    The perfect place to relax right in the heart of Thamel, it truly feels like a slice of heaven. The manager is incredibly sweet and attentive, always making sure you have a great stay. The room was very comfortable, and since I work while traveling, it was ideal for me to feel cozy and still be able to focus on work. I highly recommend this place :)

    The window in my room faced directly to the room of the property beside Melo Pomelo. Hence I couldn't open the windows. They do not have AC, just a fan. So it was difficult to manage during the day

    I had a wonderful stay at The Melo Pomelo Courtyard, tucked away between Thamel and Durbar Square in Kathmandu. The location is ideal — just a 5‑minute walk to major highlights, yet hidden in a peaceful alley where the bustle fades away. The host, Amir made the whole experience personal and effortless. From helping with details about the local food places, to helping me navigate the city, his kindness stood out. My room was cozy, impeccably clean, and beautifully curated with natural decor. The shared courtyard, filled with greenery and sunshine, was by far my favorite spot — perfect for relaxing or socializing with other guests. Amenities like a shared kitchen, hot walk-in showers, added comfort without unnecessary frills. For the price, I felt I got excellent value and genuine hospitality. All in all, a cozy, serene oasis in Kathmandu – highly recommended for solo travelers, couples, or anyone seeking calm in the heart of the city. Pros: Incredible hosts, tranquil courtyard, stylish & clean rooms, unbeatable location, and great value. Cons: As a small guesthouse, there’s no on‑site restaurant or big amenities — but the safe, shared kitchen covers your basic needs.No AC,just a fan.So difficult during the day. Ideal for: Those who prefer boutique charm over standard hotel chains and love a touch of greenery and peace in urban travel.

    Melo Pomelo is a hidden gem in the Old Kathmandu located between the touristy Thamel and Durbar Square right next to a very storied 9th century temple. It is quiet, peaceful, clean and hospitable, with well-decorated rooms, clean beds and a nice little common kitchen. Amir, the owner, is always ready to help and answer any questions. He takes great care of every guest and regularly checks in to see what could make their stay better. I felt truly welcome and comfortable. There are lots of little shops to get everything you need in the bustling neighbourhood. Although it may seem a somewhat hectic to some, I loved it as the sights, sounds and the energy of the place really make you feel like you've stepped into a different world and a different time. Plus, the accommodation itself is very quiet. Melo Pomelo is a beautiful experience of Kathmandu, not just a place to spend the night. Highly recommended!

    This place is truly an oasis in the middle of a hectic city — it was perfect! Quiet, peaceful, and incredibly comfortable. I especially enjoyed sitting in the courtyard, whether it was raining or sunny. Surrounded by so many plants, it always felt cool and refreshing. The location is ideal, right in the middle of everything. And Amir is the nicest person — he answered all my questions and helped me with everything I needed i can recommend enough this place. I booked fpr 3 days ending up staying 2 more days.

    Only negative point is that the bed was not so good, there was like a hole in the mattress and it is a little bit noisy but okay overall.

    Amir was super friendly, always trying to help. Our room was really cozy, spacious and well located.

    We had a really nice stay at Melo Pomelo! Amer and the rest of the staff were very nice and helpful. The place offers an escape from the noisy Kathmandu streets thanks to the location on a small alley and the patio filled with plants. The rooms we stayed in were very spacious and had a balcony ! If we ever get a chance to visit Nepal again , we will for sure come back to Melo Pomelo.
