"An oasis of calm in this bustling city.
Great facilities, attentive but discrete staff, choice of restaurants and shopping on site
In places an older building that needs a slight update, but that’s also called character
Happily stay again without question ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Exceptional service. Staff are helpful and even brought a complimentary cake to celebrate my friend’s birthday. The Taran restaurant is excellent for breakfast, so many options and selections for foods! However, the dinner items were underwhelming. Also, the door to the kitchen is noisy and distracting when dining. Overall, it was a wonderful stay in well maintained living museum to conveniently get around.

My second trip to Kathmandu, first time in this hotel. It is amazing in every way. Buffet breakfast excellent, bed/pillows super comfortable, room clean...no complaints at all. Beautiful view of the hills from the window. Will definitely stay again.

Great hotel. Really made out trip to Kathmandu very enjoyable. Loved the roof top patio and the pool. Food was very good from the morning buffet to room service

Wonderful stay at a great value hotel in central Thamel with friendly staff. The location was convenient with plenty of shops, restaurants and attractions nearby. While it is an older building, it was still relatively clean, quiet and comfortable. The garden was nice for a bit of greenery and seclusion. The included breakfast buffet was also a nice bonus.

I stayed here four years ago. That made my hotel choice easy.
Nice quiet location near a short shopping street with a few restaurants nearby.
A fabulous attentive Five Star staff!
The Tibetan-themed décor is absolutely fabulous - amazing details. One can just keep looking to see more and more especially in the lobby.
The Yeti Bar and Terrace on the 5th floor is a good place to eat, drink and unwind; and chat with other world travellers.

Locations is right in the middle of themal on a quiet street. Lot of shops and restaurants lose by. Everything that you need for trekking is within 5 minutes walk.
Hotel is clean and simple. Staff are super helpful. Breakfast is simple but enough to get your day started.

The Hotel Vajra was an oasis in the dusty streets of Kathmandu. It was close to everything, the food was good, and the staff were very welcoming. I would stay here again.

On our last night in Nepal, we decided to stay in the Gaurishankar Suite since it was only ~$50 more than staying in the most basic rooms (note those did look very small) at the hotel. The suite is roomy, has a nice view, and a balcony (only complaint would be the wasp nest on the roof directly above the balcony which I'm sure they will deal with).
I had read some reviews stating that the food was a sub-par buffet-only here. Fortunately, those reviews were completely wrong. There is a big...
