Perfect location.. In Thamel ñ close by to night outlets but because the area is compact ñ dense, you'll get loud music till about midnight but it's bearable. The staff are friendly ñ lovely. The food is much cheaper than other places. Ñ Nepali food is always good. Worth the stay via Hotel.com.
The staff were helpful and the restaurant was good value. During the day the roof terrace was a lovely place to sit and relax. It's in the pedestrianised part of Thamel and is a good location.
The bad part though was it's very close to a nightclub. I stayed 2 night and every night I could hear loud music into the early hours despite wearing earplugs and a beanie pulled down over my ears to try and drown it out. The room had two single beds but not much space in between them, as I was on my own this was ok but I think it would be very cramped for two people with luggage. The hotel public areas of the hotel lovely but my room was dated.
Overall because of the noise, I wouldn't stay here again.
We really enjoyed our stay at Holy Lodge. The staff were lovely and helped us out with different things, and even upgraded us. They arranged a fair priced airport pick-up which was waiting for us when we arrived. The room was very clean and perfect for the budget we were in. It isn't 5 star but that suited us perfectly as we were on a budget. Everything we needed was in the room and it was in a quieter street of Thamel. We slept well on a good bed and although the shower was basic it had plenty of hot water. We would happily stay there again. It is a very good budget. option. It is also an easy walk to the bus station.
