Overall Ratings & Reviews Kathmandu Mantra Home

Just a follow-up review on my previous review on my one-night stay before spending my weekend in Pokhara - the hotel was overbooked and they arranged for me to stay in another hotel owned by the same owner. After my stay in Pokhara, I finally got to stay in this hotel and can provide an actual review on this hotel. My experience is excellent! I booked the Deluxe Twin Room - the room looks exactly the same as shown in the photo. The room is spacious and clean, have been having hot showers the past 20 nights with their electric water heater (can even be scorching hot if you want it!), AC working perfectly, no flies in the bathroom... This hotel definitely is comparable to the 3-star hotel I have stayed in Pokhara. The staff here is also very friendly and helpful. Made me feel at home every morning and evening! Learnt a lot of Nepali from them! Definitely recommend every one to stay here as it is definitely worth the price!

The place was overbooked so we were asked to stay at another “hotel” nearby. But the room was not in a good condition: there were holes on the wooden floor, and no hot water supply. Luckily the weather allows a ice cold shower as an alternative cooling method. Both the pillow and the mattress were on the extremely soft side. So we did not have a restful and comfortable stay. Nonetheless, the service was outstanding - we checked in late due to delay in flight and had to set off early for Pokhara, yet the staffs were welcoming and accommodated our requests. But this might not be a fair review, as I did not actually stay in Kathmand Mantra Home. I also booked this place for the coming month, and will submit my review afterwards!

The property was amazing, whether in terms of location or the services. The team at hotel were ready to help us in all possible ways. The hospitality that you get for money what you pay, no other hotel can beat that in that area. I wish to stay with same guys in near future.

The staff at this property really make your stay great. They go above and beyond to help you! The rooms are comfortable and for the price it can't be beat. The breakfast is also excellent. 10/10 would recommend this hotel to fellow budget travelers.

Poor breakfast and service. Shower was awful, waste of time. Good location tho

Untidy unfriendly staff shower was a joke Forget breakfast go somewhere else

My third time staying here. Staff is tremendous, helpful and friendly my Nice breakfast with eggs cooked to order. Rooms have plenty of space, no daily room service, hot water was good as was the water pressure. Can be a bit noisy at night when shops close their roll down metal does and in the morning when they open up. Back rooms are quieter but you'll still hear the stray dogs barking during the night (I swear that one of them is there SAME dog who was there 2 years ago!). The staff can arrange trips from Kathmandu as well as airport transport which they did for me which avoids the ambiguity of taxi pricing as the hotel charges a fixed price and you pay the hotel. Location is in Thamel on a slightly less chaotic street meat many shops and restaurants. Incredible

Staff was great. Location in the Thamel district is central near lots of shops and restaurants. Breakfast is good with eggs comes to order. A great value. Rooms in the back are somewhat quieter.

Good location, ok breakfast, no elevator.

Nice hotel with excellent friendly and helping staff. Tasty and hygienic breakfast.Reasonanble rates with all the necessary amenities .Family environment,safe to stay, near to temples,restaurants and market.Taxi easily available ,Overall we liked this hotel .

Rooms are large and well equipped but in need of updating. Staff seemed confused but manager was very efficient. Be early for breakfast coz it's not replenished.

Great location, comfortable room and best shower

This hotel is in a great spot in the middle of Thamel, meaning all shops and restaurants are within a few metres of the doorstep. Having said that, it is just far enough away from the hustle and bustle to ensure a quiets night sleep. Room was spotless and great value for money and staff were amazing too. So good that we have booked to stay here again for our return to Kathmandu

Brilliant staff were kind, helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good facilities clean Shower was hot. In a good location with restaurants and shopping nearby

The staff were brilliant; helpful, kind, went out of their way to make the stay enjoyable. The breakfast was good and plentiful. The facilities were good, clean and the shower had hot water. In a good location in the centre with easy access to everywhere.

So good in perfect location, everything is around; shops, restaurants and other tourist attractions. Reception staff is friendly and helpful, soon I book hotel whey arrange airport meet and transfer, also have tour desk what you can book bus tickets and all of tours. As I on budget travel I was checking costs online and around and find all trekkings best to book with whem. Was good experience with Mantra home.

The hotel offers good value for the price of the rooms. The staff was friendly and helpful overall. We had a couple of problems: 1) the wiring of the rooms and the reception was not done well, so our electronic devices could not charge properly; 2) it was a bit loud because of the constant construction near the hotel. I thought that the room was a bit damp, but my husband didn't notice it, so it might be just me. Overall, if you are staying in Thamel for a short time, it is a nice budget hotel with friendly staff and nice breakfast. The location is great - center of Thamel.

Staff is very friendly. Excellent location and good rooms.

The hotel is nice and the value for the price is great (most other places with the same price don't have a TV and AC). I liked the breakfast in the morning. The staff was helpful and friendly. It is a bit noisy in the area, but there is construction everywhere in Thame, so noise is present no matter where you go. The only thing I didn't like about this hotel is that the power outlets did not charge my devices. I had to go in coffee shops or elsewhere to charge my computer and cell phone. Overall a nice hotel.

The check in was very smooth and the owners were very responsive to my email inquiries prior to my arrival. They were very friendly and helpful during my stay and provided great recommendations for restaurants and places to visit. They also asked for feedback and genuinely want deliver a high level of service.
