The stunning Newari Nepalese architecture is a work of art in itself—beautifully designed, peaceful, and full of character.

The food is another highlight—excellent quality, organic, and thoughtfully prepared. Meals feel wholesome and nourishing, and the coffee is genuinely good, which is always a pleasure when traveling.

The location is also very convenient, making it easy to explore the city while still enjoying a calm and serene atmosphere within the hotel.

Overall, Kantipur Temple House is a beautiful blend of traditional elegance, heartfelt hospitality, and comfort. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and memorable stay in Nepal.

Hotel Kantipur Temple House is a truly charming and peaceful hotel in the heart of Thamel. The traditional Newari architecture gives the hotel a unique character, and the rooms are clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff are extremely polite, friendly, and always ready to help. Despite being centrally located, the hotel feels quiet and relaxing. A perfect place to experience Nepali culture while staying comfortably. Highly recommended.

Kantipur Temple House is my choice of accommodation each time I visit Kathmandu. There’s always a relaxing welcome when arriving after the hustle and bustle of the journey from the airport. An oasis amid the chaos, full of nostalgia and ancient charm. The rooftop yoga is an added bonus, highly recommended.

This is my second time staying here, and I'm very satisfied again!
24.11.2025 Anusha
The food at Kantipur Temple House was absolutely delicious, and the place itself is stunning—calm, beautiful, with a true Nepalese feel. The architecture adds so much charm, making it a wonderful experience beyond just dining. Arjun was amazing—very nice and incredibly welcoming, making our visit even more special. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food in a serene, authentic setting.

A quiet & serene Oasis in busy Kathmandu. You can have amazing breakfast in the Garden, there is rooftop yoga in the morning. The staff is incredibly friendly. When I felt rushed, Kantipur Temple House made me feel calm and at home. I can only recommend & i hope that I will be back.
04.11.2025 Valentin
in Thamel but quiet location, which was great for us. Beautiful House and architecture, very friendly staff. Bathrooms are pretty basic (but clean) for the price, rooms are also quite basic but clean. No Bar or any other ammenities apart from breakfast and yoga class at 8am.

It's a budget alternative to the hotel I love. I stayed one night and was particularly struck by how incredibly cold the electric fan was. The hotel is definitely worth experiencing; it's very Nepalese. Although old, it's very clean.
30.09.2025 Guest
Very pleasant and friendly staff member. Helpful. Would gladly use their services again.
03.09.2025 Wusijiyehefula
The old buildings are very distinctive, the small garden is beautiful, the breakfast is good, and the staff are very friendly. The commercial street is just outside the alley.

Best BF and best view in Thamel! Worth to visit.

Nice place with good food
26.05.2017 Shristi
Used to be a great place to hang out and eat good food. Now it's just a long long long flight of stairs for okay food and okay ambience. The view from the top is of Thamel and Kathmandu, but it's not worth climbing all those steps. I do like their breakfast but I still wouldn't wanna climb those steps.
06.05.2017 Mashael
The only reason i give it one star is because the rooftop is beautiful. Otherwise, the food was overwhelmingly spicy even though we asked for specifically nonspicy! And the staff was not receptive to that feedback at all, even though we ate the food and paid :) then told them!

If you want to be transported back to Europe for some classic bread rolls and good coffee, this is the place. If you want to be transported back to Nepal, go visit the toilets :-)

This is a nice little courtyard where you sit in the sun and sip your drink and pretend not to be in Thamel.
24.10.2017 Bernadette
They serve my kind of bread, bakery, and cookies, with reasonable price. Love the taste of their Masala milk tea and hot chocolate. Highly recommended. Too bad I didn't take any pic.
