    Beautiful property with spacious rooms and a lovely little garden. Amazing view from the gym and terrace. Breakfast was really nice, you can pick items from the menu. The little clay pots with soap and shampoo were cute, though a little difficult to handle in the shower. Very friendly, helpful and attentive staff.

    My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights and had a wonderful experience. The hospitality was outstanding, the staff were extremely friendly, and the food was excellent. The room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable. We truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this place.

    The area, I would have preffered a location which is a little cleaner

    The hotel is rather new, was inaugurated 2 years ago and is built according to European standards. It is located in the city centre, but in a rather busy area as everything in the Thamel district. Due to its green as well as its cleaness, you feel rejuverated when you step in because you leave behind the noice and the dust. It serves continental and american breakfast, which are really generous and the menu has european, indian, nepali dishes which are excellent. Opposite the hotel there are 3 tourist office shops where you may book excursions and also bargain the price. I booked a budha air flight to the everest for 210 USD. It was worthy because the cabin crew offers personalised explanations on the mountains and takes photos while you are close to everest; make sure you select a left side seat on the aircraft in order to have more time gaizing the Everest. Also, going out of the hotel alley to the street- on the left- there is a currency exchange where you may change money and bargain a bit the rate. The hotel is highly recommended for people with mobility issues as it lacks steps, has and elevator and the corridor to the restaurant is reclined. The airport taxi costs 10USD approximately, however if you book it from the application 'indrive' it is about 500 rupies. The staff is friendly, proficient in English and do their best to make your stay easy and comfortable.

    The location, just on the edge of Thamel, and the fact that it's down a laneway and surrounded by lush foliage make this a welcome retreat from the sometimes crazy streets of Kathmandu. Nice rooms, friendly staff. The view from the gym is pretty great too; likewise, the rooftop is a nice place for a read.

    A hidden gem in Thamel. Travelled to KTM with my parents and I’m so glad I stayed at Thrive. Their hospitality and kindness exceeded our expectations and the way they made sure my parents were taken care of was beyond amazing! I’m so happy I discovered Thrive and their food was really good too (especially the scrambled eggs). And the team at Thrive was super.

    It is a modern hotel but it has charm and it’s tucked away in the back streets of central Kathmandu. The staff was also very nice and not overbearing.

    Practical, comfy hotel with all the mod cons
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Executive Double Room
    • Stayed 3 nights

    The only downside at this hotel was something strange going on with the electricity switch where it would regularly switch off for a second and then back on - this was annoying, as it would turn off the TV mid-show for example, and turn off the AC (which would then need to be turned back on - not great when you're sleeping). This wasn't power cuts, as it wasn't happening at other hotels, but seems to be an issue with the electrics in Hotel Thrive itself. Once this is fixed, the hotel will be perfect.

    Hotel Thrive is a rare thing in the Kathmandu market - a modern, mid-range, functional hotel where everything (mostly) works. It's extremely comfortable, the staff are super switched on and helpful, and the breakfast buffet is great. I had a lot of writing to do, so I booked and came to this hotel for one main reason: the real office chair and good writing desk in the rooms - I've found this feature almost impossible to find, and it was a welcome relief. My other favourite feature of the hotel is the little gym - it's small, basic, but it does the job - good, new equipment (including a sensible range of dumbbells).

    Everything ok

    The location is great, near restaurants and all the shops of Thamel. The staff was beyond friendly and helpful. I forgot my passport in a shop a block away. I had already checked out and moved to Bhaktapur. I contacted them when I noticed my passport was missing and asked them to go to the shop and ask if they had it and, if they did, if they could send it to my new hotel in Bhaktapur. THEY DID!!!! They saved my trip!!

    Not a critcism exactly, but many taxi-drivers seemed to find Hotel Thrive difficult to find or even pronounce. I found it best to ask for "Chhetrapati" (which is a bit more accurate than "Thamel") and then guide them from Chhetrapati Chowk (the local crossroads) which is nearby.

    Very comfortable and clean hotel with friendly and helpful staff which is within easy walking distance to the Thamel area where there are plenty of restaurants and bars, etc.
