"The Vajra hotel is located below Swayambunath in a beautiful garden that is incredibly quiet for Kathmandu. It is an amazing heritage property. The staff are so kind, helpful and excellent! This is a special place but not for guests who like a standard, corporate style hotel. "

Nepali Heritage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Très bon emplacement, calme malgré l'agitation des environs, personnel très serviable, à la réception Ranul et Rajy , au service du petit déjeuner Nous avions une chambre vue jardin avec balcon...simplement la superficie de 27M2 ne nous semble pas correcte.."

Kantipur Temple House

10/10 Excellent

"This place is super special. A little oasis with great walkability to the sites in Thamel. The grounds and building are absolutely stunning. We loved the free rooftop yoga every morning and the free heritage walk around Thamel. Every detail of the building is absolutely beautiful--truly like staying in a sacred temple. If you are looking for a unique and authentic Nepali experience in the heart of Thamel, this is the place."
