Beautiful hotel. Very relaxing hotel
Nice quiet location Lovely heritage ambience Courteous and enthusiastic staff
Poor wifi Food could have been less oilier
Very friendly host and great service
L'esterno e i giardini sono molto belli ma le camere hanno bisogno di essere rinfrescate. Siamo rimasti 3 giorni: il primo giorno, c'è stato un evento e i due successivi ci sono stati dei matrimoni con sveglia alle 6.30 a.m. La struttura deve scegliere tra la tranquillità dei suoi ospiti o il business degli eventi.
The staff are excellent, and the facilities are quite good, especially the pool. The Newari-themed architecture of the hotel is lovely. The safe-deposit box is a very useful service.
Breakfast was good, but quite repetitive from day to day.
The Newari architecture and the building itself are very charming. The atmosphere of the hotel is quite nice. The staff are very congenial and helpful.
Nice people, decent breakfast.
Decor was a little dated.
Chambre au premier étage avec vue sur la piscine. Hôtel d'une architecture traditionnelle. Les chambres sont aussi dans le style Népalais. L'hôtel est à 20' à pied de Thamel. Le personnel est au petit soin.
Wifi instable à certaines heures.
L'aspect traditionnel de l'hôtel. Hotel confortable.
La vue de la chambre donne sur un toit.
Genuint, bra service och läget.
Wi-Fi fungerade inte hela tiden.
I stayed there for two days for filming. After explaining my situation in advance, the owner kindly gave me permission to film, and I was able to take some wonderful footage. The interior was beautiful with traditional Nepalese architecture, the rooms were spacious and clean, and the food in the restaurant was delicious.
The place and the kindness of the personnel
the maintenance
Lovely pool. Decorated with taste. Traditional architecture. Close to Thamel.
Noisy people in the swimming pool during the night.
Hotel has great location, very nice courtyard with pool, helpful and supportive staff. For breakfast you can choose local or continental option.
Quiet enclave around the very busy center
minor inconveniences were solved immediately
Always happy to come back to the Manaslu, beautiful Newari style hotel, beautiful gardens, great staff, excellent breakfast.
Nothing
The Nepali traditional ambiance and the exceptional service-oriented staff at every level!
The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. Built in 1972 with traditional Nepalese wooden features, this charming hotel is at the end of a crooked alley. It is within walking distance to Thamel and Durbar Square, but far enough away to be quiet. There is only the one road to get to the hotel; don't trust GPS directions that suggest coming in from the back. We learned this the hard way on foot, and later had to convince a taxi driver not to follow his phone directions.
The windows of our second-story room were covered with traditional-style shutters, limiting light and making it difficult to see outside. There is no elevator.
Very friendly and helpful stuff
Uncomfortable beds
Lovely Hotel. The staff are exceptional.
We loved the heritage of the hotel, garden and swimming pool area perfect for relaxing, the room was lovely with crisp white sheets. The only small negative was the shower was small and a little tired and no nice toiletries to use but we had our own so didn’t detract from the stay
Lovely room with a balcony which we enjoyed sitting out on.
Comfortable room, friendly and attentive staff
Needs some renovation, not so "luxury" as branded
Breakfast was wonderful! All the staff are really helpful and attentive. The common areas to sit outside are really lovely and comfortable and the WiFi was excellent. The building itself is beautiful, as are the grounds. The bed was comfortable and the onsite pool was lovely!
There are no lifts on the properly and the stairs are quite steep, which is useful information to know before one books. They sent a dirty random car to pick me up from the airport, for an expensive airport pickup. However, when I raised this issue they apologised and have me a discount and the car they sent for the airport drop was very good. The room itself was okay, since it's a heritage building and they had to preserve the facade, I couldn't open the windows and let any air in. There was no fan so it was AC or nothing. The chain on the door was very weak: I found out because I had asked the staff to bring me a chair and he just shoved the door open not realising it was on, and it broke off. That made me a little nervous from a security perspective.
Atmospheric heritage hotel with a lovely garden and swimming pool tucked away in a quite corner just a stone's thrown from dining and shopping options in Lazimpat and environs. Great value.
The beautiful property!! We have stayed there many times and we always return. Rooms are usually large and well decorated. Beds are comfortable. Staff is genuinely nice and professional. Beautiful gardens and pool. Clean and safe. Breakfast is excellent. We had dinner in the gardens with our trekking team the last night, the waiter was just class, very sensitive!
