Een oase van rust en luxe in het drukke Kathmandu
Pros:

Super nette, ruime, schone kamer met een uitstekend (groot en fijn matras en katoenen lakens). Het personeel is alleraardigst en het eten heerlijk. En weinig verkeer in de straten rondom het hotel.

Heel fijn hotel dichtbij vliegveld
Pros:

Heel prettig hotel, grote kamer, uitstekend bed, goed verduisterende gordijnen, prima badkamer, heel vriendelijk personeel. Heel rustig gelegen, maar toch veel leven in de omgeving.

Cons:

Wel wat vliegtuig lawaai, maar er zijn gelukkig geen nachtvluchten.

Beyond expectations in all aspects. 😊🥰😊
Pros:

Everything- monastery, yoga, meals, room service, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, fabulous management and staff, super clean and comfortable, nothing was too hard, genuinely kind.

Cons:

There was nothing to dislike about this property, the management, or anything about it. We cannot fault it and if we did return to Kathmandu at some stage which is possible that is exactly where I would return to. Highly recommend it!

Mixed feelings. But I loved the place.
Pros:

The whole place is fantastic. I’m pretty sure it’s one of the best hotels in Katmandu. The shrine on hotel’s territory attracts events and celebrations daily and we could watch ceremonies live. On the other hand, the restaurant offers enough space for ceremonies and for guests. The restaurant itself is a gem offering Tibetan cuisine. Top choice, even if you don’t stay in the hotel.

Cons:

The idea of renovating a rooftop with guests living in the building was not really the best. I complained about people working right in front of my window and reception kindly upgraded my stay to a room in a second building. So my 9 stars go to the upgraded room. For 10 the room service should be improved.

If I had to stay in the first room, the rating would go down to 6-7. The standard rooms have stained walls, unfixed shower walls, and lack of space for almost everything.

To conclude: you should follow the airport timetable with your sleeping schedule. Sleep between 23:15 and 7:15

Pros:

I stayed two nights at Dolmaling Hotel, a former monastery now supporting monks. The rooms are clean and tidy, everything works well (including heaters), and the restaurant service is good. All staff are polite and helpful. What truly impressed me was the honesty—at checkout, the manager Mr. Bikash Gautam proactively reviewed my bill and corrected an overcharge without me noticing. Rare integrity that truly reflects Buddhist values. Highly recommended.
