"I stayed at this hotel with my wife and encountered a very disappointing situation during our stay. While waiting for the elevator, a woman entered ahead of us, despite us clearly being in line first. When I mentioned this, she replied that we “wouldn’t fit” in the elevator. I explained that we had been waiting and, if the elevator was full, she should wait for the next one. To our surprise, she claimed to be the owner of the hotel. I was shocked that someone in that position would speak to...

Top Swayambhunath Hotel Reviews

Hotel Mulberry

8/10 Good

"The hotel is placed in a very convenient quiet position. The front staff are very nice!! The rooms are clean and well maintained. Breakfast if great!! The gym is old and needs to be repaired which was a little disappointing. The pool area is nice, but not enough pool lounges and the decking needs to be replaced. Some of the decking is falling apart and a little dangerous."

"Great location, excellent staff, would definitely stay here again!"

Oasis Kathmandu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is clean, close to many restaurants, shops and central to all things tourist life but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood area so very quiet at night. The restaurant has good food too. If you want authentic Nepalese cuisine ask for it as normally they tone down the chili for the tourists. Breakfast was good. AC works great too as well as fast WiFi. Staff and Service were exceptional as they kept our bags for a few days when we were trekking tigers. We would stay here again."

Hyatt Centric Soalteemode Kathmandu

10/10 Excellent

"Very Nice staff and very nice facilities. We had a great stay. I would recommend to anyone as the best place to stay in Katmandu"

Hotel Vajra

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing! Extremely helpful and kind. I know it is an older hotel and the use of water is a concern in Nepal. The toilets and sink tend to run a long time. No worries for us but just a concern for water conservation. I would definitely stay here again!"
