The friendliest staff ever”

If this hotel still has got vacant rooms - just book it! This was my first ever visit to Kathmandu and I didn't know much about the city. Booking Kathmandu Eco Hotel, right in the middle of Thamel, was an excellent choice. I was picked up from a chaotic airport and when I arrived at the hotel I felt at home at ones. It has only been running for around six months, the rooms are clean, the bathroom fresh, there is 24-hours hot water and is simply great value. There is a roof top with a wonderful view and a restaurant by the reception with really great food (I had the best momos ever and the thalli was yummy) and home baked buns and pastries. But most of all I will remember the hotel for its friendliness. Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly, I got excellent tips and booked one trip to Nagarkot and Bakthapur through them - I trip I warmly recommend for anyone who wants to get out of the city for half a day. So if you plan to go to Kathmandu, this is an excellent choice! As a tour-guide I travel a lot, I stay in many different hotels, thanks to the Eco staff I loved my days in Kathmandu and will for sure be back - again :)

100% recommend - excellent hotel, fantastic staff!”

I enjoyed my stay at Kathmandu Eco Hotel so much that I rebooked a room for when I returned from from my trek! The staff are fantastic - very attentive and caring, willing to go out of their way to assist us. One of the ladies even took my friend and I to the local orphanage on her day off, and gave us a tour of the local business hub. If that is not going above and beyond the call of duty I don't know what is! We were greeted my the owner of the hotel on our arrival, and offered complimentary rooftop yoga/meditation classes in addition to our room (as they were trialling this service and appreciated our feedback on the class, which was also a great way to start the day!) On our return to the hotel post-trek, we were informed that due to unseen circumstances they had overbooked the hotel, but had a room available in their sister hotel that we could stay in for one night, before being move back to KCH. The service at the other hotel was equally fantastic and we were certainly well looked after. I would definitely recommend Kathmandu Eco Hotel to anyone visiting Thamel!

Amazing hotel at the heart of Thamel”

I had a pleasant and wonderful 1-week stay at this hotel. I felt safe staying at this hotel. The staff are friendly, attentive and helpful. The hotel manager provided me with useful tips and information (via e-mail) prior to my arrival. He actually waited for more than 2 hours at the airport (due to late arrival time and long queue at the visa counter) to pick me up. The room and toilet are spacious and clean, as well as wi-fi. Even though it's winter, hot shower is available any time throughout the day. The hotel has back-up electricity supply, thus is not affected by the frequent black-out in Kathmandu (fyi, power interruption is very common in Kathmandu). The TV cable has a number of English movie channels, HBO, Star Movies, etc. The buffet breakfast is good. I also normally have my meals at the hotel restaurant has it has a variety of local, indian, chinese and western cuisines. The food is also reasonably priced. There is a balcony at the top floor with tables and chairs, hence, you could request your food to be served there. Good view of the city from the balcony and Syambunath Temple can also be seen. The hotel is located at the heart of Thamel, shopping is very convenient. The hotel is also within walking distance to Garden of Dreams, National Palace Museum, Kathmandu Dubar Square and Syambunath Temple. I would strongly recommend this hotel especially for first-timers to Kathmandu. I would certainly stay in this hotel again on my next trip to Kathmandu.

An outstanding place to start in Nepal.”

I was drawn to this hotel by the name Eco. It was a wonderful place to start from and come back to. The manager helped me plan a trekking trip that met all my eco dreams. I had a fabulous guide through the hotel who took me on a three night four day trek through the hill villages of the Kathmandu Valley. The manger of the hotel kept in touch with me daily. My extra gear was stored for me while I was away. On my return I was treated to a wonderful dinner at a local restaurant with an ethnic dance show. The hotel has very friendly staff. There is a good restaurant on the ground floor serving both Nepalese food and international food. The hotel is centrally located in the busy shopping area of Thamel where one can buy the most amazing range of Nepalese items. The staff will organise sight seeing for you or you can step out the door and get a rickshaw or taxi easily. Thanks to exceptional attention from this hotel I had an outstanding stay in Nepal. I intend to return. .

Best Service Hotel, Ever!!!”

