Vastu Boutique Hotel  

In the heart of Thamel, Kathmandu — tucked down a quiet cul-de-sac but right in the city center. This boutique hotel and bed & breakfast sits minutes from key sights: about a 3-minute drive to Kathmandu Durbar Square, 6 minutes to Pashupatinath Temple, roughly 0.3 miles from Kathesimbhu Stupa and about 3.8 miles from Boudhanath.

Just 15 rooms give the place an intimate, boutique vibe. Rooms are air-conditioned and feature ensuite bathrooms with rainfall showerheads, LED TVs, slippers, desks and coffee/tea makers. Daily housekeeping keeps things fresh, and an elevator makes upper floors easy to reach.

Grab a nightcap at the on-site bar, book local excursions at the tour desk, or arrange transfers and a roundtrip airport shuttle (available 24 hours for a surcharge). Other practical perks include complimentary Wi‑Fi, 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, laundry and dry-cleaning, an on-site ATM, ironing, and concierge services.

Complimentary wireless internet and in-room desks make short work trips workable. Front-desk staff can assist with transfers and tour/ticket arrangements.

A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM, and the hotel’s bar offers a casual spot to unwind. Thamel’s diverse restaurants are steps away for authentic Nepali and regional flavors.
