Top Kathmandu Hotel Reviews

Hotel Shanker-Palatial Heritage Kathmandu

10/10 Excellent

"All round excellence at this hotel"

Nepali Heritage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed 15 days and enjoyed the off street peaceful location. The staff was exceptional in so many ways, directions, sightseeing, travel advice, you name it. The restaurant was a quiet oasis from the city street noise. Good food in an outdoor setting. Overall, excellent staff and a great value and great location. Very highly recommend !!!"

Hotel Yak & Yeti

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Two staff members (a young woman-who seemed to be a manager at the reception desk and one of the omelette chefs) are great. The young manager remembered me from a previous stay and asked germane questions as to how things were going. The chef remembered me from brief interactions during breakfast and prepare my omelette without asking any questions."

Central Courtyard - Heritage Hötel & Artisan Café

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, very kind staff who work hard to create a charming unique hotel in busy Thamel area. Courtyard is lovely. Breakfast options are delicious. Staff are very helpful and patient. Like the suggestions for walks, restaurants, etc that hotel sent out as well. Highly recommend"

Holiday Inn Express Kathmandu Naxal by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I had an excellent stay at Holiday Inn Express Kathmandu. The staff was outstanding and very attentive. I appreciated the small gestures and their going the extra effort to accommodate and assist. I loved that the hotel is not in a busy area with good restaurants nearby. I would just walk to the places I visited like Thamel and take tour or taxi the rest of the time. My only complaint which may not be the fault of the hotel is the taxi service pick-up from the airport. It was smooth and professional but I found it very expensive relative to everything else in Kathmandu especially considering how close the airport was to the hotel. Maybe the hotel can adjust the rate or negotiate a lower, more realistic amount."
