Hotel Shanker - Palatial Heritage Kathmandu

Great stay at Hotel Shankar! 😊 The rooms are spacious and clean, exceeded my expectations. Special shoutout to Mr. Sudarshan for making check-in and check-out super smooth - really appreciated his help! 👍 Food was also yummy, enjoyed the local and international options. Would definitely recommend Hotel Shankar for a comfortable stay in Kathmandu! 🌟

Wow, the people there were so kind and helpful, it was amazing! This old, historic building has been turned into a hotel, and honestly, the renovation is just brilliantly done. The breakfast buffet was incredible, they had everything you could want – local stuff, Indian food, and stuff from all over the world. The restaurant is a bit on the expensive side, but the food is seriously delicious.

As a single traveller, I have had the most enjoyable stay at the Shanker Palatial Heritge Hotel for a month.|Its ideal location means you are away from all the noise & traffic of Thamel. Yet only a £2 taxi ride to the centre. So you get a good night's sleep.|You can sun bathe in peace by the beautiful pool. Then head into town later.|I would not advise booking a hotel in Thamel centre as its so noisey and the traffic is ridiculous. Stay at the Shanker and just walk, or taxi to the centre.|The Shanker staff are so polite & respectfull. Breakfast was amazing, they served me Porridge oats in Soya milk, with various nuts & pomegranate every morning, then served poached eggs or omelette of your choice. Lunch & dinner again was exemplary. Spa service is available on site, as are excursions arranged by in house travel representative, Chitwan Safari, Everest & Himalayas close up flights etc, all at reasonable prices. Its worth mentioning there is a fabulous and extensive gym about a 5 minute walk from the hotel called Evolve Fitness. Im planning on coming back again next year for a month, as the staff have been so friendly, and this hotel has everything you need for a long stay, in its Palestial setting.|You don't need to be a hiker to stay here. |Just come and enjoy the Palatial ambience & culture for a month and unwind in the sun.

Great hotel! Super clean, well-kept, and really pleasant. The pool is big and beautiful, with comfy chairs and a lovely garden full of little squirrels running around. The staff are friendly and always happy to help. Breakfast is delicious — lots of variety, fresh juices, coffee, tea, and an egg menu with different toppings made to order. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend!

Our experience was exceptional and we would rank the hotel 5*! I went with my old parents and <10 yr old daughter and stayed 3 nights. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless (7th floor), the beds were super comfy, AC worked very well, the hotel truly felt like a palace with its exceptional decor. The room had all the amenities you expect from a 5* hotel. The breakfast and la carte menu dinner were excellent too. The staff was super helpful for anything you would need. The free airport transfer was helpful. The swimming pool and area was also very clean and welcoming. The location was excellent as well. I would definitely stay here again!

Pro's- Staff very accomodating. Location was quiet yet very walkable to Thamel District- perfect place to relax outside by the pool after a busy day in Kathmandu or after coming off a trek. Food-Breakfast offered up a lot of variety as did restaurant dinner meals (also this was reasonably priced). Breakfast area was bright and welcoming. Spa was somewhat expensive considering where we were but to be expected. Con's- communication via email was seriously lacking, requested a place to keep my bags prior to check-in, had to send two messages before getting a response and by the time the response came at the very last minute, I had made other arrangements. Dinner location was uninspiring, downstairs, low ceilings, no natural light, bar area was dark, small cramp space. Rooms with double beds were small where as the rooms with king beds seemed much more spacious. That said, I would return, if for no other reason than the pool area was great place to relax and have a drink, so quiet and peaceful and the staff at the hotel were incredibly kind and helpful.

Heritage hotel with comfortable bed and amazing food . The bar was amazing too and I loved their deals for the happy hour. Nice pool too. Recommend using plastic glasses at the bar pool so that drinks can be enjoyed while swimming . Highly recommended.

Hotel Shanker is just beautiful and grand. The staff are all so friendly and helpful. We loved our stay and will definitely come again next time we are in Kathmandu. Thanks so much.
