What Guests Say About Their Stay

I nearly missed this hotel because the review average was below 8. After looking more closely, I realized that the average is low because of reviews during their renovations a few years ago and there aren't enough recent ones. This is a shame because it is a great place to stay. Absolutely the cleanest hotel I've ever stayed at in Nepal. I took a room in the newer section and it was spacious and comfortable and tastefully decorated. The service was excellent and every staff member from the desk to the cleaning people were very friendly and attentive. The newer section is set back from the street, so there was no Thamel noise, and the windows look down on the nice garden and koi pond below.

I recently booked a Deluxe room at your hotel, paid in full, and arrived expecting the room I reserved. However, upon check-in, I was placed in a smaller room on the 3rd floor without any prior notification. This room is clearly $20 less than the Deluxe room I originally paid for. I requested either to be moved to the correct room or to receive the $20 price difference as a refund. Shockingly, your staff suggested I cancel my reservation and rebook for the smaller room, even though I had already checked in, and it’s not possible to cancel the reservation on Expedia after I check in. This is completely unacceptable. If you had informed me before my arrival that my reserved room was unavailable, I would have had the option to cancel or adjust my booking. Instead, you allowed someone to extend their stay in the room I booked and expected me to settle for a smaller room at the same price. I paid for a Deluxe room, and I expect either the room I reserved or a proper refund for the price difference. Your team’s explanation about waiting to see the price difference you received is irrelevant and makes no sense. I paid $20 more for a better room, and I should not have to bear the consequences of your mismanagement. This experience has been incredibly disappointing, and your approach to resolving it is far from professional.

This was the 2nd time that I have been to Potala and the rooms are not as good as the first one as it was fully booked and nearer to one of the festive season.

The guest house was being renovated over winter so it wasn't at it's usual best, The staff were fantastic and volunteered to go out to the airport to pick up my delayed baggage when I couldn't do it. The room was fine although the bathroom floor got very wet when the shower was used. I'd go back because of the great staff.

The hotel was being renovated but all was fine. But the best thing is that the staff volunteered to go to the airport to recover my bag lost by Air Asia as I was out of town for a week. They were exceptional.

Located right in the midst of Thamel, close to everything there. Basic accomodations but clean and safe. They have a safe if you require it as well as locked storage if you're out of town for a few days and need to store luggage/bag, etc. Friendly staff who speak good english. Reasonable prices (I paid 1200 rs per night while I was there). They also have free wifi which is nice.

The picture being publicised is not of Potala Guest House, may be of some other hotel or fake. The room was spacious but not clean. Basic requirements like brush, toothpaste, shaving kit not given, very small pieces of soap given, staff reluctant to provide more. Truly cheap hotel.

We stayed three nights upon our arrival in Nepal. The location worked well for us as there are many restaurants less than 3 minutes of walking, and lots of competitive pricing from the various outdoor clothing shops . The room was a bit chilly in the mornings, but it was worth it for the low price.
