Exceptional Stay!
Pros:

I ended up staying at Karma Hotel for 3 days and had a wonderful experience. The room is very nice, clean, and looks brand new. The bathroom is also exceptionally neat and well-maintained. Highly recommend this place for a comfortable stay in Nepal!

Buenas ubicación , habitación y atención.
Pros:

La atención . Tenía incluido desayuno , eran las 7,00 pasadas y me iba pronto al aeropuerto. La cafetera se estrepeo y el jefe mando salir a una cafetería de al lado y me trajeron café con leche . Habitación cómoda y amplia , con baño grande y cómodo. La verdad es que por 13 euros noche un chollo. Ya había estado en Katmandú y al poco de salir del hotel ya renocia las calles recorridas. También si deseas te llaman al taxi para ir al aeropuerto a precio concertado .

Excellent choice to stay in Thamel
Pros:

Very nice, clean and cozy hotel in Thamel. Staying here every time coming to Kathmandu. Now it’s became even better as they renovated some of the rooms. Local management and staff are very friendly, helpful and polite

Cons:

It can be noisy during the nights, but it’s mostly like that in Thamel:)

Pros:

A Wonderful Stay!
I had a fantastic time at this hotel. The location is incredibly accessible, making it so easy to get around. From the moment I arrived, the staff were absolutely wonderful, always friendly, welcoming, and happy to help. The room was spotlessly clean and very comfortable, and the breakfast in the morning was delicious with plenty of great options. Short, sweet, and highly recommended!

Отель с классным хозяином, который во всём помогает
+идеальное расположение среди множества магазинов, кафе и ресторанов. В самом центре!
+за это цену ещё и бесплатный трансфер в аэропорт!

Pros:

Funcionários bem simpáticos, café da manhã bom o café é ótimo...
As Camas confortáveis e limpas...
Uma ótima opção para quem vai a Kathmandu

Cons:

Barulho vindo da rua e dos corredores do hotel.
Água quente acaba rápido no quarto que me hospedei porém a quartos onde o aquecedor é central e melhor.
Internet no primeiro dia quase não funcionou, depois troquei de quarto e ficou ótimo.
Tem aquecedor de água nos quartos mas não tem café nem chá

清潔
Pros:

ロケーション。タメルの中でもオススメの立地。部屋が清潔。お湯が出たし、フロントでドライヤーを借りられた。隣のホテルの中庭に面していたので景色も悪くない。

Cons:

立地が良い分、夜中も交通騒音。ホテルのせいではないが、運転マナーの差なのか、やたらクラクション鳴らす。日中もそうだが、寝ているときに何か事件かと思った。また、階段しかないので荷物が重い人は手伝ってもらったほうがいいかも。5階までひたすら階段で登った。連泊したが、清掃は入らず。水も初日の一本だけ。言えばやってもらえるかもしれないが。
