Luxury Hotels in Kathmandu

"This is definitely the first choice for business travelers in Kathmandu. Overall, it's very good. The only issue was that the desk in the room wasn't very functional for working. Another downside was that my flight turned back, so I missed a night, but couldn't get a refund."

"All the staff are helpful, Roni, Binti, Namiya and especially the staff at the restaurant. Because they help me with the selection of the food to ensure I feel comfortable. The view is amazing and they also offer steam, sauna and gym as complimentary. I really enjoyed my stay, will come again in future. Highly recommended."

"It can't be compared with the same level of four-star hotels in China, and the price is also expensive. Nepal is short of supplies and has a high cost of living. The facilities of this hotel are complete. Except that the rooms are relatively small, everything is acceptable. It is suitable for short-term business trips."

"The stay at chandragiri hills resort was very pleasant. It offered a very quiet and serene atmosphere and the views of the himalayan mountains were spectacular! the resort was very nice and clean with modern amenities. The sfaff was exceptional and all our needs were met meticulously!"

"Our stay at Gokarna was underwhelming. We had selected it based on their website that included a description of biking but when we arrived, there was no organized biking activities. The rooms were fine but a bit overpriced (although the beds were very comfortable). The food was unremarkable and expensive by local standards. Breakfast was not even set up when we went at 7AM. The pool was on the cold side and then charged 1800 rupees extra to use the sad little jacuzzi in the change room. There was a very noisy wedding on site the night we were there that kept us up. It can be challenging to get a taxi to the location. The golf course is beautiful though."

"Had a wonderful stay at this hotel, ideally situated in the heart of Thamel. The location made it very convenient to explore the area. What stood out most was the staff — they were both professional and genuinely warm, creating a welcoming atmosphere throughout the stay. The rooms were excellent: modern in design, spacious, and offering beautiful views. The bathroom was equally impressive, clean, stylish, and well-equipped. Facilities were top-notch, and the concierge team was always ready to assist with anything needed. I would absolutely choose to stay here again on my next visit to Kathmandu."

"The whole hotel system seems to be created with foreigners in mind. I stayed for 2 nights, while my family stayed for 3 nights. I originally booked the 2 nights through Trip.com. When I wanted to add an extra day, I was informed it was better to book it again online. At that time, I was in Nepal for 3 days and my phone was being repaired in Hong Kong, so I didn’t have access to my usual email or digital wallet. I had Nepali cash, but the payment system wouldn’t allow it, and I was denied the option to add more nights directly at the front desk. I tried booking again using my temporary phone, but the credit/card wouldn’t allow it—possibly because the phone and location were new and my digital wallet couldn’t be used. The only solution was asking a friend to book the additional night for me. This experience made me feel that the system is not friendly to Nepali guests and that they may strongly prefer online foreign-currency-style payment methods rather than Nepali rupees. I also tried to get the Nepali rate. It was around NPR 12,000–15,000, while the online rate was significantly cheaper. Based on the current currency conversion, the price difference felt like it could be about 3,000–5,000 rupees less online. This also made me feel they may not truly support Nepali pricing equally. The front desk staff were sometimes helpful, but they often didn’t seem genuine. Some staff seemed reluctant and not truly welcoming or happy to assist. In contrast, the only people who felt consistently happy to see me amd my family were the housekeeping staff and the guards. About the room it’s a bit small. I took a long warm shower, and after a while the water started leaking toward the bedroom corridor. However, there were also positives—despite being in Kathmandu, the tap had good water flow and the water color looked clear, not yellowish (and not as low-flow). Overall, the stay didn’t feel welcoming to me or my family. I’m not sure if this is because the system is designed not to cater well to Nepali guests, or simply because the staff attitude was “blah.” Would I stay again? It feels like 50–50. My honest advice is: if you’re not Nepali, you will love it. But if you are Nepali and want to feel genuinely welcomed, you should think carefully—because you could spend the same amount or much more less at a family-owned business and likely feel much more respected and welcomed."

"The rooms are this hotel are very nice. The location is perfect. The service levels are very high. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. In particular, Monika and Besang in the restaurant, Sita and Binita for the cleaning service, and all the security staff. Overall, our stay here was very good. The breakfast is very good, with a nice variety. If I could suggest some improvements, it would be fresh pastries for breakfast and maybe some alternatives to cows milk such as oat or almond milk. The other thing is, the gym needs a total refresh. I recommend staying here. It is a very good offer overall. Thank you for giving us a pleasant stay."

"The rooms are spacious, and the bathrooms are quite large too. Breakfast is mainly Western and Indian, and the taste is decent. The hotel's location is excellent, right in the city center, with many tourist attractions within 3km. The ground floor environment is also very good, with a large lawn and a big swimming pool (though I didn't see anyone swimming). The lawn area is lovely. Soundproofing is average, but everything else is good."

"This was my third stay, and I was here for 7 days. I feel the restaurant service has declined, especially at the breakfast buffet. I noticed a slightly overweight waiter who seemed unfriendly towards Chinese guests, preferring to serve Indian guests instead. He ignored requests from Chinese diners and was overly attentive to Indian ones. The breakfast order and serving speed were slow; out of several days, I only got my ordered eggs once. Big thumbs down. The restaurant manager also seemed indifferent towards Chinese guests. I'm not sure why, especially since there were so many Chinese diners."
