10/10 Exceptional

Great Value, Location and People
This is a great hotel nestled in a great location attached to the famous Thamel Market. Just a few minutes walk from the Kathmandu Durbar Square and walkable from many great pubs and nightlife, this hotel is a seriously great value for money. The absolute highlight of this place is IT'S AWESOME PEOPLE! super friendly and courteous staff are always ready to help you with a smile. Their restaurant has very tasty food, and I used the Hotel's very reasonable tour package to check out the great places around Kathmandu Valley and my driver was sweet and helpful. All in all, folks from Norbulinka made my Nepal visit truly memorable. Special shoutouts to Mr.Santosh & Mr.Kiran , Mr.Ganesh, Mr.Rabin

The people working here are very friendly and very accommodating to English only speakers. This place is pretty fancy for Nepal, i didnt realize that until I stayed, but it was a nice couple of days and the staff were very kind
Verified Expedia guest review

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately very poor value. Definitely not a ‘boutique’ hotel! Hotel and room were dilapidated and generally unclean. Room smelt of faintly of cigarette smoke. Noisy concrete corridors outside the room with loud conversations and slamming doors late at night AND early in the morning. Weak tepid shower and brown water stains on bathroom floor. Room service only once during a 4 night stay. Hotel staff, although nice people, are generally disorganised and quite unprofessional. Another hotel only a few blocks away is only $10 more per night and actually very pleasant to stay at. I did not once want to spend any time at Norbulinka because it was so generally unpleasant to be there. This hotel would be okay if it was 1/2 the price being charged. Disappointing, especially considering this is not a cheap place to stay. Go elsewhere would be my advice.

The staff were very friendly, courteous and professional. They went out of their way to assist me. The Manager Rabin was very kind man that runs a top shelf organization. I'm very happy and grateful with my stay. Thank you for going above and beyond in making it a memorable stay.

2/10 Poor

Don't believe the pictures nor the reviews! Although the staff means well but the property is old and falling apart there was minimum hygiene precautions and things are left uncleaned. Not recommended until the owners invest in renovating the place. Ps. Most of the good reviews date back to 2014/2015 - so don't trust what the hotel is showing you as content as it's not updated. We had to cancel after our first night. Expedia talked to the hotel and we got refunded for the remaining nights (so that's the only plus).
