Hotel Mulberry

Hotel Mulberry is a boutique property in the heart of Thamel, Kathmandu's main tourist district, located within easy walking distance of the neighbourhood's concentration of trekking equipment shops, international restaurants, bookshops, and curio stores. Thamel sits roughly 2 kilometres north of Kathmandu Durbar Square and functions as the primary base for trekkers, adventure tourists, and international visitors to Nepal. Hotel Mulberry's building has a contemporary exterior with traditional Newari design touches — carved wooden balconies, stone detailing, and terracotta accents that reference the heritage city around it. Rooms are comfortable and well-maintained, furnished with dark-wood fixtures, good bedding, and private bathrooms with continuous hot water; air conditioning and flat-screen television are standard across categories. The rooftop terrace is the most appealing communal space, offering elevated views across Thamel's layered rooflines and occasional Himalayan backdrops on particularly clear winter mornings. A restaurant on the lower floors serves a broad menu covering Nepali, Indian, and continental options; the breakfast buffet — typically included in the room rate — covers eggs, fresh fruit, juice, and bakery items. Front-desk staff assist with airport transfer bookings, trekking permit and TIMS card guidance, and taxi hailing. Laundry service is available at prices reasonable by Thamel standards. Hotel Mulberry occupies the mid-range bracket between the district's backpacker guesthouses and the large business hotels around Durbar Marg and Lazimpat. It suits travellers who want a quiet, well-maintained base in Thamel with more character and personal service than a generic tour-group hotel, without paying for facilities they will not use.
