    Had a such great stay on business trip, glad I've chosen it. Got twin/double room with high floors as well as garden view as expected. The location was marvellous, just a short stroll away from Lewes Priory Park. The staff was good and lovely, so I would stay here again.

    Review for Potala Guest House, Kathmandu:

    The staff were energetic from arrival to departure. This hotel is ideally located in a central area, making it easy to access numerous eateries and shops. There's a lovely cafe nearby that serves fantastic Western food, and you're just a short walk from the vibrant center of Thamel. I was pleasantly surprised by the nearby Carafe Coffee Roasters, which offers delicious goodies and drinks.

    The rooms are impressive and huge, with extremely comfy beds. The setting is good and magnificent, close to the centre of Thamel as well as rent all the trek essentials from nearby shops.

    Everything great.

    I chose to stay at Potala Guest House in Thamel because it was located near Kathmandu Durbar Square, which I really wanted to visit. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff and their excellent service. The central location of the hotel was also very convenient, allowing me to easily explore the popular entertainment and shopping neighborhood. The sunny rooftop terrace with magnificent mountain views was a delightful bonus that added to the overall experience.

    Water kettle not in room.

    The guesthouse has a rooftop garden, a restaurant with delicious food, and free Wi-Fi. The Ayatana Spa offers a rejuvenating experience for all my senses.

    Oh, how I loved the noise from the busy streets outside my window! It was like having my own personal concert every night.

    The location of the guest house is excellent, right in the center of Thamel. There's a nice cafe attached to the hotel that serves delicious Western food, which is a great advantage for those craving familiar flavors. the guest house is also conveniently close to everything in Thamel, making it easy to explore the area and experience the local culture. the hotel offers a pick, up and drop, off service to KTM airport, saving travelers the hassle of finding transportation. the rooms are spacious and well, maintained, providing a comfortable stay.

    The noise level from the busy streets outside can be a bit overwhelming at times.
