Muy agradable el lugar y el personal
Pros:

Cama cómoda, muchas facilidades (dejar maletas durante un tiempo, etc).

Ubicación en Thamel muy buena, con fácil acceso desde vías principales.

Muy amable Alam el recepcionista, y muy dispuesto ayudar con todo.

Cons:

El desayuno en el Black Olives está riquísimo, pero recomendaría ir a desayunar sin cogerlo incluido en el precio de la habitación porque por el mismo precio eliges entre más variedad.

Exceptional Hospitality – A True Home in Kathmandu! I stayed at the Thamel Grand Hotel for two nights during my recent t
Pros:

Exceptional Support: The owner, Pramit, provided end-to-end support, from organizing my Mustang tour vehicle to giving perfect local advice on shopping and dining.
• Emergency Care: The staff truly cares about safety; they stayed in constant contact and provided guidance when my friend suffered from altitude sickness (AMS).
• Warm Atmosphere: Manager Karuna and the rest of the team are incredibly kind and always greet guests with a genuine smile.
• Authentic Connection: It doesn't feel like a cold business transaction; the hospitality is so personal that you leave feeling like you’ve made lifelong friends.

Cons:

Too Short of a Stay: Since I only stayed for two nights, I didn't have enough time to fully enjoy the hotel's atmosphere and the hospitality of the team.
• Emotional Goodbye: It was genuinely difficult to leave because the staff treated me so much like family.

Great place close to Thamel, with a good kitchen just outside the entrance.
Pros:

Thamel Grand Hotel is located right at the beginning of the tourist mecca Thamel, but still so secluded that it is a fairly quiet area, at least I experienced no direct disturbances during my stay there. Directly adjacent to the hotel is a restaurant (The Black Olive) with (in my opinion) a good kitchen, I ate most of the meals at that restaurant during my stay at Thamel Grand Hotel there. In addition, you can buy breakfast vouchers at an attractive price at Thamel Grand Hotel which you can then redeem at the mentioned restaurant, where you can choose between seven (7) different breakfast options.

The staff was absolutely wonderful, always friendly and service-minded, always greeting me regardless of whether I was on my way in or out of the hotel. Although I appreciated the staff as a whole very much, I still want to especially highlight "bahini" Karuna Baniya. She was so incredibly warm and welcoming (as the Nepalese generally are), but I still took a special liking to her.

Karuna Baniya, if you're reading this, you should know that I have a special eye for you 😉😊🙏.

Cons:

The bed was to hard for my liking, but this seems to be the norm in Nepal, not only in Thamel Grand Hotel.
