Top Swayambhunath Hotel Reviews

Kathmandu Marriott Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Everything about this place is top notch. It’s clean - and I mean clean, clean - , the staff is fantastic, food is great, and the rooms are spacious. Good location, too. We were made feel welcome from the moment we arrived, and they remembered me by name or room number without me having to say anything. Wonderful. Nepal itself is absolutely amazing, too. One of the best trips of our lives. City is super clean; no garbage bags scattered everywhere and no sewage- or garbage-smells. Artisans everywhere; whether it’s metalsmithing , woodworking, painting, or food. The people are refined and polite. Absolute treat. Still very much a hidden gem and one we’d love to go back to. Mind you we traveled with two kids, one of which is only 2 years old."

Hotel Barahi Kathmandu

10/10 Excellent

"Great location in Kathmandu. The beds were very comfortable, room spacious and staff attentive. Breakfast had an amazing spread. I used the pool late afternoon and it was pretty cold- even though they said the sun would heat it during the day. It was worth it for the spectacular view and sunset with eagles soaring in the sky."

Central Courtyard - Heritage Hötel & Artisan Café

10/10 Excellent

"My 5 day stay was absolutely perfect, super friendly and accommodating staff. The breakfast was delicious, the cafe area great to hang out at. Cappuccino was the best. The location super convent in the middle of everything, but tugged away a bit and quiet. Absolutely recommend."

Hotel Mulberry

10/10 Excellent

"Clean nice rooms. Good location, great rooftop views and pool."

Thamel Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, excellent staff, would definitely stay here again!"

Oasis Kathmandu Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is clean, close to many restaurants, shops and central to all things tourist life but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood area so very quiet at night. The restaurant has good food too. If you want authentic Nepalese cuisine ask for it as normally they tone down the chili for the tourists. Breakfast was good. AC works great too as well as fast WiFi. Staff and Service were exceptional as they kept our bags for a few days when we were trekking tigers. We would stay here again."

Hotel Vajra

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing! Extremely helpful and kind. I know it is an older hotel and the use of water is a concern in Nepal. The toilets and sink tend to run a long time. No worries for us but just a concern for water conservation. I would definitely stay here again!"

Hotel Aashraya Home Pvt. Ltd.

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with all the facilities I needed. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel to others. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"

Nepali Heritage Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Très bon emplacement, calme malgré l'agitation des environs, personnel très serviable, à la réception Ranul et Rajy , au service du petit déjeuner Nous avions une chambre vue jardin avec balcon...simplement la superficie de 27M2 ne nous semble pas correcte.."