Known this hotel from my bestie, but you know what... I really had a wonderful experience since we stay at this hotel... I lost my phone on the plane when i arrived at Tribuvan Airport, awaiting for my bestie then I called the hotel to pick us up around in the middle of the night. And then the next day I decided to buy a new smartphone at Kathmandu. I was asking the lady at the front desk and also the guy who always helped us in a good way, and the manager also, about it, and the lady gave me the number of person who will helped me to get a new one, and i got it in a different way... You know what... They served us with a good service. Helped us a lot and I love them very much... you won't regret it... They will give the best experience while you stay at Kathmandu Eco Hotel...

Very nice hotel in Thamel”

We stay in Kathmandu Eco was just two relaxing days after Tibet trip. It was real relief after China and Tibet - hotel staff was English speaking and very friendly and helpful. Hotel was clean and well-equipped. Breakfast was more suitable for European again, food was delicious and a great choice. Only small shortage of our stay in this hotel was our room situated on sixth floor without elevator. Last nice surprise was free shuttle to airport. We recommend Eco in Kathmandu for everyone, especially for backpackers like we were.

i'm flight attendant and i used to travel all around the world and stay in different hotels,so i particularly recommend in center thamel in kathmandou the eco hotel.location is perfect,not isolated in a more quiet part of thamel.it's a secure hotel accessible to main places and easy to find.they picked you from airport for free.we stayed with my friend at the 4th floor room with a double bed very comfortable and a single bed with a/c,a small flat tv,and a clean bathroom with 24 hours hot water free wifi include in the price.all staff of this hotel and the owner are very helpful,polite,friendly,professional and generous.i was very surprised by the quick response to costumer requests.the staff is brillant. they make sure every thing is ok.there is a nice rooftop with a wonderful view and a good restaurant with a great buffet breakfast.after the trekking to pokara we decided to return to eco hotel.we test the suite room,the stupa room,located on the 6th floor on the rooftop and every thing was perfect.believe me staying in this hotel is fantastic.it's worth 4 stars.

Amazing hotel”

Tge staff in this hotel make you feel like a part of family, kocated in Thamel but still very quite in evening sp you can sleep, great internet connection and very nice rooms, amazing roof top area overlooking the Kathmandu. We are coming back in fue days and we will stay again in Kathmandu Eco Hotel.

Great hotel, Staff extremely helpful and polite ”

The Staff of the hotel and owner Raj are all very helpful and polite which made my stay a memorable one. The Staff are very helpful in making whatever arrangements one requires and in my case booking a flight to Pokahara on the airlines I wanted at a discounted price compared to what was available on line. The hotel is centrally located in the Thamel area of Kathmandu, close to shopping and points of interest and a 20 minute walk from Durbar Square. The hotel rooms are large, clean and quiet and are cleaned daily. The AC unit in the rooms can be used to heat the rooms when cold which made my stay more comfortable. The buffet breakfast which was included in the price of the room was very good and sufficient to see me through lunch. Will certainly recommend this hotel to my friends.

Excellent Staff, Good Choice”

I chose this hotel on reviews + price and was very happy with the result. Eco Hotel is a class above the other hotels I stayed in Nepal due to the caring and helpful staff and overall professionalism of the operation. Rooms are clean (and cleaned well daily), bathrooms fittings work, hot water is 24 hours and they have a generator that operates for every power outage. Internet works as well as anywhere but better than most places. Breakfast is a good mixed buffet, varied each day and with good coffee. The stand out are the staff - all genuine, friendly and knowledgeable without the usual mantra of selling trekking or other services. I recommend the Eco and will happily stay again.

Great central location and excellent staff”

We stayed at the Kathmandu Eco Hotel at the beginning and end of our trip to Nepal. The hotel put on complimentary transport to and from the airport and were extremely helpful during our stay. Our rooms was very spacious and clean but, due to power shortages across the city, there was usually a lack of hot water to have a shower (not the hotels fault). We would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again.

great location,fantastic service,brand new hotel”

We stayed for 3 days at kathmandu eco hotel.the reception service are good.the best part are the hotel only 1 month old,so everything are new. The buffet breakfast are good and they change the menu everyday. We stayed at 4th floor front room,and we can't hear the noise even the hotel located on the main road.Only setback is the wifi only at lobby or maybe 1st or 2nd floor. The hotel have 6th floor and roof top garden.The room that we stayed have a double bed and a single bed. The room have a/c, a small flat TV and 24hr hot water. And the best part are I am the first customer to booked thru internet.

