This hotel went beyond our expectations, with its beautiful Newari architecture, a touch of creativity everywhere you look, and absolute great maintenance. The hotel is in an excellent location for any type tourist to venture out. The rooms are beautifully and uniquely designed, clean, and comfortable. This hotel quickly became a home away from home within minutes of our arrival.... more

What more can I say? The Courtyard is truly a home away from home. After living in a tent in rural Nepal for 5 weeks I found myself wandering round Thamel looking for a nice homely place to rest my weary joints, when some kind of subconscious force led me over the bridge and to the Courtyard. A great chat... more

As some of the other reviews mention, we experienced unparalleled hospitality at the Hotel Courtyard. Michelle and Pujan (Owners) greeted us upon arrival and invited us for a traditional Nepali dinner that evening. The entire week they were there for us to help book daily activities and evening social cocktails with them and the other guests added a fun, unexpected... more

My wife and I travel a lot, both for business and pleasure and found this place to be excellent. Pujan and Michelle are indeed the best hosts you can imagine. They are keen to not only make you feel completely at home in their hotel but will take you out to the best places for entertainment in the evenings. I... more

My fiance and I recently stayed at Hotel Courtyard. Pujon and Michelle were the best hosts we had ever met and they made us feel as though we were at home - especially when my fiance got sick. As a business owner, I can only hope that my cliental will be as happy with the way I serve them as... more

We paid $35 excluding tax per twin room. Overall the hotel was good. Perfectly adequate for our needs – comfortable, nice bar, quite clean, hot water in the bathroom (unless you forgot to turn on the boiler) and helpful staff. On that note, the owner was a tad overbearing – constantly in you face, over eager to help and a... more

I travel a lot for business (120plus nights a year) and booked the Hotel Courtyard after reading the reviews on this site. The hotel was Pusan's family home which he and Michelle have transformed into a wonderful boutique hotel. Moreover, Michelle and Pusan are actively involved with their guests by taking them to dinner at local restaurants, setting up custom... more

I can't imagine anyone not totally enjoying their stay at the Hotel Courtyard. I stayed at the hotel for seven weeks in October and November doing volunteer work at an NGO in Kathmandu. My room was spacious and cozy and immaculately clean. The staff was friendly and helpful and always greeted me by name. The owners, Michelle and Pujon, go... more

The Courtyard is an oasis in the hustle and bustle that is Thamel. The proprietors are from Seattle (Pujon is Nepali but lived in Seattle for many years and his wife Michelle) and could not have been nicer. They made us feel incredibly welcome throughout our stay. We got great recommendations for food and they were able to coordinate all... more
