I booked and paid for a suite but got a regular room because all suites were taken. They said it was their mistake and they would correct it but refused to make the adjustment upon check-out. They scammed me, plain and simple.

Great Location and Nice Staff.
My GF arrived before me and when she landed at the airport the hotel failed to arrange a driver to pick her up per expectations, so she had to book a taxi which they paid for. Our room was not as expected, but atter complaining they moved us to a much nicer room. When I then arrived two days later, again no driver at the airport as promised over the phone... but they covered the cab. Breakfast was decent, room was nice, and the service was pretty good. Just a little annoying to have to push then for the right room and better just plan to get your own cab from the airport. Location is excellent and I would definitely stay here again, provided I get one of the nicer rooms on the 3rd floor: there's a big difference between the good rooms and the basic ones.

Great location and good breakfast
Stayed in between trekking and a visit to Pokhara. The room is clean but there is no lift. Breakfast is a buffet style with choice of fruit, cereal, toast, cooked veggies, egg and meat, 1 juice, milk, tea and coffee. The hotel is centrally located in Thamel and the staff are helpful.

Comfortable hotel in Thamal area
Charming and comfortable hotel in the bustling active Thamal district. A bit noisy, but it's all part of being in this area. The hotel staff was terrific and were very accommodating. Tours were arranged with ease and at reasonable prices. The adjoining restaurant was very good. There is no elevator. There is Security on site and lots of shopping nearby. I would stay here again....

Kathmandu Ecohotel: Great place to Stay
Sit back, relax, and let the managers take care of all your travel needs. For your first visit to Nepal the Kathmandu Ecohotel is a great place to stay. Tours are conveniently planned in the lobby area by the hotel manager Bimal. All tours are affordable and less expensive than local competitors. I had the opportunity to visit all the cultural sites and temples of the city, and visit Nagarkot Hill for an excellent morning view of the Himalayas and afternoon hike. The nearby cultural diner with dancers is a must. Four days is all you need to have a great time in the city. Shopping in the backpacker district of Thamel is right out of the hotel's front door. The attached restaurant has great food, and breakfasts are free if you have a room at the hotel. Rooms are clean and reasonably priced. Tour planning and friendly staff makes the Kathmandu Ecohotel a great place to stay for your first visit to Nepal.

Great location, basicRoom
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful with maps and directions as well as luggage. The hotel is located in the heart of Thamel district, close to everything. The room was very simple with AC. However, after leaving the hotel, I noticed red bumps all over my body from the bed. They may need to replace some of their mattresses.

Nice hotel in Thamel
We had an excellent time here. The staff are great. There is air conditioning that works very well and isn't noisy, water is nice and hot and shower has plenty of pressure. It felt like a place of relaxation outside of the busy city. Also because of regular power outages, this hotel also has a back up generator so you still have light. They kept or bags for us while we were away for two weeks on our trek. Beds were comfortable. Our king bed were two doubles pushed together but it was done nicely.

Great spot in the heart of town
The location of this hotel is perfectly situated in the heart of the tourist area, withing minutes of anything you could possibly want - restaurants, travel agents, shops, etc. The people at the hotel were superb. Super friendly, helpful, and always kind and polite. The buffet breakfast was great with plenty to choose from, and it was quiet at night. The price is great and if you are really adventurous, as I was, you can even walk to the Monkey Temple, which is a Do Not Miss!!! It is, however a couple of miles, or so, and not the easiest route to follow. Taxis are reasonable so you can get there, but getting back might not be so easy. Make sure you take a business card of the hotel with an address and you'll still get a few blank stares....but someone will know how to get you back home. Enjoy ~

Hotel that overbooks
I arrived at the hotel late straight from the airport, to be advised by the manager that due to travel difficulties elsewhere (Lukla I think), various hotel guests had to extend their stay, although they had not originally booked in this basis, and that he would find me an alternative hotel. I later found out that this was not uncommon for the Eco hotel. In fact, it seems to be a hotel that usually overbooks customers and then passes them over to their own lower market hotel, while making a turn on the difference. My recommendation would be only book if you want to pay over the market price, and do not rely on an expedia guarantee, as even an expedia booking couldn't confirm the room in my case. Sweetening offers of a suite/ executive room/free breakfast REALLY didn't cut it as they are not close to the difference in price. I am an experienced traveller who has been to Nepal several times before, so took things in my stride. I am not sure how someone visiting Nepal for the first time would feel faced with the same situation. My advice is don't book with the Eco hotel, you may not get what you are paying for. The only redeeming part was the great reception staff.

Great hotel for the price
Prime location for shopping around Kathmandu. Great hotel for the price. Remember, to request air conditioning when booking. Breakfast is CHEAPER a couple of doors to the left. Plenty of places cheaper to eat breakfast, lunch & dinner. Room was simple & a good value for the price. No elevators in hotel. We were on the 5th floor. If you have bad knees or legs, thus hotel would not be for you. Overall, great hotel & value for your money. Would recommend.
