An exceptional heritage property that just oozes charm and uniqueness. Everything about the Baber Mahal was wonderful, the location, the room, and the unique setting with a courtyard full of individual shops and restaurants aside of the hotel’s main dining. The spa offers great (not too inflated) treatments and the pool a lovely addition for a quick cool off. A wonderful sanctuary in the middle of Kathmandu and we will certainly return.

I am a frequent traveller and I can honestly say this is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff were fantastic, the hotel is beautiful, characterful and spotlessly clean. It’s a bit of a warren which adds to the period feel. I really hope I have the opportunity to return soon and if you are travelling to Kathmandu I have no reservation in recommending this hotel.

The staff were the high;ignition of this hotel. They bent over backwards to ensure my comfort. For example, when I asked about an upgrade, they quickly upgraded my room to one of their “modern” rooms. Once I moved into this superb room my satisfaction was guaranteed. The included breakfast was small but very adequate with fresh juice, fruits, and many other local as well as western dishes. I really loved the coffee.

If you want an authentic Nepalese place this is the place to stay. My sister and I had the villa which was amazing with our very own balcony and courtyard which no one visited. Breakfast was wonderful, there are quite a few restaurants and the food was superb in all of them. There was a quaint little bar, outside areas with heaters if needed. The Nepalese people are generally the nicest people, always helpful and friendly. Their English was great so that certainly makes it easier. Tick of approval.

All the staff were welcoming and informative, the breakfast was excellent and the staff there were great as well. It has a sauna and a pool which we utilized. It's a beautiful place tucked away from the traffic and noise of Kathmandu.

A tastefully conceived oasis from the chaos of modern Kathmandu far from the crush of commerce and entertainment aimed at the mass of tourists. Location provides access to restaurants, bars, antiques and boutiques on the doorstep of the hotel set in the quiet, liesurely ambience of the historic Babar Mahal Revisted complex.

A charming hotel with charming staff. Lots of dark wood and glass chandeliers, beautifully decorated and very comfortable rooms, all in excellent condition. Part of a complex with restaurants and shops, so plenty of choice. Friendly and helpful staff completes a memorable stay. Convenient location too.

The hotel had its charm and it was pleasant being there but it wasn’t close to anything and the area isn’t clean, sidewalks are broken up and the traffic was nerve racking. The staff were very helpful and breakfasts were very good.
