Perfect place to stay

Everyone was extremely kind and helpful, the room was beautiful and the breakfast included had a ton of variety. The only issue I had was getting someone to pick up my laundry to have it cleaned but it came back promptly the next day smelling great and neatly folded.

8/10 Very good

The hotel had its charm and it was pleasant being there but it wasn’t close to anything and the area isn’t clean, sidewalks are broken up and the traffic was nerve racking. The staff were very helpful and breakfasts were very good.

The property has an unique architecture, you feel transported back in time. The staff was polite and kind, sharing with interest about their culture and traditions. What a lovely experience!
Antonela, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A tastefully conceived oasis from the chaos of modern Kathmandu far from the crush of commerce and entertainment aimed at the mass of tourists. Location provides access to restaurants, bars, antiques and boutiques on the doorstep of the hotel set in the quiet, liesurely ambience of the historic Babar Mahal Revisted complex.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property was truly wonderful. We stayed there twice and loved it! The rooms were charming and they fit a lot into this hotel - even a pool and gym. Chez Caroline is attached - amazing French food, and they have a restaurant with authentic Nepalese Thali food and entertainment. They helped us with transportation, and everyone was always friendly and helpful. LOVED it. There are also a few stores attached, including cute gift shops, clothing shops, and a place for mani/pedis. We just loved our stay there and highly recommend it.
Donna Jensen, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful heritage property with lots of interesting quirks and fab decor. Loved that we had several dining options. Local craft markets within the grounds of the hotel was such a bonus. Staff were attentive though on one occasion one or two at reception could have done better. Overall very enjoyable stay and wish we could have experienced it for more than one night. Definitely recommend.

Fabulous Nepalese hospitality!

This hotel is amazing! The history and character of the hotel is fascinating. The staff are so welcoming. They welcome you by putting a scarf around your neck and applying a tika to your forehead. I had a massage at the spa which was excellent. My stay was fabulous! No complaints!
Lana, 3-night trip

our room was amazing, but had an odd smell, not sure if it was some kind of smoke or incense. otherwise it was all fabulous!

The royalty at its best. This place is so beautiful. The architecture the decoration, the designs, the stories that every area told you. Its a storybook setting for travelers. The room was so beautifully designed, patio had so much seating space. Restaurants had such great tasting food. The folk dance dinner event was mindblowing. We had a great time. Staff was so hepful in arranging our spa tratment and outdoor activities including money exchange. Very friendly and helpful. My stay was for 3 days and there was always some fun event going on. The art gallery to shopping at babar mahal is definitely a must. Lots of beautiful photo moments. I definitely would go again.

This hotel has it all

Extremely welcoming staff meeting you with big smiles on arrival. The staff is really determined to make your stay the best 24/7. Be aware that the (young) reception/concierge staff do not always speak a clear English, so you may need to ask more times to get the full understanding of their explanations. The location of the hotel is great - close to main shopping areas, but still in a quiet residential area, with a hospital/pharmacy next door, and an integrated cosy complex with a lot of small handicraft boutiques and not less than four different restaurants that can all keep you busy for days - besides a small pool, library, fitness room and a nice spa. All in all a very good choice if you stay in Kathmandu for more days in a row

Lovely heritage room. Friendly staff but restaurant service incredibly slow.

The hotel was quiet since it was off season but everyone there was friendly and accommodating. It was a perfect respite from the hectic city.
Laura, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice boutique hotel outside the hustle and bustle of the central district. Easy to and from airport and private car can be arranged. Very courteous and pleasant staff. Especially high marks for Menuka at the front desk who was extremely helpful and accommodating. Several food options available within the property itself including a French restaurant and next door great coffee and lunch at Cafe Himalaya Rooms were wel appointed with balconies. Hotel is filled with many artificers and artwork from the Maharaja era. Very cool. Room rates were also quite reasonable and daily breakfast was included. Also, had drinks at the K2 lounge, which were well crafted.
Michael, 1-night trip

Every one was very courteous and helpful. The person in charge at breakfast was extremely polite and helpful. Gave us excellent service. This is an heritage hotel, older but full of characters. Highly recommended

Like a small shopping center with good rooms, great service, and three restaurants. A bit far from main shopping area and attractions.

A rebuild of a family palace, it mirrors the European influences on Nepal. However, it is the staff who are helpful on all occasions that makes a stay truly magical
