Hotel Blue Diamond — Hotel in Kathmandu Metropolitan City

Hotel Blue Diamond, located right in the heart of Thamel, Kathmandu, offers one of the most affordable accommodation options in what is usually a high-priced tourist area. If you're a budget traveler or backpacker looking for a big room at a fair price, this place delivers just that.

The rooms are spacious, which is a plus — especially compared to the smaller, cramped rooms you often find in Thamel. The hotel is also conveniently located close to restaurants, shops, and tour agencies, making it easy to explore the city on foot.

However, the furniture is outdated and could use some upgrading to improve the comfort and aesthetics of the room. While the rooms are kept clean, the bathrooms lack proper sanitation products like handwash, shampoo, or soap, which could be a small but important improvement for guest comfort.

The staff are friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is quiet considering its central location. Wi-Fi is available, though the signal can be weak in some rooms.

Suggestion: Updating the furniture and providing basic toilet amenities would greatly enhance the overall guest experience.

If you're not too picky and want a clean, spacious room at a good rate in one of Kathmandu’s most expensive tourist areas, Hotel Blue Diamond is a...

For $10 a night, you can do better than the Blue Diamond Hotel. Everything in the room is/looks dirty - the sheets, the towels, the bathroom, etc. The surfaces in the bathroom are covered in a coat of grim, the toilet is visibly dirty and and the walls are literally covered in black mold. We asked the front desk to re-clean our bathroom and they just swept the floor. Our shower is simply a sink faucet at waist height on the wall! When you turn the wall faucet aka shower on, you only get a trickle of cold water and if you try turning it on more, then water starts pouring out of the sink faucet, not even the wall faucet!! ||||The beds are simply a piece of wood covered by a thin pad, so you are basically sleeping on solid wood. I put my sleeping bag pad on top of the bed to make the bed at least as comfortable as sleeping on the ground, but my husband didn't have a sleeping bag pad so he tossed and turned each night. We would never have stayed here after seeing the condition of the room and bathroom, but we were stuck here because we were part of a volunteer organization who had reserved the hotel. If you have a choice, stay...

The person at the reception hardly spoke to me when I arrived (I even asked him if he spoke English). They changed my room twice, because I wanted tv in my room (when you travel solo it's important); the first room didn't have tv and in the second room the TV didn't work. So, they changed my room for third time. They gave me a two beds room with a nice tv, the one that stopped working at the second day. I asked to change the pillows, because they looked dirty.|When I booked it, the description said that there was buffet breakfast, but they prepared the breakfast for you, which takes some time to be ready. However, it was a nice breakfast (omellete, toasts, some butter and jelly, a banana and black tea/milktea.|Sad thing, everything looked like it was dirty. I mean, if they are not going to maintain sheets and pillows clean, don't use white color for them. Beds are hard, like really hard. The sink in the bathroom looked dirty. |Anyways, it's near everything in Thamel. But if I had known all I described, I wouldn't have...
