The room is very cozy and the design is very user-friendly. The hotel's small lawn is beautiful. The surrounding is quiet and convenient. It takes ten minutes to walk to the pagoda. The service is especially good.

The hotel is about ten minutes' walk from Boudhanath Stupa. The room is large and there is a very nice courtyard. The breakfast is okay, there is yoga in the morning, and there is a very good spa. Overall, I am very satisfied. I will probably choose it again in the future.

The price is a bit expensive. The slippers are flip-flops, not very comfortable. Breakfast bar, drink too much, have few choices to eat

After our visits in 2017 and 2019 this year we came back to this hotel. We saw that they have built a whole new entrance, lobby and also an extension with an extra building. The rooms are very spacious and have good beds. The interior is all inspired on ******* culture and colours. Which makes it apart (you will see in the way you have to close your door). The big garden full of plants, is quiet, you can enjoy the sun or just relax from the hectic city. The employees are very kind, speaking well English and are very helpful . In a 10 minutes walk you are at the beautiful Boudha Stupa. A truly inspirational place.
Response from Property: Dear Guest, Thank you so very much for choosing Shambaling once again for your stay in Kathmandu. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the new changes, including the updated entrance, lobby, and extension. It is wonderful that you appreciated the spacious rooms and Tibetan-inspired interior design—it is something we take great pride in, the local culture experience to your guest. We are also glad you found the garden peaceful and the team helpful and welcoming. We hope the proximity to the Boudha Stupa added to the inspirational experience of your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future! Warm regards, Jigme Phuntsok Chodon / Mrs. MD

Serene Oasis in the Heart of Kathmandu My stay at Shambaling Boutique Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled in the peaceful Boudha area, this hotel provides the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu. The tranquil ambiance, lush greenery, and beautifully maintained gardens create a serene environment that feels like a home away from home. The rooms are impeccably clean, thoughtfully decorated, and equipped with all modern amenities while maintaining a warm, traditional charm. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my comfort, offering personalized and attentive service throughout my stay. One of the highlights was the in-house Lungta Restaurant, which serves an exquisite blend of Nepali and ******* cuisines. Every meal was a delight, made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, and presented with care. The Himalaya Thali, in particular, was a standout! The hotel’s proximity to the iconic Boudhanath Stupa is a huge bonus. It’s just a short walk away, allowing easy access to one of Kathmandu’s most revered sites while still enjoying the peaceful seclusion of the hotel. Shambaling Boutique Hotel is truly a hidden gem that balances luxury, culture, and tranquility. I cannot recommend it enough to anyone visiting Kathmandu. I will definitely return on my next trip!

Shambaling is a delightful boutique hotel in Kathmandu, 10 mins walk from the Boudhha Stupor. The streets are authentic and clean which is a nice change from the tourist area of Thamel. The food is delicious and staff are incredibly warm and friendly. I paid a little extra for a garden view room.

We always like to come back to the Shambaling hotel. It feels like home for us. The staff was again very friendly. We also like the cosy rooms and the tasty food, especially the Indian dishes. And the vicinity to the stupa of Boudhanath is perfect.

We had a really great time staying here for about 2 weeks. We arrived and were already welcomed so kindly with a blessing and Welcome drink. The rooms are lovely: clean, comfortable beds, enough space, great view from the window,... The best thing about our stay here was the extrememy friendly staff! Whatever we needed they always helped us and fulfilled our request immidiately! Not only did they do a great job but they did it with such a kindness and friendly manners that it made us smile every time. Thank you to everyone! Thanks to the reception staff (knowing our roomnumber already by hard:), the cleaning staff (bringing extra coffee everyday without asking for it) and all the staff in the restaurant! Food is delicious and we've had many great conversations with them. Very much looking forward to comming back here! Best wishes from Anni with Astrid and Uli
