    We had a lovely stay at Hotel Yambu! The staff are excellent, kind and very helpful. We needed to see a dr and a staff member walked with us to get to the hospital which we were so grateful for as we aren’t familiar with the area. They went above and beyond and were happy to assist with anything we needed. The hotel is in a great location, only a short walk to Thamel shopping/restaurant area. There is an ATM close by and we were able to order taxis to the hotel with ease. Breakfast is also available at the hotel and is yummy. We really loved our stay and will be back!

    Hotel Yambu is a very comfortable hotel in the centre of Thamel, close to ATMs , good restaurants, trekking stores and pretty much everything you need is close by. The owner Raj is an excellent host and organised our flight to Lukla, our phone sm cards and banking necessities. We couldn’t be happier with our stay there and will return after our trek to EBC. Do yourself a favour and stay at this excellent hotel,

    The hotel offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere with friendly staff, a comfortable room, and enjoyable food. My stay was pleasant overall, though I did encounter a minor issue with the bathroom as the water drained slowly in the bathtub. However, this did not take away from the overall positive experience.

    This was our first hotel in Nepal, and it was amazing. They arranged a pick up from the airport, so after our flight it was a smooth travel to their hotel. Once there we were welcomed with smiles and such kindness. In the morning there was a nice breakfast. No question was too much for them, information on Kathmandu, hikes, buses..you name it they could help. The rooms were also great and you could have a nice warm shower. There was a kettle in the room and if you did not feel like taking the stairs, there is an elevator to your service 😉 The morning we took our 7 am bus they even made us breakfast before serving hours and they made sure we caught the bus from the right place. The whole experience of our first stay made that on our multiple stops in Kathmandu we came back to Yambu, because it was a home away from home. Thanks to everybody who made our stays so great!

    I had an excellent stay at Hotel Yambu. It was my first time in Nepal so I didn’t know what to expect, but from start to finish everything was great. The communication with Raj before I arrived was clear and efficient, the free airport pickup made the journey so much easier, and then when I arrived at the hotel I was greeted by absolutely lovely staff, Aakash and Roshan. Everyone at Hotel Yambu is so helpful and friendly, they make it feel like a home. The rooms are clean, basic but comfortable, the shower pressure is amazing and the hot water works well. The air conditioning works for hot and cold temperatures. There’s free breakfast too. And Raj was very helpful in booking me a comfortable bus to Pokhara, and allowed me to leave most of my luggage in their storage room while I travel. The location is perfect, located in Thamel but not super loud or busy. It was within walking distance of lots of shops, restaurants, and some of the big sightseeing spots. Thanks for a lovely stay, I will definitely be back ☺️ I can highly recommend Hotel Yambu!

    Everything was great. The room and bed were super comfortable and the staff were all very friendly and kind. They quickly made me feel at home. The airport pickup (for free) was a great touch, and also the option to exchange money. Warmly recommended!

    There was nothing to dislike.

    A home away from home. This place is a prime example of where one can still receive 5 star hospitality without staying in a 5 star hotel. I was provided free pickup from the airport and to my next hotel. Breakfast was simple and yet delicious. And you can eat as much as you like. Food is served fresh from the kitchen. Every hotel staff are so friendly. Even the manager was checking on each guest during breakfast to ensure that they were satisfied with their meals and stay.

    It was a bit cold in the room at the beginning of March. Some construction going on on the 6th floor but we stayed at the first so it didn't bother us.

    We got a big room with three beds, good wifi, very good breakfast, free coffee and tea all day available. Good location close to Thamel but not at a busy street. Nice roof top terrace Best was the free pick-up at the airport included in the room price
