What reviewers say

Guests praise the hotel's lovely staff and convenient location near Thamel Market and a casino, with some finding the facilities and food world-class. However, common complaints include limited starter options at meals and issues with room amenities like diluted toiletries and a lack of mini-refrigerators. Some guests also experienced disturbances from private functions and noise, and one reviewer reported a very negative encounter with an aggressive non-staff member.

About this place The Malla Hotel

The Malla Hotel is a long-established hotel on Lekhnath Marg in central Kathmandu, a short walk from the Thamel backpacker district and near the Narayanhiti Palace Museum. It is set in gardens, which makes it noticeably quieter than the guesthouses in Thamel itself. It is a mainstream hotel listed as gay-friendly, not a gay venue. Google reviewers rate it 4.2 across more than 1,400 reviews. Nepal decriminalised same-sex relations long ago, but the gay scene in Kathmandu is small and mostly informal, with Blue Diamond Society as the main community organisation. Discretion in public is still the norm.

Ask for a room with a view over the pool as this hotel has lots of private functions in the garden and workman prepare during the night.