Great restaurant very attentive and helpful staff ”

We booked 4 night through Agoda but ended up staying here for the rest of our vacation in Kathmandu. We felt safe staying at this hotel. The staff are very friendly, attentive and helpful. The hotel manager helped and arranged travels to other places for us in Nepal, which made it easy and comfortable for us. He also regularly checked with our driver to make sure everything is going okay. We also highly recommend the Hotel restaurant which serves both Nepalese food and international food. It offers a good variety of breakfast and service nice meals until 10pm. The hotel is centrally located in the busy shopping area of Thamel and very convenient to go for sightseeing.

Perfect place for a quiet stay in Kathmandu”

It is not easy to find a good place to stay in Kathmandu, especially in the area of Thamel. I found this place on the internet and i have to say that i am very happy with it. The manager Bimal took me personally at the airport at 11pm (my flight was 1 hour late)and explained me everything as soon as my arrival. Then he arranged me everything with the other manager to make this trip in Nepal awesome: good recommendation on what to visit, trekking, where to have a drink in Thamel, everything. When i was off to Pokhara, the team kept almost all my belongings (including one computer) and i found everything perfectly when i was back in Kathmandou. The room are very nice, good value for price. I will definitely stay there again.

Service with a smile”

Our stay at the Kathmandu Eco Hotel was quite delightful, the staff are not only pleasant but more than helpful. The location is excellent, being close to the bus station, close to a variety of restaurants and within 15 minutes walking distance from Durbar Square. We are looking forward to returning there in a few days time.

Amazing service and location”

So I took advantage of the free airport pickup service and I flew into Kathmandu, but getting past immigration and finally getting my luggage basically took me over an hour and a half. I was sure the driver must have left, but nope, sure enough in the cold, he was waiting for me. This kind of service with a smile is basically what I got throughout my whole stay. It was incredible. The hotel restaurant was fantastic and yes they have a backup generator, wifi and hot showers. The only sticking point, which isn't the hotel's fault but more to do with Thamel, dogs bark constantly at night. So if you're a light sleeper, it's a bit hard. And when I had to extend, they were completely booked but were able to help match my rate into their sister hotel, which just opened. Seriously, location cannot be beat and the service is top notch.

Good hotel, good staff”

We have stayed 9 different hotels/guest houses since our stay in Nepal. Our favourite has been kathmandu eco hotel. The best staff and good breakfast. You probably won't get better for the price.

The location is good and the staff are attentive.”

We were met by the Owner of the Hotel MR. Raj at the airport. He is friendly and able to give us appropriate information about Kathmandu. He arranged a van for us to the Domestic airport next day. However he initially quoted us NRS 600 for five of us, but the next day he sent an outsider Van and wanted us to pay NRS1000. We made a fuss and argued with him outside the hotel where finally he gave up and asked us to pay NRS700 to the driver and told us that he would not pick us from the Domestic airport on our day of return from Pokhara to Kathmandu. He caught us by surprise that he shown up at the Domestic airport to send us to Hotel and never charged us anything. The overall stay in Hotel is pleasant. However one of our room is at fifth floor, and my friends are not happy with the climbing up each time to the room when we were tire after shopping. So I raise up to the receptionist, they are helpful enough to change to a lower floor room to us. I would recommend this hotel to traveller who just want to have bargain and basic room when you travel to Kathmandu. It is consider Clean and Basic for a Third world country hotel.

Great Thamel location”

This hotel is perfectly located for checking out the sights of the Thamel district. The rooms are generously sized. Try to get a room facing the street (room numbers ending in 4 & 5) so you can take in all the activity going on below. Also has a lovely roof top terrace garden which is great for watching the sun set over Kathmandu.

Great Hotel in a Superb Location”

We recently stayed at the Kathmandu Eco Hotel prior and after a trek in the Annapurna area. The hotel is extremely well located, comfortable and extremely good value. Highly Recommended!!
