    A beautiful building. Really beautiful. It has a style and a soul. If you like traditional Nepalese buildings, and everybody does, you will love this one. Outstanding staff. High personal culture, great attire, naturally smiling, always very helpful. Excellent food that warrants a separate paragraph. Fresh and tasty. Served in a relaxing, quiet restaurant. It was so good that we never went for any street food even though street food was one of the things "we had to do". Perfect location. A short walk to Durbar Square with the Asan Bazar halfway through. You have all the Kathmandu noise and beauty just around the corner, and it's so quiet inside (our room window faced the inner courtyard). Some people may not like the smell of old wooden wardrobes in the rooms. I've found it charming.

    Nothing! We had a wonderful stay and will certainly choose to come back here when we are in Kathmandu again.

    It is a gorgeous large hotel with a generous garden. The architecture is vintage Nepali traditional style even though it is a modern construction. The room was large and cozy. They gave us a heater because it was almost 10 deg C at nights. The staff is friendly and helpful and very cooperative. The in house dining is incredibly tasty and charmingly served. Don't miss eating the thali there. You will come back for it again and again! We were also offered a free 1.5 hour heritage walk facility and free morning yoga on the terrace during our stay! The hotel is a short walk from the main Thamel market road as well as the Garden of Dreams.

    Nothing really.

    The staff were all lovely both the restaurant and reception. The food was good as well and they even kindly packed a breakfast for us as our flight out or Kathmandu left early. The building is amazing….although built in ? 1997 there is a lot of lovely traditional newari woodwork in the building. As well although it is in busy Thamel it is in a quiet side street.

    Literally nothing I didn't like.

    Staff helpful in every way. Building is a beautiful work of art in Newari style. Absolutely ideal location for Thamel, just a sort walk away, but quiet with a beautiful garden. Comfortable rooms also a work of art with brick and carved woodwork.

    A home away from home, Kantipur was one of the most welcoming places I have ever stayed. The kindness, sincerity aesthetic and dedication to eco-sustainability was unmatched, it started my experience in Nepal on the best start - not to mention the breakfast options and the enthusiasm to ensure I always had enough coffee. It was a delight to come back to my room after spending the evening out, to find an electric blanket turned on and hot water bottles in my bed. Helped with any kind of home sickness that was happening. I'll be back again.

    It would have been better if the hotel had an actual temple history or something like that, not just purpose built like so. It is kind of expected, but there is no comfort in this hotel. The hotel says they are very eco-friendly, so they ask us to use everything sparingly, don't ask for extra towels, try not to ask for a heater, etc. It just felt like an excuse for saving money for them, but hey, in the end they provided us with whatever we asked for, and we didn't have to brow-beat them into submission for it either. The breakfast staff were extremely helpful and friendly, and the food was okay, but like I said, it was okay. In Nepal, during the 5 days staying there, we did not manage to have a wow meal, unfortunately.

    It's an experience staying here, which is why I booked it in the first place. It fulfilled my expectation in that regards. We took some really nice pictures here. The staff is friendly and helpful.

    We had dinner at the hotel and it took a very long while, perhaps because it was low season and there weren't many people. It would have been ok if the waiting service made it more amenable by engaging a bit more or even offering some beer simple snacks to make the time more passable. Also, the portions we quite small and this didn't add to the overall experience. Other than this, nothing everything else was fine.

    The hotel architecture is impressive, the atmosphere magical. Breakfast was a treat, not exuberant but with good variety, also breakfast area makes it even more desirable. Staff was extremely helpful with all sorts of things, including printing out important documents for us free of charge. Excellent people and place.

    The rooms don't come with kettles already, you have to ask for them, which isn't a really big problem but i didn't realise that so we didn't have a kettle the whole time. Otherwise it was great value for money

    I loved the atmosphere and the staff spoke very good English and were extremely attentive and kind, they were very smart and well mannered. I was actually blown away by how professional and well composed they were.
