    We did not have a hot shower, but it was already late when we tried turning on the water and we didn‘t ask further as it was ok for us:-)

    We can totally recommend staying at Lama Hotel in Lukla. The staff was so friendly, kind and attentive. We felt really taken care of - all of the family helped us organizing another option as our flights got cancelled…..the food was super (we had dinner and breakfast there) the street nice and good to do some shopping before heading back ;-)

    The water pressure in the shower was nearly non existent, and no hot water came out, even after waiting 10 minutes.

    Great location, right on the "strip", and only a few minutes away from the airport (convenient for the early take off back to Kathmandu). Also, the place is family owned and the couple running it is extremely kind and helpful. The food is excellent and the rooms are clean.

    I liked the staff a lot. Very helpful and respectful. The hotel itself is better than most other guest houses I've stayed in the Everest region. If you are on your way to the area, simply get prepared to live on much less. If you get hot water, free wifi, electricity and a warm blanket - you already hit the jackpot, add a decent restaurant with tasty coffee and great burgers and you are way ahead of the game, add a nice view rooftop and you get the Lama. Cheers to all.

    This place exceeded our expectations. The owners and staff were absolutely amazing. We had one night here before our flight back from Lukla. They arranged breakfast to be made before we went to the airport (before 5 am!). The room was on the rooftop with a stunning view of the surrounding mountains and the airstrip to watch the planes and helis. It had a clean ensuite bathroom, which was appreciated even more after 2 weeks in the mountains. I would definitely stay again!

    The fact that there was no handrails on the upper floor stairs

    The hospitality of the host was exceptional. Nothing was too much for Lakpar Laman( sorry if I spelt your name wrong). Lakpar ( the owner)was really helpful and sorted out any issues that we encountered,with a smile.He went above and beyond what was expected of him as a host. And the food??. Was to die for. Food was really good and the portions were great. We also gathered a lot of general information about Nepal and the owner made time to talk and explain things to us. I would certainly recommend Lama hotel and would definitely stay there again if I’m in the region.We found that we were not just treated as a number but as people that are valued and respected. It was the first time that we got complimentary water and even coffee before we checked out. The room was high and we could see Lukla airport from our room window. The room was as in the photos and was very cosy. We got our food delivered to our room which was a luxury for us in Lukla
