The property is a very relaxing refuge for a traveller. The staff were very helpful and accommodating during my stay which is a call-out and a big part of the charm of the place. The rooms were as one would expect from an old world style establishment, a bit generous and functional. The grounds were pleasant place to relax.

i have visited Hotel Vajra since 2013. It is one of the most reliably safe and restful places in Kathmandu and a great location point for wandering and exploration. It is western-friendly but very very local. Amazing rooftop vistas and meditation Pagoda. Highest recommendation!

Space Calm & a Creative Atmosphere in the city!

This hotel is made for creatives and artists who want a quiet place to stay with spacious rooms, while also being in the heart of the city. Its a beautifully built hotel with some amazing wood carving, and a wonderful spacious feel while walking through the interiors especially the restaurant. The gardens and patio are beautiful with many seating areas. You won’t find flat screen tvs here but you will find a good writing desk and excellent wifi. The bathroom was clean but could do with a little interior design sparkle. The food was excellent, and the owner and all the other staff were very helpful and interesting to converse with.

The surrounding area was quite busy and a bit messy, which made crossing the streets frustrating. There were only small local shops nearby, and I often needed Google Translate to communicate. The hotel building itself was unique, and most of the staffs were generally helpful and friendly. However, my room was noisy, the carpet was dirty and dusty, and the toilet was difficult to flush — the seat was loose and kept sliding. I myself tried to fix it but couldn’t. The bathroom also had an unpleasant smell. There was a small misunderstanding about my bill due to a staff mistake; after it was resolved, they simply said “okay” and let me go, without offering any apology.

Hotel Vajras is the most restful and quiet hotel in the area. i have visited Hotel Vajra since 2013 and every time i do, i find the staff is super friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and modest, and the grounds are impeccable. Though it is a relatively recent construction, the attention to cultural accuracy in the details and styling feels authentic. There is ample space on ground for impromptu meetings, a well-appointed theater space, an amazing roof-top meditation room, and a library of ancient nepali texts. Extremely reasonable rates!

Bo heat

Der var ingen radiator på værelset. Vi tjekkede ud efter en nat. Fik at vide at vi bare kunne have bedt om en radiator. I min verden kan man bede om en hårtørrer men varme/radiator skal stå på værelset så man selv kan bestemme om den skal være tændt. Det er i dem grad dårlig service og da jeg tjekkede ud var det første jeg fik at vide, at jeg ikke kunne få penge tilbage på trods af, at jeg sket ikke havde bedt om det. Ejer virker meget fokuseret på at spare så der kan tjenes mere.
