Everyone was extremely kind and helpful, the room was beautiful and the breakfast included had a ton of variety. The only issue I had was getting someone to pick up my laundry to have it cleaned but it came back promptly the next day smelling great and neatly folded.

Our experience here was wonderful from the moment we stepped onto the hotel property. The staff is very pleasant and helpful.

This was the loveliest hotel! The staff are so kind and attentive. The facilities are in great condition and so convenient. The rooms are beautiful with so much history and personality. The overall building is so beautiful and features really unique architecture. I cannot recommend this hotel enough! Some friends of mine visiting Kathmandu at the same time stayed at other hotels (Soaltee and Aloft) and while both had their merits, our hotel outshined theirs by leaps and bounds. The surrounding shopping area is so cute and convenient and has gorgeous artisan goods like books with nepalese paper, cashmere scarves and pashminas, and more. The nearby restaurants are tasty and affordable, and the hotel breakfast is delicious.
5.0 / 5.0
I understand this is one of the best hotels in the city. It is a reasonably comfortable stay and acceptable as long as you understand that the infrastructure and development in the country on the whole is limited. Do not expect the same level of service amenities and comfort vs other top hotels in other cities that are more developed. They are still learning and I was happy to give the hotel restaurant some feedback to help them get better.

Babarmahal Villas is a true sanctuary in the city. We held our wedding at the revisited premises and the staff members were very friendly and accommodating.

This hotel is amazing! The history and character of the hotel is fascinating. The staff are so welcoming. They welcome you by putting a scarf around your neck and applying a tika to your forehead. I had a massage at the spa which was excellent. My stay was fabulous! No complaints!

It was nice, but the floor in my room was quite dirty. Breakfast has limited options.

The property is made to resemble an old raja palace. But it is a simpler version of the palace. The staff is very helpful and accommodating.

Extremely welcoming staff meeting you with big smiles on arrival. The staff is really determined to make your stay the best 24/7. Be aware that the (young) reception/concierge staff do not always speak a clear English, so you may need to ask more times to get the full understanding of their explanations. The location of the hotel is great - close to main shopping areas, but still in a quiet residential area, with a hospital/pharmacy next door, and an integrated cosy complex with a lot of small handicraft boutiques and not less than four different restaurants that can all keep you busy for days - besides a small pool, library, fitness room and a nice spa. All in all a very good choice if you stay in Kathmandu for more days in a row

Everything is great except way too much tax, I could book another room with that much tax.

They were very gracious and accommodating to make sure my stay was comfortable, fun and pleasant. This is a hidden gem in Kathmandu - undiscovered. I loved my time there and the staff were great.
5.0 / 5.0
A tastefully conceived oasis from the chaos of modern Kathmandu far from the crush of commerce and entertainment aimed at the mass of tourists. Location provides access to restaurants, bars, antiques and boutiques on the doorstep of the hotel set in the quiet, liesurely ambience of the historic Babar Mahal Revisted complex.

Lovely traditional hotel and villas

It was excellent beautiful property
The location was a bit out off the center city
So to get anywhere you need a taxi with a lot off traffic it took a lot off time

Beautiful hotel in historic army barracks. Delightful rooms; incredibly helpful and friendly staff; good breakfasts; perfect courtyard restaurant with good food; lovely shops; and beautiful pool. Close to a park for good early morning runs - or to join an outdoor yoga class.

I am so glad that I chose this hotel for my 2 night stay in Kathmandu after coming back from Everest Base Camp. This property will take you back in time and give you the taste of Nepal. Highly recommended.

The staff were great and welcoming. The facilities were well cared for. The atmosphere was special. Recommend. There will be construction for the next year or so. However, it wasn't really an issue because the early morning and evenings were quiet.

We had a wonderful time at the villas. The shopping and food in the area was fantastic. It is very recognizable by taxi drivers which made transportation easy. There was construction going on during our stay which started prior to 9 AM and continued past 5 PM this was a small inconvenience however the hotel was not very crowded due to Covid and I can definitely understand why they chose this time to do maintenance

It is well prepared place. Compared to staying Hyatt, it is a unique experence better than staying in a 5 star hotel in Kathmandu. Espcially thanks to the receptionist.

I LOVE BABER MAHAL! My favorite place in Kathmandu. Property is clean and with tons of charming character. Manager was super nice and very helpful with getting us around town. They provide free airport pickup. They even let me borrow some rupees before I could get to an ATM. Rooms are adorable with local handcrafted furniture. Lots of restaurants and boutique on the property. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel was a refreshing departure from the standard chain hotels that I normally stay at on the road. Its nice to have such a departure without sacrificing quality or comfort. I will stay here again and I have already recommended it highly to numerous colleagues.

We travel to Nepal extensively and have stayed at a wide range of hotels. Baber Mahal impressed us quite a bit. The beauty and quality of rooms rivals Dwarika's Kathmandu. The Rana style is a nice change from the busy streets of the city.
The shopping and dining within Baber Mahal is wonderful. You can spend your days out in the city and enjoy quiet, restful evenings strolling the property and dine in a different area each night all week. The breakfast included with our room was good and offered continental options as well as a few traditional choices. One note: my husband always orders an omelet and he could not say enough wonderful things. It made his top list of favorite omelets!
There is a lovely open air pub off of the lobby that makes a nice stop for a cocktail or coffee before heading out or back to your room after a long day.
We had the Singha Suite. Plenty of room to spread out, get work done, sip tea on the balcony overlooking the main courtyard, get a good night's sleep on a nice firm mattress, and tip toe out to the pool next to our room for sunrise. The bathrooms are particularly large and clean. Only lacked a hairdryer and I suspect I would have requested one.
Overall, the staff went above and beyond to see that we were comfortable and well cared for. I will be back!
