We enjoyed our stay at this lovely establishment. The staff was very attentive and kind. The restaurant was very good and we appreciate the fact that they source organically and locally. The premises and accommodations themselves were what attracted us in the first place, as you feel you are in a different era, being constructed in a beautiful historical style. Very special vibe! We highly recommend the Kantipur Temple House as a rarity amidst all the hotels in the Thamel area.

Amazing Building, Fantastic Staff

I had a really great stay here. First, the building is amazing. Staying in a beautiful setting like this really added to my experience in Kathmandu. Second, the staff is great. From thoroughly cleaning my room each day (more than is typical at a hotel) to making sure my bed was heated at night, they were attentive to all my needs. Third, the breakfast buffet was great. They also augmented it with some Nepali cuisine cooked to order. The only negative is that I seemed to have an allergic reaction to something in the room that caused me to sneeze quite a bit.

The Kantipur Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, stands as an architectural testament to the rich cultural and religious heritage of the region. Renowned for its intricate design and historical significance, the temple attracts visitors seeking to explore the intricacies of Nepalese craftsmanship and spirituality. Its well-preserved structure and serene ambiance contribute to a meaningful cultural experience for those interested in the religious tapestry of Kathmandu.

Kantipur Temple House is a hidden gem in the Thames district of Kathmandu. Painstakingly reproduced Nepalese architecture from a bygone era. Hugely spacious and comfortable rooms. Many small alcoves to enjoy delicious Chai Masala. The food is organic and exquisite. Yoga on the rooftop. The staff goes above and beyond every expectation that I had. Unexpectedly, I met the owner one day at the front door - and we shared stories for nearly an hour. Forget the higher priced places. Kantipur Temple House is far better at half the price. When I return to Kathmandu, the only place I will consider staying is Kantipur Temple House. A big thank you from me to everyone at Kantiour the made my stay so enjoyable

Hotel war gut, aber das Preis Leistungsverhältnis stimmte leider nicht. 120 Euro für Zwei Personen Pro Nacht ist für Nepal viel zu viel. Dafür muss ein außergewöhnliches Hotel geboten werden. Das war es trotz aller Bemühungen des Personals leider nicht.

Kantipur Temple House is a great place to base yourselves when exploring Kathmandu. The staff are very accommodating and the rooms are spacious. The city is dusty and noisy but only a little of both finds it’s way into the rooms. Good breakfast and we would commend this hotel for all that they are doing to minimise plastics etc. Hot water bottles in your beds in the evening is a very welcoming start to a good nights sleep.

飯店很漂亮但是服務跟叫的司機不太OK

飯店超級漂亮環境很好 是尼泊爾傳統建築 但是接待大廳有個高高戴眼鏡的男生態度很不OK 常常臉很臭愛理不理 其他人到是很和善 還有我每次叫車的時候 跟飯店合作的司機超級不OK 都不講好價錢一直要我出價就說妳知道價格 就跟我耗在那邊 我是真的不知道價錢 兩次都這樣一次是去大佛塔一次是去機場 一直很可怕的要我開價 還說妳要懂得給予跟出價錢 我不出價他就一直不說 我覺得這點真的很不OK也很可怕 一次就算但是兩次叫車都是同一個司機 代表司機就是跟飯店有合作關係或是就是可以停在門口的司機 但是因為這漂亮優閒的建築物跟環境 我如果之後還會去尼泊爾還是會住 沒有空調但是很涼爽

Beautiful but lacking

This hotel is really beautiful. If you’re looking for that perfect Instagram pic you’ll definitely get it here. Great location, helpful staff. However, a few things you need to know. It’s an “eco” hotel- there’s no AC or heat. No TV. And it’s dark. Like, you can’t get ready or see in your room at night. The bulbs in the room were 5 watts- we literally almost went out and bought new light bulbs when we stayed here. It’s just... odd. The bathrooms are also pretty spartan but whatever- you’re in Nepal. Overall a beautiful property but a few small tweaks would really push it over the top and make it fabulous instead of just okay.
