    Very nice boutique hotel with a beautiful tropical garden in the centre courtyard. Service was very good. One issue needs attention. The towels are of poor quality and needs urgent replacement.

    Kathmandu city is chaotic with traffic and dusty roads and atmosphere in April. However Thrive Hotel is unique with trees,plants surrounding its environment. Lots of greenery in its courtyard. It’s like staying in a light jungle. The staff is super courteous prividing good services.Very clean and fresh . Highly recommended.

    The hotel itself is beautiful set-up in the middle of the bustling Thamel area. The staff were friendly and always willing to assist. The room was really clean, the bed was comfortable, bathroom with really good shower and sufficient amenities. The breakfast was really good as well. All in all, I would highly recommend this hotel

    Hotel thrive is an excellent place to spend a few days of your vacay in Nepal. It’s strategically located 2 min walking distance from Thamel, the buzzing town of Kathmandu. This keeps you close to all the fun and maintains a sweet distance from the drama and noises. Hotel staff is so polite and knowledgeable, from the front desk Sudarshan to the house keeping staff, all works there with a passion. Breakfast is excellent, kudos to the chef at the attached restaurant, mostly continental and south Asian combo everyday. They have a multigym and a beautiful terrace with a clear view of Swayambhu temple, where i do my yoga every morning. The restaurant closes early by 9pm, but there are 2 good places to eat outside if needed. And the local taxi stand is right outside, so no need to wait for a taxi. Over all a good place to stay if you are in Kathmandu

    should supply enough drinking water in the room. Price of the food should be reconsider. Should have few more continental and other food items in menu.

    Enjoyed the nice environment there. Room was neat and clean with all modern facilities. Food was bit pricy but mouthwatering. Stuff were very professional.. very much Recommended.

    Had the Ayurveda massage and there was nothing specially or genuinely Ayurveda included. It was just another massage. I had to leave early morning for a flight and breakfast wasn't open until 7:00. A packed croissant and fruit would have been appreciated. Perhaps I should have asked. Driving from the airport through the narrow, seedy streets of the old city I was a bit shocked about the location, but then we drove into Hotel Thrive and it was wonderful. So not bad at all!!

    Excellent location, very convenient to Durbar Square, former Palace, Peace Garden, Monkey Temple and Thamel. I walked everywhere. The courtyard garden was an oasis and I had trees and birds outside my window. Staff were very friendly, courteous and helpful. Breakfast was very good. Chiya Nepali tea was excellent and the spicy pumpkin soup was outstanding.

    I have been travelling regularly to Kathmandu for more than 20 years and this is by far the best hotel I have every stayed !! The hotel is well designed , is set back from the street so it’s super quiet , has a beautiful courtyard garden , great size room with a comfy bed and a shower that works ! All the staff were friendly and attentive. I can not fault this property in any way, and it’s a little bit out of the craziness of Thamel , which I like . I will be back 🙏

    I can't think of anything.

    I cannot speak too highly of this hotel. We loved that right outside was a large busy area of shops selling a range of goods at non-tourist prices (as long as you bartered!) Inside the hotel the courtyard is really like a tropical oasis – trees and plants everywhere, a soothing waterfall, very calm. We couldn’t hear the hustle and bustle from the streets. The facilities and presentation of the hotel were similar to a 4* hotel in England. They provided a good supply of bottled water. There was an amazing choice in the buffet style breakfast of hot and cold foods for all tastes. The restaurant in the evening had a good choice, very reasonably priced. The general cleanliness in the room and the hotel was exceptional. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. They helped us arrange a couple of trips. There is an ATM right outside the hotel too.

    Everything. Special thank you to my waiter Sunil. He was prompt, professional and made excellent recommendations for foods to eat every night. This hotel was probably the best hotel I've stayed at for 4 nights anywhere in the world let alone South Asia.

    Noisy guests in the courtyard, which doubled as a smoking area. Some kind of notice asking guests to be respectful of others by keeping noise to a minimum might have helped, but some folk would probably take no notice anyway! The sound was sometimes clearly audible in our room which faced the courtyard. When other guests were quiet, the courtyard was a lovely place to sit, with the birds and the waterfall providing a welcome contrast to the noise and bustle of Thamel just outside the gates.

    The tropical courtyard was a real pleasure. The restaurant served a good variety of food and even cooked something to order for us, which we appreciated. Staff were attentive, polite and helpful, always eager to serve the customer. Definitely recommended, and good value for the tourist wanting a bit of luxury at an affordable price.

    We traveled as a group of four friends and had an incredible stay at Thrive Hotel! The location is perfect—within walking distance of Thamel. The staff and manager are extremely helpful and friendly; everyone greets you with a smile and makes you feel special. We enjoyed the hotel restaurant, bar, and spa services. Additionally, the hotel assisted us in organizing trips, tickets, and taxis at preferential rates, including private drivers, tourist guides, and mountain flights. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone—10/10! True masters of hospitality. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
