As usual the Shanker offers that sophisticated home away from home feel that is both authentic and not pretentious. Always enjoy the poolside lunch and afternoon soother! The garden was the daily scenery for beautiful traditional weddings and other ceremonies that made the stay that more immersive. Breakfast really pleasant, room dinner menu very decent, prices in line with service. Personnel really attentive and helpful.

This time i was really pleased with everything - only small comment for the kitchen: everything was really tasty; just the caesar salad would benefit a rethink as it is not how ‘those who know what a caesar salad is’ expect to have. And one more thing, I would upgrade the poolside menu with some good smoothies and fresh juices (offer is a little limited).

Breakfast was excellent, so much to choose from. We also had dinner one night and the food was absolutely delicious. We drank in the Bar and were well looked after, also the pool bar/restaurant was very good and the staff very attentive. An excellent choice of hotel for our last few nights in Kathmandu and an added advantage is that they hold weddings most days and the music and dancing was just fantastic.

Hair salon- my wife had a massage which was excellent but then she said her hair was washed in cold water and partially dried by a lovely young girl, whilst the stylist dealt with someone else. The stylist then stopped dealing with the other lady and finished off the drying of her hair and partially used the straighteners whilst she was sat in the middle of the Salon with no mirror in front of her So she couldn’t see what was happening- it all worked out in the end , her hair was ok but she don’t think she’d chance going again.

The buffet breakfast and choice was probably the best we have ever seen and the staff serving were absolutely delightful. The swimming pool is fabulous and the pool staff were awesome. Rooms were well appointed and very comfortable. Has a lovely elegance about it.

Reception staff were cold and abrupt. I paid my bill 30 mins before checking out and was getting into my taxi when I got called back by a different receptionist questioning if I had paid. I showed my receipts and still kept checking as if he did not believe me, and not a single apology when he realised I was right. So sad when all the other staff had been so wonderful. He was a grumpy old man!

People were so accommodating, a beautiful place to stay in a great location. The staff up front were great with recommendations and help with my rides and transfers. The breakfast was incredible, as someone that is gluten free they brought me handmade gluten free pancakes and freshly baked bread everyday. Everyone went above and beyond to make sure I had options to eat and were exceptional. I couldn’t recommend a better place and friendlier or more accommodating staff!

Breakfast was plentiful regarding choice. Attentive staff. This was our second stay within the same month. The room for our second stay 21-23rd November was certainly more comfortable and well appointed than 3-5th room which was a little tired. This second room had a lovely bathroom, was well laid out with very versatile lighting.

Reception staff were efficient but a little more distant compared to so many people we came across during our stay in Nepal

Wow. I had booked my parents stay here for two days. They were amazed by the hotel and the room they got. They loved the fact it was a heritage hotel with history. The staff were super helpful and helped arrange for tour guide who was knowledgeable and patient throughout their tour. The friendly staff, clean rooms and the beautiful gardens made their stay in Kathmandu so special. The breakfast was excellent as well.

We visit Kathmandu every year or two and have for several years stayed at the Shanker before and after trekking. It’s close to Thamel but well away from the busy road, making it a quiet haven. The staff are very pleasant and attentive. The whole place is very clean, the rooms are comfortable and well equipped. A large selection of foods for breakfast, a swimming pool and large garden. Good value for a quality hotel.

Nothing to dislike.

I had a truly enjoyable stay, thanks to the attentive and welcoming staff, especially at reception. The highlight of my experience was the perfectly cooked steak—my compliments to the chef! The service and hospitality were top-notch, making my stay even more memorable. I will definitely be rebooking when I return to KTM in a few weeks. Thank you for making my visit a comfortable one.

The gym is quite tiny but not to worry, theres one nearby (5 mins walk)

Staff were very accommodating, the room I got on the 5th floor was very spacious). There were ample "sp[aces" to hang around in the hotel. The breakfast area is the largest I have seen in Nepal. Great garden as well, with an outdoor pool at the end. And finally, I have to commend their Wi-Fi.

I had some small issues, but the hotel staff was extremely swift to address that, so they are not even worthy of mention.

A lovely hotel. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Gorgeous pool and the restaurant area is good. The room we had was a little less luxurious than the lobby but to be expected in an old building. The room was still very comfy and clean with a lovely hot shower. Location was good - a short drive or a 20 minute walk (on a very busy but generally safe road) from Thamel for restaurants and shopping.

Our room and some public areas were very hot (the heating was set high) but everything else was excellent.
