convenient, lots of options to eat, the restaurant in this hotel is wonderful!

10/10 Exceptional

This is the perfect hotel for first time visitors to Kathmandu or anyone wanting to stay in Thamel. The city/neighborhood can feel very chaotic at times, and Dalai-La is such a wonderful escape. The courtyard is a perfect place to start the day with the hotel’s amazing breakfast options. The rooms are spacious with modern fixtures. We were given two large bottles of water in the room a day. The staff is simply wonderful! Binod specifically was very friendly and amazingly helpful. He gave us a number recommendations for things to do in and around Kathmandu as well as our next stay in Pokhara. He was also very helpful with the currency exchange. The location of the hotel is perfectly situated in Thamel to allow you to walk to numerous shops and restaurants. I would absolutely stay here again. My dad and I had a wonderful time!

I enjoyed Dalai la's integration and support of local artists. They have set aside part of their dining space as an impromptu gallery, allowing artists to present work and meet visitors and tourists. Dalai La also is part of Nepal 2020 tourisim campaign and had three giant 'Yeti' sculptures on display in their courtyard. Really fun place!

Absolutely Recommended
Wonderful hotel. The exterior is especially magnificent. And the hotel is full of world-class artwork by local artists. Restaurant is top shelf. Be sure to try the Nepalese thali. Only small strike against is that the courtyard can get a little loud at night. But this is Thamel. If you are a light sleeper, you will need earplugs at any hotel is this area. 100% recommend staying here.

A hidden gem in Thamel, Kathmandu. A nice courtyard to relax in and good food and service. Felt safe here. The room was nice and clean. We had a large room with a seating area. Really enjoyed the courtyard.

Boutqiue Hotel in Heart of Tourist District
The hotel is well-situated in the tourist area of Kathmandu. Great customer service and clean room. I would have appreciated a refrigerator in the room, but not a deal breaker. One of the best breakfasts I've had at a small hotel. Overall a good experience.
