The property was beautiful, the staff was amazing! There was a beautiful bar and a happy hour! The bathroom was a bit small and the room seemed a little dated, but it’s an older palace and the history is so cool. We would return again! The area around the hotel is okay, it’s just very hard to cross a street as the traffic is insane-but that’s all of Kathmandu.

This is a beautiful hotel with a lot of history. Beautiful architecture and garden. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. I’ve stayed here many times. It is my favorite hotel in Kathmandu! I highly recommend staying at Hotel Shankar, especially if it’s your first visit to Nepal. My stays at the hotel are always memorable!

The hotel actually has a’family’ ambience. From the doorman to the cleaners and the concierge to the management, everyone is treated fairly and warmly. They are truly ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen.

“We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Shankar. The service was exceptional, and the ambience was warm and inviting. Its convenient location made it easy to get around, and the late checkout option added to the overall comfort. We are very happy with our experience and highly recommend this hotel!”

Plenty of space to relax and unwind in a quiet spot indooras or within the gardens. Good choice of food and drinks. Friendly, courteous staff made me, a lone female traveller, feel at ease. Very good value for money. Easy walking distance to Garden of Dreams.

Fabulous! I’ve never been disappointed yet in the many times I’ve stayed there. It’s always a memorable experience staying at Shanker Hotel. Beautiful architecture, great garden and outdoor pool, and absolutely wonderful staff. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. If you’ve never been to Kathmandu before then this is the place to stay. You won’t regret it!!!
