Pros:

I stayed at Karma hotel for 2 days during my trip, and it was a wonderful experience. The hotel is located right in the heart of Thamel Market, which is a vibrant and happening area with plenty of shops, restaurants, and attractions within walking distance.

The rooms are spacious, clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The overall ambiance of the hotel is excellent, and the breakfast was delicious..

What truly made my stay exceptional was the outstanding hospitality of the owner and staff. I accidentally left my bag on a bus, and they went above and beyond to help me locate and recover it. Thanks to their sincere efforts and kindness, I got my bag back. I am extremely grateful for their support.

I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Thamel. Great location, comfortable rooms, excellent food, and truly exceptional service!

Cons:

Nothing

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:)
