Location

Based on our own experience, the perfect location for a hotel – like the one we want to make – is defined by two criteria:

  1. It must be away from, but nearby, touristic area
  2. Be located in pleasant surroundings with local center, good infrastructure and with a life of it’s own. And Tings is surrounded by the best restaurants and bars in town – read about the places Thomas & Annette go for a drink, dinner og just to meet people.

 

Tings Lounge Hotel & Tings Tea Lounge is located in Lazimpat in the northern part of Kathmandu on Nursary Galli, House 322.

 

 

Take Lazimpat Road going North from the Royal Palace. After 800 meter you reach the sign for the Danish Embassy. Don’t follow that direction! Turn left (before Hotel Gangjong), pass Nepali Chulo on your right and continue for another 75 meter. Here you find Tings on your left – just before Search for Common Ground (the last house before the road turns).

Cafes, restaurants, jazz clubs, lounges, galleries and shopping is right outside the door.

Lazimpat is the closest you come to Notting Hill, Pisserenden, Soho, PrenzlBerg, Bastille/Republic here in Kathmandu. An unpretentious and relaxed blend of locals and internationals.

… and it’s easy to find!

  1. Hi
    I am planning on coming to Nepal for some volunteer work in November and will not get into Kathmandu until 10.30pm, am I still able to check in this late at night if I book a room for the night and what would be the safest way to get there at that hour?

    Regards

    1. Emma,

      Yopu can always check in no matter how late you arrive… it’s not ‘unsafe’ to arrive late. Just very inconvenient because its dark, the number of taxis at the airport are limited (*and more expensive) etc. Just like in any other big city at this hour.

      The easiest thing for you is to get a taxi to pick you up. We can arrange that for you (without extra charge or provision) or you can get someone else to do it… We have had a couple of situations where the driver tells our guests that Tings are closed OR that he doesn’t know where it is… Thats just because he wants to take you to a hotel where he gets provision… again, that’s not dangerous… its the ‘charm’ of traveling in this part of the world. Bring your mobile and call us from the Taxi…

      Take care

    YOUR ASSISTANCE, IN TERMS OF RESPONDING TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS, WILL GREATLY ASSIST ME IN ARRANGING MY ACCOMMODATION FOR LATE MAY/ EARLY JUNE 2014. MANY THANKS,.

    Like

    1. This is difficult… most travelers stays in Thamel. But if you have a special interest in Budhism and Boudhanart you should stay there. There are lots of hotels teher = but it is mostly dharme student who stay there. Others take a taxi from Thamel (20 mon 3 US)

      Thamel is considered THE Tourist Hub – a lot of restaurants, night clubs & hotels mixed with a lot of travel agencies and souvenir shops. Most people like like it after the first visit – and the find it ‘difficult’. But ALL travelers have to go there….its very noisy – especially in the evening

      Tings is 15 minunets away from Thamel (walking distance) or 1 US by taxi (3 minutes) – in a very quiet neighborhood where all of the foreigners living in Kathmandu find the best restaurants, music places etc – all outside Tings.

      So central … maiby, Fairly central: YES.

      I suggest that you find more info on this blog…. or mail us again….

      Hope this helps
