5/5 Excellent

"This is my family’s first time staying at hotel Sherpani and definitely won’t be the last. The staff and hotel are all amazing very clean and organized. The reception is so helpful they help call taxi if you need and are very accommodating. The room is spacious and beds are super comfortable. Location is also great, a quick walk 6-8 minute walk away from boudha. The area is very safe as well. The owner of the hotel is also very accommodating. If needed they also offer airport pickup which is super helpful. The views from the rooftop restaurant is beautiful. Highly recommend staying here to everyone!! I’ve been to many hotel in Nepal and in general, this hotel is definitely is one of the best ones I’ve been to. "

Excellent Stay!

"Our stay at the Hilton KTM was one of the best we had. We were two adults and a child who stayed for 3 nights. All aspects of the stay were impeccable. We wanted to provide our special thanks to the restaurant staff especially Chef Machindra who provided an array of breakfast items which kept us satiated for the whole day! Thank you! "
