Kathmandu Jagannath Temple Hotels

"This hotel is just absolutely excellent, I stay in hotels for 90plus nights a year and this without doubt has the nicest and most helpful staff you will ever find. Communication was great before we even arrived and the owner is really helpful with tips on where to eat and shop locally. The hotel is an absolutely charming building and has a wonderful courtyard which is a haven of tranquility when you return from a busy day. It is however nice and central so you are right near so many good restaurants and shops; the perfect location. The beds are comfortable, the water is hot, the WiFi is really fast (I was able to stream a live rugby match in HD over VPN to the UK with no buffering) and the breakfast….. oh the breakfast! Sat in the lovely courtyard eating freshly prepared local bread with masala potato filling or the muesli with fresh fruit and wonderful yoghurt or any of their options is simply a gorgeous start to the day. We have fallen in love with Nepal and hope to return and will definitely be staying here again."

"Quite expensive, has serious hygiene problems and it's generally poorly kept. Find somewhere else. "

"During my stay, my wallet went missing from my hotel room. I had left it on the desk because shops were closed on polling day. When I returned to my room later that day, the wallet was no longer there. CCTV footage confirmed that I had taken my wallet into the room the previous night. This means it disappeared while it was outside the room. When I reported the issue, the manager (LP) said he was “not able to help” and refused to provide records showing who had entered my room while I was out. I also had to ask the reception five times before I was finally able to speak with him, as he was not present at the hotel during working hours. As a result, I lost $100 in cash and two important credit cards. Unfortunately, the hotel management did not offer any assistance, explanation, or gesture of goodwill to help ease the stress caused by this situation. I was very disappointed with how this matter was handled and expected a more responsible and supportive response from the hotel management."

"Had a lovely staff here. Room was lovely. Staff could not have been more friendly and helpful. Lovely pool and restaurants, amazing choice at breakfast. Near several locations you can walk to and explore. The airport collection was really easy. Good wifi in all areas of the hotel. Would stay here again and at other Barahi group properties. "

"Great location."

"Several shops nearby and Mountain View’s on the rooftop of the hotel "

"Everything at Hotel Shanker is truly great. I really feel at home in this beautiful hotel. The staff are magnificent and everyone is so friendly and helpful. The architecture of this old historical palace is stunning. The entrance and lobby is so beautiful and great for photos. The garden in front is wonderful and the pool is terrific. I highly recommend staying at Hotel Shanker. It’s the only place I stay when visiting Kathmandu. I’m already looking forward to a return visit!! Thank you Hotel Shanker for treating me so well and giving me such great memories and photos!!"

"If you want an authentic Nepalese place this is the place to stay. My sister and I had the villa which was amazing with our very own balcony and courtyard which no one visited. Breakfast was wonderful, there are quite a few restaurants and the food was superb in all of them. There was a quaint little bar, outside areas with heaters if needed. The Nepalese people are generally the nicest people, always helpful and friendly. Their English was great so that certainly makes it easier. Tick of approval."

"What an amazing hotel with everything to praise for. Starting from room stuff to restaurant stuff to front desk people. Sajan at restaurant was one of the kindest and polite waiters i have ever come across. Will come back again. "
