The Malla Hotel

My memory of this hotel is sitting in its cool and quite garden and being able to work on my laptop in the fresh air owing to its good Wi-Fi. The garden is full of birds and I had an owl outside my window every morning. The staff are very attentive especially the doormen, bellmen and receptionists.

Convenient meals around. The staff is polite and the smile is nice. Location was good. Overall it was a very satisfactory hotel.

I was part of a National Geographic Trip that stayed at this hotel at the beginning and again at the end of our trip. I really liked this hotel. The people are exceedingly friendly and the location is PERFECT for lots of restaurants, shopping, and attractions. The rooms are generously sized and they have a lovely turn down service. The grounds are truly lovely and outdoor space is a nice area of peace and tranquility in the middle of the busy city. The pool is also very nice. I enjoyed it one afternoon. I had a short foot massage by the pool and enjoyed it so much that I signed up for a 90 minute whole body massage. It was WONDERFUL. Part of the massage was pouring warm oil over my head. A LOT of oil. I have never had a massage like that and I really enjoyed it. Lastly, the food is really good at the restaurant. The breakfast is a large buffet with lots of choices. Part of our group ate dinner there our first night in Nepal and we really enjoyed it. We wanted to eat outside, so they not only set up tables for us, they had an electrician come and set up some lights for us! The service was incredible. At the end of our trip, we had two final nights at the Malla and it felt like coming home. Hopefully we'll be back in Kathmandu someday, and we will stay at the Malla!

This was my second visit to the Malla Hotel. I liked it so much the first time; I was eager to return. The staff is the best feature. They are so eager to please, making the stay so pleasant. The rooms facing the garden offer a beautiful view of a well-kept lawn with flowers in bloom.
