Pros: Central location. Food shop and convenience stores are all nearby. Helpful staff. Free breakfast. Large carpeted room with desk, chair and sofa. Even has a balcony although seems not usable structure. Have electric kettle

Hotel is in good location, staff was friendly who checked in us. I loved the room as they were quit big and comfortable, had an air conditioning in the room too. Shower facilities was good but could be better, plus point hot shower was available and bonus bath tub was available as well.
Kettle was provided to us with drinking water, could be better if tea and coffee was available but staff was superb as they provided us with tea and coffee on request.
Overall, it was excellent for me, in comparison to price, room sizes, location and friendliness of the staff. I even recommended my friend to stay as I was there.

Perfect hotel in Kathmandu! Clean, great service, bright and nice room, warm shower with toiletries and clean towels. The restaurant downstairs serves very nice food like fish sadheko (nepalese sauce) and plain lassi. If u chose breakfast option, it’s buffet with an egg station. 5min walk to Thamel centre and the coffee stall just below serves really good coffee. Just nearby is a Mountain Tea shop (turn left on main street) that sells masala tea at a good price (100g NPR200 while other shops sell NPR400) - u can try asking for even better price. My friend moved over from a hostel she booked after hearing my experience!

The location is very good, close to Thamel Street but very quiet, which is difficult. The service attitude of the staff is very good, especially the guy and girl at the front desk. The restaurant downstairs tastes very good, clean and delicious, and the key is very convenient. The room is clean and the hot water temperature is good. Although it is not very hot, it is completely enough. Recommended to stay. The hotel is on a small road (that's why it is away from the hustle and bustle), you can find it by searching the hotel name on Google Maps.

The hotel staff are exceptionally friendly, especially the manager, Mr. Gangar, who greeted us every morning with a warm smile. The location is convenient, about 20 minutes from Kathmandu Durbar Square. The hotel room was quite nice, but there were two minor issues: the flooring was sticky and uncomfortable to walk on barefoot, and there were no slippers provided. Additionally, there was no hand shower or shower cap available. Despite these small inconveniences, it was overall a pleasant stay at a good hotel.
Overall good hotel, place is not the noiziest in Thamel,.but for this price you get very nice place to stay it. Around lots of shops and infrastructure (yoga, spa, etc). Good if you need a place for a couple of days. If longer Id prefer not to stay in Thamel. You can ask to clean, take out trash and change beds.

The hotel staff are really exceptional. They help with anything, ask you about your day, offer tours and are just all around helpful and provide excellent service. The breakfast is great. Mostly Western options, but I got the Heritage breakfast, fresh juice and coffee for 3 days in a row. The breakfast staff are very helpful and the breakfast eating area has a lovely view of the city. This is within the Thamel neighborhood and restaurants and shops are right nearby. The hotel also picked me up and took me to the airport which was very helpful and reassuring when I arrived. I had a one bedroom, but they also have hostel shared rooms on site.

The hotel is a good place to take photos. Although the items in the hotel store are more expensive, you can feel more assured when buying. Some of the hotel waiters were patient in helping me with my requests, while others were perfunctory and didn't even know that their hotel had stamps for sale. Fortunately, I asked the store owner when I was shopping in the hotel store, otherwise I would have to go to the post office again. Among the three hotels I stayed in Nepal, this hotel had almost no Chinese compatriots, but mostly foreigners. We had afternoon tea together in the hotel, and I also met locals holding birthday parties in the restaurant.

