First Class. There was never an issue during our 11 day at this splendid taste of history. The staff were fantastic. The manager was on hand and accommodating. The room was spotless and homely. If I were in Kathmandu I’d definitely stay at this hotel again.

The location is good, the hotel is located in a nice big compound which felt kingly. The 24 hour customer service is nice. The only thing that I caution fellow travellers is that the pictures of rooms are slightly deceiving. They look grand and spacious in photos but in reality not so. I paid about $70 for a king size bed room but felt as if it was not worth it.

This is a beautiful hotel. Our friend got married here as well. It is a hot spot for weddings. There is always one going on. The staff was very helpful and kind. Our booked room had ants in it, so they upgraded us to a better room. The new room had a little bit of a dust problem, but it still a beautiful room and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Breakfast was great too! Definitely recommend.

The hotel is gorgeous. Clean, friendly staff and quick to help with anything. The world outside the walls is a complete contrast, dusty, congested etc. Staying 10 days at the Hotel Shanker was wonderful. Would definitely recommend
