    I’ve travelled over Nepal for over a month now and have stayed at 8 different hotels (while being on a budget) and I can safely state that Flying Yak has the most fancy-looking and comfortable rooms so far. The staff is really nice too :)

    Only downside is that our room has no street view.

    Clean bathrooms, comfortable bed. Everything is splendid. Air-condition and water heater works well. Room size is quite adequate.

    There was one shower for the dorms so if it gets busier there might be a wait, but if you have time to relax it won't be a problem

    Nice dorm with 6 beds, not too crowded. AC in room so comfortable sleeping. Clean facilities and very friendly and helpful staff. Very good place for breakfast (and other food) next door and you are right in thamel with a lot of shops and bars close by, lots to do!

    Maybe some coffee sachets in the room would be nice.

    Our bus from Lumbini was delayed by 5 hours so we couldn't stay at our original hotel on the other side of town. Arriving at Thamel late we made the decision to book with Flying Yak as we knew exactly what we'd get: clean rooms, reasonable prices,hot shower and great service. Only 1 night this time around but they were as helpful as ever.

    Housekeeping was missing, not sure why as there were cleaning staff on hand, but our room wasn't cleaned in the 3 days we were there. Might be something you have to specifically request.

    We stayed here when they first opened 3 years ago, and booked again when we returned in July 2022. The rooms are big, comfortable, reasonable priced, clean with A/C. Bathroom is better then average, but can do with a shower curtain to control splash-age. The manager Santosh is super helpful and friendly and well connected with local businesses for information. If you're staying here definitely find a few minutes to speak to him. Lastly I wanted to mention that the restaurant next door, Avacado, does really good coffee. Hotel coffee can be hit and miss, so having decent coffee, which can aparently be brought to your room if requested is most welcomed! Recommend!

    none

    The property is new, and the mattresses are among the best I’ve tried in my years of staying in dorms. Air-conditioning is controlled by the guests of the dorm rooms, so one can sleep through morning and afternoon with comfort. Santosh is the manager and he and his staff give good recommendations and tours for Kathmandu and around Nepal. The hotel is in Thamel Road but in a quiet corner. Good location.

    I requested a double bed, but got two single beds. I did not ask for another room, as two single beds was fine for me too. The internet was not as good as I hoped, it was cutting in and out sometimes.

    The staff was polite, the room was in a central location but was still quiet and the room was nicely decorated and clean. The restaurant next door had good food and friendly staff, and the staff of the hotel was helpful in arranging my mandatory covid-test.

    We stayed in the Flying Yak a while ago, but it was definitely unforgettable experience. Their service is exceptional and rooms are very nice and clean and have everything you need. Santosh and everyone working in the hotel took great care of us and went over and beyond when we experienced some health problems. We will love to come back when we’re in Kathmandu.

    Often times there would be a shortage of cold water in the shower ( I know weird ), which was always fixed immediately after contacting the reception. If you decide to get the laundry done at the hotel, make sure to do it early in the morning, otherwise, you will end up paying for a fast wash and that costs a fortune.

    Our room was very comfortable given the price and the location was also perfect and I've stayed in a few places around KTM in the last couple of years.

    The only problems I had is that the room is too small for 6 people, I would expect it to be a room for 4 people (even if the price is a little higher). And, one time the sheets were not clean, but has been changed after I asked to change them.

    I have stayed in the dorms room. It's new , generally clean and very nice hotel. So In general it was good price per performance.

    Only tiny improvement would be to add small tables in the dorm rooms

    I liked the location and staff. Dorms are great, hot showers with soap provided. Dorms have AC and lockers
