"Hotel Yala Peak – A Cozy Gem in the Heart of Thamel I recently stayed at Hotel Yala Peak during my visit to Kathmandu, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Tucked away in a quiet alley in the bustling Thamel area, this hotel is the perfect balance between peace and convenience. Rooms: The rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. Mine had a great view of the inner courtyard, and the bed was surprisingly soft. Hot water and good Wi-Fi were consistently available, which is a big plus! Service: The staff here are truly outstanding. Friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Whether it was arranging airport pickups, tours, or just recommending places to eat, they went above and beyond. Location: Ideal for tourists. You're minutes away from shops, restaurants, and trekking gear stores, but the hotel is just far enough from the main street to feel calm and relaxed. Price: Great value for money. The rates are budget-friendly without compromising on comfort or cleanliness. Extras: They also offer luggage storage for trekkers, which is super convenient, and the rooftop is a nice place to unwind. Overall: Highly recommended for solo travelers, couples, and trekkers. If you're looking for a safe, clean, and affordable place in Kathmandu with genuine hospitality, Hotel Yala Peak is a fantastic choice."

"Extremely clean hostel. The bed was comfortable, with a power outlet, a lamp, and a privacy curtain. The shower area was spotless with new fixtures and excellent water pressure. They even had toilet paper, which is a rare find in Kathmandu hostels! Great location and fast internet. Perfect for a couple of days."

"The price of the shared room seems reasonable considering the quality and location—close to the heart of Thamel. However, the room is a bit small, and during hot seasons, dealing with the heat without AC can be a challenge. I’d like to highlight the excellent reception service, especially from Mónica, who was very attentive and always willing to chat or help with anything. I’m truly grateful for the staff’s hospitality."

"Sara's Backpackers Hotel is really OK. The location is practical, you can get to important places QUICKLY like the Pashupatinath Temple or the Garden of Dreams. The rooms are clean, but a bit simply furnished. WIFI IS free, but sometimes a bit slow. THE staff is super friendly and helps with everything, whether it's excursions or questions about the area. Breakfast is OK too, but not super special - just typical of the country. The rooftop terrace is a real highlight, a nice view to relax. There are also bikes to rent, which is cool. A few things could be better, e.g. the beds are a bit hard and the showers could be more modern. Overall, though, it's good value for money. Would come back if I'm in the area! ⭐⭐⭐⭐"

We read comments from other guests and we started to book 2 nights at Hostel de Ajeet. It was a good decision, no doubt, because we stayed 6 nights finally. The building is clean and built a couple of years ago. The giant bed and has a hot water shower. Being there is also sharing with your family, because they reigned the local in a very close way. It is 200 metres from the Monkey Temple and the National Museum.

After a long time of searching, I found this newly opened hotel. The breakfast is very delicious, and most importantly, it is very close to the pagoda. You can see the pagoda from the roof, which is very solemn. The room facilities are very clean and in place, and the bathroom is very new. Hot water is available all day long, so you don't have to worry about not having a hot shower. There are floor-to-ceiling windows with views, so I chose to stay here for a few more days. The boss is very helpful and is very willing to recommend the surrounding tourist attractions, and he also acts as a guide. If he leads you, it saves time, effort and money. Choosing to stay at Little Buddha can save time and money in all aspects. The stone slabs in front of the door are very comfortable to walk on. Friends who have stayed in other hotels have praised it very much. I will still book this hotel next time.

It's a little bit of a walk from the Thamel area and in a secluded location, but it wasn't inconvenient for sightseeing. I stayed in a 6-person dormitory on the top floor, and the shower toilet was clean and acceptable. There was also toilet paper provided, so I think this hostel is within the acceptable range for Japanese people. There is no elevator, so it is a bit difficult to go up and down, but other than that it was a comfortable hostel. The owner was able to communicate in English via Whatsapp and was quick to respond to various questions and tour requests. I organized a half-day hiking tour of Nagarkot, which included a guide and car for about 17,000 Nepalese rupees.

super convenient location in thamel district, kathmandu. v close to the garden of dreams and the main streets of the area, where there was a lot of buzz day and night. the hotel is far back enough from these streets that the noise doesn't affect sleep in any way. rooftop terrace was a nice touch

I went there for 1 night just to have a peaceful sleep. I have long way to travel so to catch up my sleep, I was there. It is like a party house at night extremely playing noisy songs. Instead of opening hotel, they should have opened night club. Yes, the environment is club environment. The staffs are nice . I complain by shouting out loud back to them. It is effective, they immediately lower their song. The entrance to the hotel is narrow,no car can enter. Moreover, super loud environment to have a good night sleep. So, not recommend.
