We had a wonderful stay. We were greeted with smiles and some fresh juice. The room was beautiful and clean. I loved that we could open the windows to let fresh air in. The grounds were beautiful and an amazing background for pictures. Breakfast was included and was very delicious.

Stayed at this hotel 6 nights with 3 separate check-ins as part of an organized tourist trip. The quiet location seems inconvenient. However, it is possible to walk into the city center within 10 minutes or so, if you are inclined to do this. The area outside of the hotel grounds is safe, but missing sidewalks, electric wires are hanging from poles, but this is the general condition in Nepal. The hotel staff tried hard to give good service and were always very polite. The breakfast buffet is quite extensive, with a waffle and omelet station. Had dinner once each in both of the in-house restaurants. Good service and good food. The beds were comfy and the AC worked well. Overall the place looked and smelled clean, but we did see a mouse in the lobby our last day there.

This was a work trip and we booked five rooms for a few nights. Checkin: Rude front desk, on check-in telling me I had to provide passport and wouldn’t accept drivers license. Straight away into an attitude like he was doing me a big favour and I shouldn’t be allowed to stay… what a welcome! Later in the stay one of my staff was harassed by the front door guard and told the motorbike helmet he had in his hands wasn’t allowed inside the hotel!?!? I also had my helmet in my hands (we had just parked rental bikes) and this guard at the door started on me. We eventually ignored the guard and took our helmets inside but we felt this was started due to my staff member being Bangladeshi. To top it all off I went to front desk to ensure bill was sorted and checked out. Four hours later as I am getting into my taxi a front desk guy races up to the taxi and demands to know what room I am in so he can make sure I have paid! That’s a first! Pool was never open, and a heads up the pictures are all of the conference centre not the hotel which blares music from weddings etc most nights into the singles glazed windows… it’s a 3 star hotel imo… dated, worn, and rude staff. Many many other options.

I love the Yak! What I don't love is that Orbitz tripled the price of my plane tickets to Pokhara, then cancelled the flight due to smoke, and now won't give my money back on the return flight. I WILL NEVER USE ORBITZ AGAIN!! Ripoff!!!!!!

The staff made my visit one I’d never forget. Anamika was very welcoming and made my stay her personal mission to be great. Her recommendations advice and attention to my desires were met with the highest respect. I definitely recommend the Yak & Yeti for any travel need. They offer a personalized experience at the travel desk and spa. They offer space for events personal or professional. On site dining consists of bar, buffet and fine dining. Enjoy your stay! I did!!

Yak and Yeti would be so much better if they -like good hotels around the world - would adopt 'green' policies. Give guests the option to NOT have bedsheets changed every day. And PLEASE have an alternative to using so many plastic water bottles! This has to end for guests to not feel guilty about their excessive use of plastic while staying there. Every thing else was great, appreciated the design and aesthetics in the building.

This lovely hotel deserves its outstanding reputation - not only because it is physically charming and lovely, but because both the food and staff are outstanding. I stayed a week alone at the Yak and Yeti before departing for a trek to EBC. The staff went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable. Every morning I ate at their delicious breakfast buffet. There were selections featuring Indian, Nepali, and American foods, as well as made to order omelettes. As someone else noted, their gardens are like an oasis from the chaos of Kathmandu. I am going to get caught in the lockdown upon my return from EBC, and I intend to spend my lockdown time at the Yak and Yeti - I can't think of a better place to be "stuck". I look forward to returning there soon!

Stayed here two times--for a few days before our trek, and a couple of days after our trek. No hot showers on the first stay, but the showers were nice and hot the second stay. There were fewer people in the hotel on the second stay. Got some food poisoning at the end of my stay.

Im sure this was once an incredible property- but it has become quite dated. The room wasnt very clean- there was dirt in the corners and piles of hair stuck along furniture. The check in process was incredibly slow- despite having a full staff to man the desk. The breakfast (which, the original restaurant was under construction, so we had to use another area) was so terrible- I only had a bite of dry pastry and a coffee- and even after letting them know that I no longer wanted to eat there- was charged full price- nearly $20USD. Any other hotel would have apologized and taken that off the bill- knowing I ate nothing. Despite my complaints of uncleanliness and poor food- generally, the staff were lovely and tried to be helpful. The service is fine. But you can do much better for the price in Kathmandu.

Elevator has some problems and the power goes out briefly at times which can be scary if in the elevator at that time. The lounge is ok. It is only open from 5:30 - 8:30 or so.

This property is old and the recommended by the U.S. organizations as it i meets the U.S. standards for safety. But it is an old hotel, bathroom smells of urine, no plugs in normal range. Everything is under the tables or behind the end table. They only give three towels, no face towel. These are first world issues. But for the cost you are paying you do not get the items you need. The people are great. But I am sure the management just wants to make money and cut the cost down.

This hotel has a great name, but the reality doesn't quite match up. After staying there several times we found that the least expensive rooms are in an old part of the hotel and haven't been updated in some time. The A/C often cannot go below 23C, even at full power. Paying an extra $10-20/ night gets a room that is much much nicer. Booking through the hotel directly gets free airport transfers. Booking through hotels.com means paying for the airport transfer ($15) but paying less for the room. Paying for the airport transfer is usually well worth it. Room staff is friendly, but be sure to put the safety lock on the door if you don't want them to enter immediately after they knock. Think of the knock as a warning that they are coming in rather than an inquiry as to whether or not it is OK. Restaurants at the hotel are quite expensive. Price wise it makes lots of sense to add the in-house buffet breakfast to the room rate before you get there. The service, even with the buffet, is slow and the restaurant seems to frequently be overwhelmed at breakfast when it can be difficult to find a table or the item on the buffet you are interested in. The evening buffet is 2-2.5 times what you would pay at an outside restaurant. If eating in the hotel for a meal other than breakfast, choose "The Chimney" restaurant for a better meal at a price similar to the buffet.

We were group of boys selected this hotel for location and casino royale. Though we were highly disappointed with cleanliness and service from casino royale but if I talk only about this hotel, it's quite old and thus badly need a renovation. Still at par on providing service, granted early check-in and little late check-out

Hotel staff were very nice albeit slow. Restaurant staff (Chimney) were excellent. Needed to use business center and took two days. However, once I managed to get to use it, the staff was quite accommodating. Power went out regularly. Generator worked well. Packages sent were delivered very timely to my room.
