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.

The staff are nice and helpful. The decoration is classy and elegant.

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.

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.

Beautiful property with a touch of elegance in every corner . The check in was seamless ,and we were given a tour of the entire complex with an information of the history of the building . If in Kathmandu will definitely come back .

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.