GGuest UserThe hotel service was almost impeccably superb.
I arrived and was departed by the same polite receptionist, Manoj.
The bed was cozy,the toilet was nice (equipped with a range of toiletries) and the interior room was just wonderful.
Breakfast was decent and simple.
The staff were always ready to serve you.
The welcoming atmosphere was somewhat delightful.🫠
The manager even helped us with our planning of Kathmandu- Pokhara and provides all the necessary details that we need to know over there. Saves us a lot of time. 👍🏼
The location was just right. Easily walking access to nearby food place and market for essential buyings.
Just that the tv programs were all news channels,that was a slight bummer but most of the time we were out so it doesn't really matter.
And our room view was limited maybe because we were on the lower floor but the home style feels overcame the restriction.
There is a saying:
”Perfect goodbyes leave nothing unsaid, thereby there's nothing left to come back for.”
Overall, even with just 18 rooms in this hotel, I didn't regret making it my destination to rest at Kathmandu.
It was truly a lovely place and I hope it prospers widely in the future.
Lastly, for all the staff in Kumari Boutique Hotel who appreciate our existence that one week stay,thank you a lot! 🙏🏼 🙏🏼
GGuest UserWe had the pleasure of staying at this exceptional hotel for a total of 6 nights, and we couldn't be more thrilled with our experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff displayed an authentic and warm hospitality that made us feel truly at home. Their genuine friendliness and willingness to assist with every request went above and beyond our expectations.
One of the highlights of our stay was the remarkable cleanliness and tranquility of our room. It was evident that great care was taken to ensure a pristine environment, allowing us to relax and unwind in utmost comfort. The icing on the cake was the superb internet reception, which allowed us to stay connected seamlessly throughout our stay.
Our stay was punctuated by delightful mornings indulging in an exquisite breakfast spread. The puri or chapati and curry quickly became our favorites, perfectly complemented by the aromatic masala tea and the flavorful masala omelette – a true culinary delight!
The hotel's al fresco dining experience was an absolute treat. The ambiance was charming, and the food left an indelible mark on our taste buds. With each meal, we explored a plethora of different dishes, each more tantalizing than the last. It's safe to say that the culinary offerings exceeded our expectations in every way.
A noteworthy mention is the hotel's convenient proximity to Boudha Stupa, a mere 10-minute walk away. This made our visits to the stupa incredibly convenient and allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in its serene atmosphere.
What sets this hotel apart is not only its remarkable amenities and services but also the unique opportunity it offers. The daily free yoga and meditation sessions held within the monastery on the premises are truly transformative. We highly recommend inquiring about the schedule from the attentive hotel staff – it's an experience that added immeasurable value to our stay.
In summary, our time at this hotel was nothing short of exceptional. The combination of attentive staff, immaculate rooms, delectable cuisine, and the added touch of free yoga and meditation sessions make this hotel a standout choice for anyone seeking a memorable stay near Boudha Stupa. We wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to fellow travelers looking for an unforgettable experience.
Thank you to the entire staff for making our stay truly remarkable – we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to return!
Tip: Indulge in delightful puri & curry breakfast, relish al fresco dining, rejuvenate with free daily yoga. A tranquil oasis near Boudha Stupa.
GGuest UserWe knew the service would be good as soon as we booked, and within hours we received a welcome email, listing the ways we could contact them if we needed to.
On the pick up at the airport, they were speedy and efficient and the taxi ride only took us 20 minutes with traffic.
As we walked through the door we were blown away by the interior decoration, only then to find that hotel had been a former palace!
Historic artifacts and pictures were strewn through the hallways and the outside only matched the royal feel with perfection.
We stayed in the royal suite, with a big bed and balcony. The staff were great, the breakfast was standard for off peak times and although the location isn't in the depth of Thamel, the area most will go out for eating and drinking, it was within 30 minutes drive of most landmarks and as it was the ambassedy/ office worker area, there was a nice vibe.
There were some things that can't be controlled. The hotel did a good job of providing heat as the weather in February is still chilly.
The pollution was real. Especially as you walk nearer the streets, something to think about if you are sensitive to this. Apart from that, It was all really wonderful. Niraj Yadav the receptionist and the team, we thank you dearly.
肥肥頭仔One of the newly built hotel in Kathmandu, though it’s not close to the central tourist district, Thamel area but it’s just 20mins drive from the Airport, so quite convenient.
Since my booking including an airport pick up and drop off, so my whole journey was very smooth. Thank you much to the concierge arrangement for the logistic.
As for catering, I have only had their breakfast buffet which was also including in my booking, through my four days breakfast I didn’t get bored yet since they offered a wide variety of food options. Westerns parties, Chinese food, local Nepalese food and also Indian ones. The head chef and his catering team are super attentive and thank you so much for taking good care of my stomach during my stay.
Room, since it’s newly built, all facilities are up to standards, and the sound proofing is quite ok to a light sleeper like me. Water pressure from the shower is good; and the amenities are well provided.
Besides to our beds. There are usb and charging ports, very convenient.
Other facilities:
Gym: small one but well equipped
Spa: there’s a spa on the top floor but I haven’t had time to try
Rooftop bar: very nice ambient should go during the sunset
Overall, if I would ever visit Kathmandu again Hilton is my only option.
Ps. I stayed at this hotel in Feb 2025
JJason2023Pros
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.
GGuest UserI didn't realise the hotel location is so fantastic.
Near Asan Bazaar, Kathmandu Durbar Square and in the heart of Thamel.
The staff are very friendly and helpful.
The room reasonably clean.
If I ever return to Kathmandu, I will stay in Hotel de Universal again.
Thank you so much for the great service.
GGuest UserThe hotel has a nice view from the outside. Breakfast is not included in the price and needs to be paid extra. There were sporadic power outages during the stay. I was a little worried and scared at first, but later I turned off the air conditioner and the power outages were alleviated.
It is very close to the airport and the Boudhanath temple. You can see the panoramic view of the hotel when the plane takes off.
GGuest UserNice Old Hotel, Great Staff with few needs to improve.
Swimming pool is totally disappointment. Better to shut down, than keep running and not swimmable, waist of energy. The water is dirty, no star at all.
The lobby, the room and Ghurka bar are still great.
2 power shutdowns in 1 day, I believe they are struggling with power shortages due to dark lounges.
Breakfast was so so, coffee or tea should be not a challenge to serve first, sometimes took half of meal before they come. Many Tables are not stable and aligned, egg can easily roll over to other side. Atleast 3 tables on my experience.
Room is comfortable, nice bed and always fresh linen. Only noisy from AC , maintenance team came twice on my room to fix, though transfer was offered on my last 2 days.
Managers should not standing in buffet line, either they should help the line staffs or directing the team, talking business in public is not of our guests concern.
Front desk Trainee, has good presence, I thought first he is manager.
A lot can be improved and polished, the hotel has a great potential, nice design, great facilities and great staffs. I wish that management should look all themselves and review those small details.
GGuest UserThere is a garden and the restaurant is also in the garden. The single bed is a little small but very comfortable. There is a terrace facing the garden. Fortunately, it closes at 8 or 9 in the evening, so it becomes very quiet immediately.
CChristinalvxingdarenBecause I didn't catch the plane, I found a small hotel temporarily in the early morning.
facility:
Although the hotel is small, the hardware facilities are relatively good in Nepal, which is good.
There is air conditioning, hot water and card swipe door locks, which are advanced.
But there is no hair dryer either…
health:
I still saw the hair...
environment:
Room comfortable
Serve:
The breakfast provided is relatively simple (Picture 6 is the breakfast menu)
The service attitude of the staff at night is good, but the service attitude during the day is average.
In the evening, my friend in Kathmandu sent me to the hotel to pick up my luggage and take me to the airport. The hotel staff was even more hospitable.
A perfect breakfast gives you energy for the day. If you want to stay at a hotel near Kathmandu Thamel with a high-quality breakfast, you can consider staying
