The staff is absolutely amazing. Raj was wonderful helping me with taxis, excursions, and even helped me with my phone when it was having issues. Bicum, Nisan, Noraj and Ram are awesome. They are extremely friendly, helpful and kind. They all really made my stay very nice. The hotel is in a great location, with many shops and restaurants in close walking distance. The breakfast is very good as well. And the cook is very good. I spent three very enjoyable weeks at this hotel. I look forward to returning in the future.

If travelling to Kathmandu I thoroughly recommend this Hotel as your base. In Thamel but quiet enough at night to get a restful sleep. More importantly the manager sets an amazing tone and welcomes you warmly from the get go. Nice to be greeted by forst name basis. All other staff are friendly too. Rooms spacious . No faults here!!! Well done to everyone here, it’s appreciated

This hotel had excellent reviews. The price was good, so I booked it. I was not disappointed. The manager, Raj & his staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. I could feel the warmth & friendship of the hotel as soon as I arrived. Nothing is to much trouble for them. I leave today for Pokhara, but will come back & stay here again next week when I return. Strongly recommend this hotel. You simply can not go wrong staying here. Its excellent.

Hotel Friend's Home had excellent service. There is 24 hr check in which is great for international travel. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's affordable but they will treat you like you're a 5 star client. Pro-tip if you're sight seeing or need a cab they can hook you up with the best deal!

Situated in the heart of the city center, the hotel's location was perfect for exploring. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, providing a comfortable haven after a day of exploring. The exceptional service truly made my stay memorable, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Hotel Friends Home for anyone seeking a blend of convenience, comfort, and exceptional hospitality.

Raj and the staff are A+. They continually go out of their way to make sure that all of your questions are answered and your needs are met. I was made to feel like the hotel was literally my home away from home. I ended up extending my stay multiple times because of the amazing hospitality and experience that I had here. Raj can direct you to some great restaurants and bakeries in the area as well as any activities that you may have interest in. I feel grateful for my time at my “friends home” hotel.
