Dalai-La Boutique Hotel

I enjoyed Dalai la's integration and support of local artists. They have set aside part of their dining space as an impromptu gallery, allowing artists to present work and meet visitors and tourists. Dalai La also is part of Nepal 2020 tourisim campaign and had three giant 'Yeti' sculptures on display in their courtyard. Really fun place!

Comfortable, great food and amazing location

Wonderful hotel. The exterior is especially magnificent. And the hotel is full of world-class artwork by local artists. Restaurant is top shelf. Be sure to try the Nepalese thali. Only small strike against is that the courtyard can get a little loud at night. But this is Thamel. If you are a light sleeper, you will need earplugs at any hotel is this area. 100% recommend staying here.

A hidden gem in Thamel, Kathmandu. A nice courtyard to relax in and good food and service. Felt safe here. The room was nice and clean. We had a large room with a seating area. Really enjoyed the courtyard.

Everything about the hotel was great! Lovely room and excellent breakfast from the menu. Staff was helpful and service excellent. Will definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

The hotel is well-situated in the tourist area of Kathmandu. Great customer service and clean room. I would have appreciated a refrigerator in the room, but not a deal breaker. One of the best breakfasts I've had at a small hotel. Overall a good experience.

An excellent quite oasis in the midst of the Thamel district with notable sites in easy walking distance. Food and bar is excellent.

Really like this hotel - The rooms in the ‘new’ building are my favorite. Very clean. Staff are very attentive and friendly. Good breakfast included too. A few little fixes here and there maybe required ( showerhead in 303 needs attention - but he water was HOT ! ) It’s in a great location in Thamel ( right next to the best little bar in thamel - Sam’s Bar ) walkable to Durban Square - Garden of Dreams etc and about 500 Rupees taxi to the main temple / stupa sites It may be a little overpriced - but I’ll be staying here again on my next trip to Kathmandu ! Thanks again Dalai La !!

I was given room on the 4th floor where there is no lift. It was tough to walk up specially. Room was clean and fairly good size however the hot water in shower was extremely hot I was burnt several times even though it was mixed with maximum cold water. Staffs were friendly and polite and they all speak very good English.

Great boutique hotel in a perfect location. Cute cozy rooms, friendly staff, great live music on the weekends. Skip the spa.
