Nirvana Boutique Hotel

The garden is so nice

Staying at Nirvana Boutique Hotel in Thamel, Kathmandu was a delightful experience. The property is stunning, with a beautiful garden that offers a peaceful retreat amidst the vibrant Thamel atmosphere. Despite its central location, the hotel remains a tranquil oasis. The breakfast was fantastic, offering a great start to each day, and the room was extremely comfortable. The staff were incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Kathmandu.

Amazing garden and staff

The property is conveniently located in the Thamel neighborhood so you have all of the backpacker and tourist shops around. They do not have a travel agent on the premises, but those are only a few steps outside the gate. The guys at the desk and security will give you inflated prices for things, so take their advice with that knowledge in mind. The room was rather small and the outlets were a little loose. The plugs kept falling out. The room was clean but cramped. There was little space to move, but that was fine, as I only spent about two waking hours in the space over two or three nights. Enough time to shower and get dressed. Breakfast was serviceable. They had meat, sometimes. The garden area was nice and quiet. It is a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of the neighborhood once you walk out into the streets. There is a view from the top floor where you can sit out and watch the sunrise or sunset. The neighborhoods are walkable. Swoyambhu Mahachaitya was about a 25-minute walk, and Durban Square was ten minutes. Taxi drivers do not like the hotel because it is on a one-way street, but if you use the Dom Himalaya address, it's much easier. The two hotels are physically connected through a small but accessible door. Use Pathao to get the price before you ask the security to get a taxi. Pathao was about 375 Rupee to the airport but the security will take you to a waiting taxi that charges 500-700.

The hotel totally forgot about the airport pick up. Act like nothings happened. Ended up we hv to get a taxi from airport.

Really enjoyed our second stay at the Nirvana Boutique. Great location in Thamel, great service from great staff and very comfortable accommodation

This was a magical place as soon as we pulled into the drive. It felt like sanctuary in the middle of a bustling city. My room was so beautifully decorated and that decor flowed consistently throughout the entire place. The included breakfast was amazing. Large diverse spread to include an omelette station. And the large garden patio was magical with the lush foliage, strings of small white lights and flowing waterfall pond. I will never stay anywhere else in Thamel.

Worst Bathroom I have ever seen. Hair everywhere, dirty and continuous power blackouts. Avoid it at all costs if u r not a backpacker seeking something to spend a few days. The Garden is great though I must admit. Drinks are very expensive for Kathmandu standards
