Axel's take: 7.5/10
A friendly Thamel budget base, but room condition needs more consistency. A basic 3-star budget hotel with private rooms and dorm beds in Thamel, scored for what it is.
Pleasure Home is a basic 3-star budget hotel with private rooms and dorm beds in central Thamel. It's a good pick if location and helpful staff matter more than polish. Recent Booking.com guests and Tripadvisor reviewers repeatedly praise the welcome, food and convenience for exploring nearby shops and restaurants. The rooftop terrace is another plus, and several 2026 guests describe clean rooms and comfortable beds.
The catch is uneven upkeep. Guests mention tired bathrooms, leaks, cramped triple rooms and rooms that don't fully match the photos; Expedia's overall feedback is notably weaker than Booking.com's. Hot water and Wi-Fi also draw occasional complaints. We'd choose it for a straightforward budget stay, not dependable mid-range comfort. Skip it if you need an elevator or consistently well-maintained bathrooms, and confirm breakfast inclusion before booking.
