The Melo pomelo courtyard. ( Right in between Thamel and basantapur durbar square)

Lovely lodge with unique furnishings, friendly host, central location

Such a nice place in Kathmandu! I only stayed there for one night, but I really liked it. Host were super friendly and the room was super nice. I can definitely recommend this one and I will stay there with pleasure, next time when I am in Kathmandu. Very stylish and great attention to detail.

Someone started to ring a bell at the small street super early in the morning, so don't forget ear plugs.

The location is perfect! It’s quiet while the buzzing street is just 30 seconds away. And the staff are very friendly and helpful!

As soon as you arrive at this small guesthouse run by a lovely family, you are welcomed by Amir, an exceptional host who is friendly and always ready to help. My stay of four nights (plus a fifth after my trek) was very comfortable, and I recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a budget-friendly option with a perfect location for exploring Kathmandu and preparing for a trek (most trekking agencies, as well as gear and clothing shops, are within walking distance). The neighborhood is certainly very noisy and chaotic, but Melo Pomelo is tucked away in a quiet alley with a small inner courtyard that makes you feel like you are no longer in Kathmandu. I also did laundry during my stay, and my clothes were returned very clean and dry in less than 24 hours. I also left a large suitcase while I was on my trek, and Amir kindly agreed to store it until my return. I stayed in a small room with shared bathrooms, and honestly, it felt like staying in a luxury hotel, it was that comfortable, quiet, clean, and welcoming. Thank you, Amir!
