Hotel Shanker-Palatial Heritage Kathmandu, Kathmandu

Staying at the hotel was a unique experience. The rooms were large, clean, and comfortable, reflecting the historical character of the former palace. The location was wonderful, offering a fresh and calming space just outside the busy tourist area. The dining experience was enjoyable with well-presented and tasty dishes, though the room felt a bit empty. The service was a mix of attentive and helpful staff with some minor inconveniences, but overall an enjoyable stay.

The hotel is ideally located in the heart of Kathmandu, offering convenient access to all western luxuries. The rooms are comfortable and of typically Western 4* standard, but some could be more spacious, especially the bathrooms. The service is genuinely friendly and super speedy in fulfilling requests. The dining experience offers a huge variety of tasty options, but some find the fare a bit insipid. The facilities include a great deal of architectural character for a unique stay.

The hotel offers comfortable rooms with a decent amount of English-speaking TV channels and amply sized. The service is excellent, especially with the front desk and tour operator being extremely patient and accommodating. The location is a definite plus, being very close to Thamel and Durbar Square. The dining experience is fantastic with a massive buffet and wide variety. However, the facilities are below par with old ceilings, and the dining options are limited.

The hotel offers comfortable and clean rooms with friendly staff, but the city view is not appealing. Despite being behind some scaffolding, the hotel provides a standard service. The location is convenient for exploring Thamel but may lack some charm. Dining options are varied and of good quality.

The hotel is nestled in a serene area with a large garden upfront, offering a peaceful escape from the city chaos. While the rooms were clean and warm, the lobby could have been more inviting with better lighting. The location is conveniently close to nearby attractions and markets, perfect for unwinding and exploring. The dining experience was mixed, with a decent variety of international and local cuisine but lacking authentic Nepalese dishes. Overall, a tranquil retreat with some room for improvements.

The hotel offered comfortable and clean rooms; however, they were smaller than expected. The service was top-notch with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The location was ideal, just a short distance from the city center. The dining experience was excellent with a wide variety of options. Overall, a good value for money stay with a few minor drawbacks.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of experiences. The rooms offered contrasting experiences; one was small, dated, and dark, located near the kitchen with a strong spice smell every morning, while the other was large, very clean, featuring a modern bathroom, comfortable bed with outlets on both sides, and great amenities like TV, daily water supply, and efficient laundry service. The service was superb with super polite and attentive staff always ready to assist with a smile. The location was convenient for accessing eateries in Thamel within a 5-minute walk, though the surroundings could be a bit noisy. The dining options varied from fantastic to lacklustre, but the facilities like a spacious dining hall, swimming pool, and lovely garden were impressive.
