Stayed on two seperate occasions (beginning and end of holiday).First time garden view,second time pool view.I would recomment the garden view as quieter and a better outlook.The main entrance/lobby is quite impressive but the rooms could definitely do with an upgrade.Blown electric light quickly replaced. and super efficient (and cheap) laundry service.All staff very friendly and helpful and rooms clean.Food... more

Firstly, I need to say that we arrived with a VERY open mind about the stay in Kathmandu. However, what we did not expect given previous reviews from various websites, was an' apparent' loss of our booking details and the subsequent move to a very dingy, dusty room on the ground level of this hotel. Interestingly, this incident occurred during... more

very nice and clean hotel for anyone interested in the thamel area and the activities that go along with it. went to one of their restaurants for lunch once and was not impressed at all... not a problem, there is a good Italian place next door (ciaos?) and being next to thamel there were many great places to eat all... more

I stayed at the Malla for a month whilst I was working as a volunteer at a local school. When i first organised the trip I really wasn't bothered about where I stayed, but after a few days I was really glad I choose to stay in a reputable hotel.

The room was clean, however the toilet was not properly sanitized. There was also dirt in the bathtub. Well, our TV was not functioning. The room service didnot pick... more

When we arrived with my newly adopted daughter faces covered with red tint due to it being Holi Day, the front desk were not taken aback but treated us... more

Hotel Malla is in a great location, just 10 mins from the toursity Thamel district and within easy reach of most sights. The rooms are large and comfortable and the lobby is a nice place to sit for a drink or snack. The landscaped gardens are also lovely, with a huge pool if you fancy a swim. The only downside... more

I stayed at the Malla Hotel for 2 nights in June 2008 before moving to a Buddhist monastery in Kathmandu, where I volunteered for a month. To be honest, I usually stay at very high-level, excellent quality hotels and I really did not want to spend too much money in Kathmandu so I chose the Malla Hotel. Overall, the room... more

I stayed at the Malla Hotel at the beginning and end of an Everest region trek. The hotel was very nice and room was good. Bed mattress was very hard, but that was fine for me. The staff is especially good. At the end of the trip, the night before my flight home, I came down with salmonella ( probably... more
