My recent experience at New Shivapuri event Hall - Aranya Boutique Hotel in Kathmandu left me with conflicting feelings as it unfolded as a series of highs and lows. Let's start with the lows. The event I hosted was plagued by a slew of issues. Firstly, despite assurances, nothing was ready on time. The staff appeared disorganized, and the lack of punctuality cast a shadow over what should have been a joyous occasion. The party venue, advertised as accommodating 200 people, proved to be a tight fit for our 150 guests. The cramped space diminished the overall experience, and it was clear that the venue's capacity had been grossly overestimated. Adding to the frustration, it seemed that our event took a backseat when there was a larger function in progress. The lack of attention and importance given to our gathering was disheartening, making us feel like an afterthought in our own celebration. On a positive note, I must commend the room, room service, food, and front desk staff. The accommodations were comfortable, the room service was prompt and friendly, and the front desk personnel were helpful. It's unfortunate that these positives were overshadowed by the glaring issues with the event venue. However, one significant letdown was the absence of a designated nursery or an extra room to cater to attendees with children. Despite prior requests, this basic consideration for families with young ones was overlooked, showcasing a lack of foresight and customer-centric thinking. In conclusion, while Aranya Boutique Hotel offered some positive aspects in terms of accommodation and service, the dismal experience with the Shivapuri event venue leaves me hesitant to recommend it for celebrations. The highs were marred by significant lows, and for those looking to host an event in Shivapuri Hall , it might be wise to explore other options that prioritize both professionalism and customer satisfaction.

Pros Great location for exploring Themal and provided you are not too high up, you shouldn't hear any road noise as it's set back. I was on the 4th floor and could hear the incessant beeping motorbikes but had moved from the first floor where i heard none (but was directly above the kitchen so could hear banging and chairs scraping from around 6am). 2nd floor is probably a good choice Staff were all excellent Room cleaned daily with 2 large bottles of water provided each day Breakfast was ok - decent variety of fruit, local and western with custom eggs. Coffee was instant though. Air con has heat facility No deposit required on check-in Toiletries provided Cons Some noise depending on your room location - dont stay in 107 or room directly above the kitchen/restaurant No safe for passport, cash etc in room Breakfast area isn't particularly clean i.e. dirty table cloths/mats Poor standard of fixtures/fittings e.g. gaps in windows and doors, curtains dont quite close right, dirty shower curtain, the rooms have seen better days but for the price its still good value. No coffee or milk in room (or 3-in one) No phone charging point near the bed Bathroom mat was old and dirty, no floor towel Tips: take extra passport photo if you intend to get a sim card at the airport, unlimited data one with nepal telecom cost me $10 - signal was mostly ok. Get your currency before you arrive or take enough to convert there, the atm machines are expensive Taxi from airport to Themal should be around 350 rupees working on 50 rupees per km plys 30 rupees start charge. You will be hounded relentlessly by people from the second you leave the plane for tour services etc. It may seem impolite but dont make eye contact, say no thank you and keep walking, otherwise you will spend your entire trip speaking to them. Right now its cold at night, pack accordingly. Be prepared to pay for everything, every temple, every place of historical interest - foreigners are charged around 1000-2000 rupees each time. E.g. all the Durbar squares, main stupas and temples. Don't assume that because Nepal is a developing country it is cheap. It isn't. In fact i found it comparable to some developed countries and not cheaper than say Thailand. A meal would cost me around 1000 rupees. In a smaller more local place you may pay 500. Don't take your new trainers, it's a very dirty, dusty city but exactly what you would expect if you've ever seen it on TV - it's all part of the experience. For exploring all of the main parts of Kathmandu, id say 5 days is a good amount of time. I recommend the everest helicopter tour but on that note i will say that tours are very expensive here, more expensive than even Hong Kong, Thailand, etc!! I ended up walking to the main temples, Chandragiri, Bakhtapur for the more local experience.

Hotel is very good at this price. Nice clean room, nice staff and food was good. Overall hotel is very good. It is very near to thamel area which is the hotspot of the city Kathmandu. Highly recommended this hotel.

Our group stayed at the Oasis Hotel before and after our trek to Everest Base Camp. The rooms and the service we fantastic. We stored our bags at the hotel when we went on the EBC trek. Because of weather and the Dashain Festival, we rescheduled our trek to go day later than originally planned. A member of our group came down with Dengue fever on the trek, so we had to return to Kathmandu two days early. Tulsi, the hotel manager, was incredibly helpful and was able to find us rooms to accommodate the changes. Tulsi and the staff at the hotel were very engaging, looked for ways to be of service, and always greeted us warmly. The hotel’s location is within easy walking distance to the shops in Thamel, in addition to having a lot good restaurants and cultural sites nearby. Our group was consistently impressed by the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms, the free breakfast, and the friendliness of the staff. With the changes we had to our trek schedule, we really appreciated Tulsi and his staff taking care of us. We will definitely stay here when make the return trip to tackle the Everest Base Camp trek again.

Been here 2 times and this property will always be my first option when it comes to booking hotels in Thamel. I have had the worst experience with other hotels but not Norbulinka. The staffs are friendly and helpful, the breakfast is delicious and for my second visit I wanted a room decoration and Norbulinka provided me with the best room decoration I had ever seen. It was really beautiful. Everything is good including the location, comfortable rooms, cozy beds, and delicious meals. It's very quiet and peaceful at night, really like the location.
