We stayed at this hotel in November 2025 - myself, my father, and my teenaged son. Our entire stay was fantastic - the staff were lovely, accommodating, and helpful. The rooms were spacious and very well appointed, with comfortable beds, large bathrooms with lovely showers, plenty of storage, and more than enough space. The courtyard was a must after a day of navigating the streets of Kathmandu - a really beautiful and peaceful space to unwind. The hotel decor was fantastic, with lots of local art all over. On the whole, I cannot say enough good things about this hotel - we loved it, and would absolutely stay here again if we return. We felt very well taken care of here. One caveat - there are no elevators, so if you have a room on a higher floor be prepared for a lot of stairs (at least it preps you for trekking!).

Excellent hotel in Thamel. (My only complaint was there is no elevator.) Great staff, and breakfast room service was fast and hot. Laundry service same day. Right next to a busy Thamel street but a quiet retreat from the chaos around. I would definitely stay here again. 😁👍

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!

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!