Like everything
It is simply beautiful - such a wonderful place. Staff were exceptional
Maybe better showers and a few bugs in our room
Very friendly staff who try to help with all your asks. Hotel is in a quiet road but close enough to walk to the Thamel area. A number of restaurants and shops nearby. Nice garden area to relax in with swimming pool (although a little cold as in the shade all day...). After trekking for 3 weeks it felt like staying in the Burj al Arab!
Wifi coverage is a bit hit or miss depending on where you are in the hotel. A few small repairs needed in some of the rooms.
Food was good
I didn’t like the rooms at all, mosquitoes in the room
lovely location, down a small side street away from the main road. nice and quiet, but still close (15 min walk) to Thamel. lots of nice restaurants within a 5-10 min walk.
room wasn’t cleaned or towels replaced during whole of 5 night stay. had to ask for clean towels and more toilet roll.
The selection for breakfast was good. Staff were very friendly and helpful and could not do enough for you. Made heaps of suggestions on what to do and see and organised a driver for me
The room could have been slightly cleaner and the lighting was not great. WiFi was good when it worked, however dropped in and out all the time
Breakfast was plentiful with a range of items including fresh fruit. Staff were friendly though sometimes a little slow. All spoke good English.
There was some confusion over the booking which after a long travel time was not appreciated, said they had tried to get in contact but this was not the case. All sorted in the end.
Friendly and helpful staff. Second time staying after a 12 day trek. Room was better as had a good shower. Breakfast just as good as before.
The hotel is peaceful and calm, away from the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu’s busy streets.
I thought the breakfast was not good quality. It was a buffet of congealed hot foods (eggs, beans, potatoes etc) and dry toast bread. Disappointed to be offered only instant coffee at a hotel of this standard.
Decor a bit tired, in particular the bathroom. Think better value for money available elsewhere. Only seems to be guests that are booked by tour companies who stay (presumably for lower rate)
Hotel staff were excellent starting with Rabindra. Since we were leaving early in the morning, he even organised takeaway breakfast for us.
Nice breakfast amazing staff
Food is five star
The Staff are friendly, but not recommended for visitors who are searching for calm environment as the hotel receives lots of wedding and events bookings and its always conducted at their outside garden. music is load and don't stop till 9pm. But you can enjoy seeing the wedding as its happening in front of the lobby and the outside garden. the breakfast and food is average. not bad but not good nor meets international standards.
the noise of the continues events
Breakfast is absolutely great.But the Wifi connection is very poor. Staffs are though very co-operative. the ambiance also very comfortable.
the wifi connection should be better.
The property grounds are beautiful, having a balcony overlooking the garden and pool was incredibly peaceful for tea in the mornings. The breakfast was good, in a nice space.
The beds are a bit uncomfortable, would have been nice to have two pillows per bed.
The building is stunning and ideal if you want a heritage hotel within easy reach of Durbar Marg shops and restaurants.
It has a dated interior and the whole hotel is in need of renovation. The breakfast buffet is a little lacklustre compared to others in Kathmandu. Better quality bread/pastries along with fresh juices would be welcomed. The breakfast staff were slow and had to be prompted to refill items.
The staff were lovely & friendly & helpful. The buildings are stunning. The pool was glorious.
The price of drinks & food. £6 for a local beer. £18 buffet dinner.
Great quiet place, food was just ok, the breakfast was dissapointing.
Breakfast
great staff
beautiful grounds
The hotel is family-friendly and looks like a heritage building converted into a hotel. The hotel is very spacious with a large swimming pool, parking space, and backyard garden. They serve a complementary standard buffet breakfast. They also have a restaurant with a bar for basic lunch and dinner. My family never felt bored staying at the hotel.
I was going on a trek for 7 days. They allowed me leave a bag I wouldn’t need at the hotel as I’d coming back there. The staff were extremely helpful, accommodating and nice. Location was great, close to Thamel and the airport. I’m a chatty person, so got to know the staff quite well. Can’t say enough about how great they all were.
ok place, not a great bathroom. Service is alright, be prepared to argue to get your negotiated rate. Would stay again if it is cheap, else would prefer Hotel Tibet in the area.
I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights. We had tranquil atmosphere. Internet access was good. Accessibility to main road was also good. A good restaurant with variety of options is also there within 5 minutes walk. In the hotel, room was clean but with torn and dirty bed sheet. Food was not so tasty in breakfast. The server does not respond promptly for empty basket during the breakfast time. Service from other staffs is slow and some time no response even they assured. Need to ring second time. No refrigerator available although it was assured during booking. The neighborhood is ecologically nice.
