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

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 place has the best traits of a hotel and the best traits of a home 😃 I’ve been traveling all through Asia for more than 2 years and this was the best place I’ve stayed in 🩷

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.

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

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!

Everything was just perfect! The position, the cozy room with a balcony, and last, but not least; the hosts🙏

A small oasis of calm, very close to both Thamel and Kathmandu Durbar Square. The rooms are super comfortable and really nicely decorated. I loved sitting on the balcony listening to the birds. The owner is incredibly kind, friendly and helpful!

The owner its an excellent host always taking care of his clients . Best hotel i ever stayed in center of Kathmandu ! 100% recommend ! Definitely coming back ..

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.

I like the atmosphere and its courtyard. Also Amir, the owner of this place, is a really kind guy that can help you on anything related to this place or the city.

I went there just for the catchy cozy vibe !! Btw our room was attached to the public alley so it was so uncomfortable ,Privacy issue !! I was so dissapointed as i was hyper conscious about surrounding !! If you are booked for the room attached to pubic alley it will be truly disaster , jus LEAVE !!! Space was also congested !! I asked for other available room btw it was not available so i stayed !!

serene and clean !! Loved this lil hideaway from the busy streets, really comfy room and helpful, kind owners. It was a pleasure to stay after I’d had this place recommended to me by various people.

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

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.

The hosts were so friendly and helpful especially since we got sick unexpectedly. The guesthouse has a beautiful and calm courtyard, perfect for eating outdoors and relaxing in, a quiet haven away from the busy streets. Would totally recommend to anyone passing through or staying for a longer trip :)

Loved the decoration of the room, super cosy and comfortable. Staff are amazing, so so friendly and go out of their way to help.

Bathroom smells so badly of sewage - god forbid you leave the door ajar, the whole room will just stink of raw sewage. There's basically no sound proofing, so if you are as unlucky as we were, and your room is opposite a noisy european couple, be prepared to wake up at 4am when they do...

Extremely friendly and knowledgeable host who was happy to help us with our questions. Great facilities and beautiful courtyard.

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.

The Host Amir was really helpful and gave us all the informations we needed and made us feel like home. The accommodation was really clean and comfortable. And the courtyard is a great place to relax from the busy streets.
