10/10 Exceptional

The property is a very relaxing refuge for a traveller. The staff were very helpful and accommodating during my stay which is a call-out and a big part of the charm of the place. The rooms were as one would expect from an old world style establishment, a bit generous and functional. The grounds were pleasant place to relax.

The hotel is an oasis from the madness of the Kathmandu streets and traffic. It has lovely buildings, beautiful gardens and a calm aura. Highly recommended

i have visited Hotel Vajra since 2013. It is one of the most reliably safe and restful places in Kathmandu and a great location point for wandering and exploration. It is western-friendly but very very local. Amazing rooftop vistas and meditation Pagoda. Highest recommendation!

Space Calm & a Creative Atmosphere in the city!

This hotel is made for creatives and artists who want a quiet place to stay with spacious rooms, while also being in the heart of the city. Its a beautifully built hotel with some amazing wood carving, and a wonderful spacious feel while walking through the interiors especially the restaurant. The gardens and patio are beautiful with many seating areas. You won’t find flat screen tvs here but you will find a good writing desk and excellent wifi. The bathroom was clean but could do with a little interior design sparkle. The food was excellent, and the owner and all the other staff were very helpful and interesting to converse with.

The Hotel Vajra was an oasis in the dusty streets of Kathmandu. It was close to everything, the food was good, and the staff were very welcoming. I would stay here again.

Charme et authenticité

Quel charme et quel havre tranquillité à deux pas de Thamel cet hotel ! Un personnel aux petits soins. On m’a organisé un trek de 3 jours dans la vallée de katmandou avec une guide culturelle, Pramila Bohora (Pramila Bohora https://www.facebook.com/share/p/bhNavpZ1BwaX3euM/?mibextid=WaXdOe (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/bhNavpZ1BwaX3euM/?mibextid=WaXdOe), que je recommande fortement : Tres cultivée (master d’histoire du Nepal), gentille, avenante….

Hotel Vajras is the most restful and quiet hotel in the area. i have visited Hotel Vajra since 2013 and every time i do, i find the staff is super friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and modest, and the grounds are impeccable. Though it is a relatively recent construction, the attention to cultural accuracy in the details and styling feels authentic. There is ample space on ground for impromptu meetings, a well-appointed theater space, an amazing roof-top meditation room, and a library of ancient nepali texts. Extremely reasonable rates!

A beautiful place but limited upkeep and it was cold in the room. Staff is wonderful and very responsive in trying to help make stay more comfortable.

Bo heat

Der var ingen radiator på værelset. Vi tjekkede ud efter en nat. Fik at vide at vi bare kunne have bedt om en radiator. I min verden kan man bede om en hårtørrer men varme/radiator skal stå på værelset så man selv kan bestemme om den skal være tændt. Det er i dem grad dårlig service og da jeg tjekkede ud var det første jeg fik at vide, at jeg ikke kunne få penge tilbage på trods af, at jeg sket ikke havde bedt om det. Ejer virker meget fokuseret på at spare så der kan tjenes mere.

Ich kenne das Vajra Hotel ja schon lange. Es hat einen hübschen Garten und ein eigenes Restaurant. Es wäre nett, wenn das Wasser der Dusche etwas schneller warm würde, aber wir sind ja in Nepal

8/10 Very good

I like the traditional but modernized Nepalse building style of the hotel building. The on-site restaurant is very convenient and provides good food at any time. The hotel is outside of Thamel in 10 minutes walking distance, so does Swajambu, the Monkey Temple. Staying there feels like Nepal and a safe and quiet retreat at the same time.
