The hotel itself is located in a good place, quiet if I'm not counting barking :) Breakfast is good, plenty of choices. Not everything was fresh though. Rooms are small but enough for 2. Bathrooms are the bad thing. Dirty, old stuff inside nothing working properly.

A good hotel just got better. This was our fourth stay at the Moonlight over the last few years, during which time they've obviously been working hard to make it one of the best tourist-class hotels in KTM. Latest improvements include an egg chef at breakfast who will cook your omelette / scramble / fry-up just as you like it... More

I really enjoyed my stay at the Moonlight. It is in a nice location in Thamel, has a very helpful staff, money exchange on site, and a delicious breakfast. The beds are comfortable, and there was hot water! I would definitely stay there again. Oh, and I forgot to mention the beautiful courtyard in front of the hotel where you... More

Hotel Moonlight is a fantastic hotel in the middle of the tourist hub of Kathmandu (Thamel). It is simple, clean, and the hotel staff will do anything to ensure your stay is perfect. I felt very safe at night, and can only sing praise of this hotel.

I guess this hotel rates well for me mainly due to the staff, showers and food. I know that the accomodation standards in Nepal is vastly different from Australia so when I rate a hotel in Nepal, I rate the toilets, shower, service and fact that I didn't get sick by their food. This hotel has good enough showers &... More

Good value place to stay, just on the edge of Thamel. Quiet location, but only a minute's walk from Thamel's hundreds of restaurants, cafe's and shops. Nice garden area and a roof terrace with good views over the city. All the staff here are friendly, helpful and efficient; there's a lovely atmosphere. The hotel has a generator which fires up...
