About this place Hotel Karma

Hotel Karma is a mid‑priced stop in Paknajol, the quieter northern edge of Kathmandu’s Thamel district. The building sits just a few minutes’ walk from Thamel’s restaurants and shops, yet it feels removed from the street‑level noise that dominates the core of the area. It isn’t marketed as a gay hotel, but it’s listed as gay‑friendly and carries a 4.8 rating from more than 300 guests. Morning meals happen on a rooftop terrace, where you can watch the city wake up. On clear days the upper rooms frame the surrounding hills, a reminder that Kathmandu isn’t flat. There’s no dedicated gay bar scene in Nepal, so the real advantage here is simple: a central base where a same‑sex couple can check in without a second glance.

Amazing location in Thamel, down a side street so it’s a bit quieter. You have cafes, every store stand possible - souvenir, trekking, tour operators, yoga, sound healing and restaurants right around the hotel. So convenient and the team was super helpful, always refilling my water bottle and carried my giant heavy bag to the fifth floor for me bc they don’t have an elevator. AC worked great and was a nice upgrade from the other non AC rooms I’ve had in KTM. Thank you for the great stay!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended – super clean and well-maintained!I had a great 3-day stay at Karma Hotel in Nepal. The rooms are fantastic—very nice, clean, and they honestly look brand new. I was also thoroughly impressed by the bathroom, which was kept neat and tidy throughout my stay. It is clear that the staff maintains the property really well. It was a very comfortable experience, and I would definitely stay here again!
