Hotel Moonlight

A super, friendly place with a gorgeous outside space in a courtyard setting, for eating and drinking. Across the road is the alleyway entrance to busy, narrow streets with a lot of mopeds, so keep your wits about you! If you see necklace strings of amethyst, jade etc, buy if you want them because you won’t find in India. I regret VERY much not buying brass doorhandles in the shape of a winged goddess. The Stupas are amazing, they really are breathtaking and so busy with people going about their prayerful business. Remember to use your right hand to proffer money as gifts to Gods…tricky when you’re left handed!

Hotel moonlight is a peaceful and beautiful oasis in the busyness of Khatmandu! Lovely spacious and light rooms and incredibly helpful and kind staff like Deepa Basnet who will go out of her way to ensure you have a comfortable and pleasant stay. She is ramro!!!!. So is Susssan who is also very helpful and taught me some Nepali. The food is also amazing and there is a lovely courtyard and rooftop which an incredible view. 10 stars!!

Been coming here for a couple of years & never did a review. But after this year's stay, thought you should know about this place. In the busy Pacnajol/Thamel area of Kathmandu, this is one of many hotels that cater to the throngs of tourists. Once you are inside, the noise and the hustle & bustle slip away and the inner courtyard beckons. Staff is very courteous, pleasant, helpful and efficient. One of the reasons our university team likes it here is a very good wifi connection. The rooms are a bit on the small side, generally, but if they're not too crowded, front desk folks will gladly offer you a bigger room. They are nicely decorated, clean, modern. The beds are comfy for sleeping, but then I am happy to sleep just about anywhere. If you want a nice view of the valley, ask for a room that has a view of the famous Monkey Temple ... Swayambhu. Some of the rooms have small balconies. And ... guess what??? The showers have hot water! Of course the breakfast buffet is special for people like me, but there is something there for everyone. The rooftop deck is super nice for sunrise & sunset, meetings or just hanging out with a book or tablet.

We stayed at Hotel Moonlight before heading to Kailash Mansarovar and on return. On both the occasions had a great stay, the highlight being the exceptional and professional service provided by the F&B staff in the restaurant. Being international travellers going on a pilgrimage, we wanted diversity in menu and also catering to 'No onion & garlic' requirement. We were delighted when Chef Hari Gurung and his team prepared a different cuisine for every meal catering to our diverse requirements. Having eaten at many 5 star hotels and restaurants, I have no hesitation to say that the food in the restaurant was as good as any that I have eaten anywhere else. We had Italian, Chinese, Indian and Nepali food. The service staff led by Mr Raj were also very helpful and courteous and kudos to the management for their training. Would love to return. Alok

Moonlight was a small, clean, quiet and a very welcoming place in the sought after central tourist area of Kathmandu - Thamel. Friendly, attentive and ever-smiling staff provided excellent service during our stay. Manager - Hari - with his wealth of experience and knowledge, was always available to support, guide and direct us with whatever queries or information we needed. Whether it was a visit to Pashupattinath, currency exchange, haircut, shopping ... Hari was always happy to help and put us in touch with the right contacts. This review comes a bit late ... but Hari and entire Moonlight Team ... thank you so much for everything! Pheri Bhetaula!

In the heart of Kathmandu, Thamel District, conveniently located , surrounded with good cafe's & restaurants. We had a wonderful experience staying at Moonlight Hotel. The staff were all very professional and the manager was attentive to all of our needs. The room service was excellent and the rooms were clean and comfortable. One of the best things about the hotel was the 24-hour restaurant, which was very convenient. Additionally, the hotel van doubled as a taxi, making it easy for us to explore the city. Laundry service was great. Overall, I highly recommend Moonlight Hotel for a pleasant stay in Kathmandu and reasonable priced.
