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!

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.

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.

Really like this hotel - The rooms in the ‘new’ building are my favorite. Very clean. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Good breakfast included too. A few little fixes here and there maybe required ( showerhead in 303 needs attention - but he water was HOT ! ) It’s in a great location in Thamel ( right next to the best little bar in thamel - Sam’s Bar ) walkable to Durban Square - Garden of Dreams etc and about 500 Rupees taxi to the main temple / stupa sites It may be a little overpriced - but I’ll be staying here again on my next trip to Kathmandu ! Thanks again Dalai La !!

Okay(ish)
I was given room on the 4th floor where there is no lift. It was tough to walk up specially. Room was clean and fairly good size however the hot water in shower was extremely hot I was burnt several times even though it was mixed with maximum cold water. Staffs were friendly and polite and they all speak very good English.
