"My week stay at this hotel was pleasant. The location is excellent, in the heart of Thamel.
The suite I stayed in was comfortable.
I have only two small criticisms:
The hot water had a very strong and unpleasant smell.
Loud music from the next bar into the morning hours."

"Nivas welcomed me to Nepal with amazing service and their incredibly kind and helpful staff. They went out of their way to ensure my stay was memorable. My room was superb, the food was delicious. I am returning there at the end of my holiday in Nepal and look forward to it already. The neighbourhood was quiet and very gentle with little traffic and a real community feel. I highly recommend you take the time to experience the Nivas Boutique Hotel"

"The staff was excellent. Very helpful with suggestions on places to visit and how to get to the airport etc. area isn’t great, but that is the whole city really"
Aarya Hotel and Spa - Eternal Heritage
10/10 Excellent
"Stayed at Aarya from 10/11/2025 - 10/19/2025. A unique visit in the heart of Thamel. The rooms were clean and cozy. The staff was more than accommodating and always with a smile. The variety of foods offered for breakfast was an experience in itself. We were able to walk from the hotel to many popular sites and the location was convenient for tour pickups. We visited during Diwali and the Aarya presented a show of native dances and music. Also, if anyone is debating visiting Nepal after the recent protests, I personally felt safer on the streets of Nepal than the United States."
