Wonderful stay with an unbeatable location!
Pros:

The best part about this property is definitely the location — it’s perfectly situated and made getting around incredibly convenient. The room itself was also pretty great: clean, comfortable, and very well-maintained.
What truly made our stay special, though, was the staff. Everyone was extremely sweet and welcoming. A special mention to Bishal and Rajesh, who were absolutely amazing and went out of their way to ensure our stay was smooth and memorable.
Would definitely recommend and happily stay here again!

Cons:

Exceptional stay at Flying Yak, Kathmandu
Pros:

My stay at Flying Yak, Kathmandu was absolutely wonderful and truly memorable. The owner Raj Bhai and his wife are incredibly warm, humble, and welcoming people who make you feel at home from the very first day.

The entire team — Bikash Bhai, Rajan Bhai, didi, and driver Bhairav Bhai — are extremely friendly, supportive, and always ready to help with a smile. Their hospitality is genuine, and you can trust them blindly.

A special thanks to Raj Bhai, who personally arranged my entire trip covering Kathmandu and Pokhara, including the mountain flight. Everything was perfectly planned and smoothly executed, which made my trip completely stress-free.

If you’re looking for the best place to stay in Kathmandu, managed by honest, caring, and reliable people, Flying Yak is the place. Highly recommended for solo travelers as well as anyone looking for a comfortable and trustworthy stay.

Good location, comfortable beds
Pros:

The location is in main Thamel market. Everything is close by and still the place is not noisy. It has comfortable beds and very helpful and cheery staff.
There is no lift. However, staff helped me with my very heavy bags. No complaints. Had a really good stay.

Nice room and staff who were really helpful.
Pros:

The room was really good. Clean and good bathroom. Good location just off the main road, so quieter than other spots.

Cons:

The lobby area was not very inviting. It could have offered a bit more for guests in terms of coffee or something. But the restaurant next door makes up for it.

Pros:

Хороший вариант проживания для большой компании.
Очень удачное расположение отеля в центре туристического района. Рядом отличный ресторан и в шаговой доступности много разных кафе и магазинов для шоппинга.
Номер на 6 человек с удобными 2х ярусными кроватями, кондиционером и достаточным количеством розеток для каждого. В номере всегда чисто. Туалет и душ общий в холле. Есть горячая вода, туалетная бумага и мыло для рук - минимальный базовый набор, необходимый для комфортного проживания в отеле. Полотенце выдают по просьбе. Бесплатный wifi. Внимательный и дружественный персонал. Есть возможность оставить вещи после выселения (дважды оставляли, уезжая в поездку).
