Guest Reviews
- Laura (10/5): - The hotel was quiet since it was off season but everyone there was friendly and accommodating. It was a perfect respite from the hectic city.
- Michael (10/5): - Nice boutique hotel outside the hustle and bustle of the central district. Easy to and from airport and private car can be arranged. Very courteous and pleasant staff. Especially high marks for Menuka at the front desk who was extremely helpful and accommodating. Several food options available within the property itself including a French restaurant and next door great coffee and lunch at Cafe Himalaya Rooms were wel appointed with balconies. Hotel is filled with many artificers and artwork from the Maharaja era. Very cool. Room rates were also quite reasonable and daily breakfast was included. Also, had drinks at the K2 lounge, which were well crafted.
- Michelle (8/5): - Every one was very courteous and helpful. The person in charge at breakfast was extremely polite and helpful. Gave us excellent service. This is an heritage hotel, older but full of characters. Highly recommended
- Donna Jensen (10/5): - This property was truly wonderful. We stayed there twice and loved it! The rooms were charming and they fit a lot into this hotel - even a pool and gym. Chez Caroline is attached - amazing French food, and they have a restaurant with authentic Nepalese Thali food and entertainment. They helped us with transportation, and everyone was always friendly and helpful. LOVED it. There are also a few stores attached, including cute gift shops, clothing shops, and a place for mani/pedis. We just loved our stay there and highly recommend it.
- Margarita (10/5): - Beautiful property. Very helpful and friendly staff. Location attached to a lovely shopping square.
- Adam (10/5): - Like a small shopping center with good rooms, great service, and three restaurants. A bit far from main shopping area and attractions.
- Stephan (10/5): - A rebuild of a family palace, it mirrors the European influences on Nepal. However, it is the staff who are helpful on all occasions that makes a stay truly magical
- Rudra (10/5): - Nice place
- Mark (10/5): - This is one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever stayed in. It's a stunning collection of architecture from different periods in the history of Nepal. The staff were so helpful and friendly throughout, and the restaurants were excellent
- Harold (10/5): - Staff was so friendly! They took excellent care of us. Food was delicious!
- Roshana (6/5): - Did not live up to expectations
- Kimberly (10/5): Beautiful hotel - The hotel is beautiful located in a quieter neighborhood in Katmandu.Anish at the front desk and every employee at the hotel went above and beyond! The restaurant was delicious and the waiters were very accommodating! We enjoyed a wonderful massage at the spa! We definitely recommend this hotel!
- Kristian (10/5): Can highly recommend, amazing place and staff - We had a lovely stay and week at Baber Mahal! It was our sanctuary in the middle of Kathmandu which is a very high pace city. Staff was lovely and the restaurants on sight were outstanding too Can highly recommend
- Kimberlyn (10/5): - Staff were so welcoming and helpful. We enjoyed our experience there immensely!! Would highly recommend the Baber Mahal Vilas to anyone visiting Nepal. Top notch service, great restaurants and shops, and a very beautiful property!!
- Jotika (10/5): - The royalty at its best. This place is so beautiful. The architecture the decoration, the designs, the stories that every area told you. Its a storybook setting for travelers. The room was so beautifully designed, patio had so much seating space. Restaurants had such great tasting food. The folk dance dinner event was mindblowing. We had a great time. Staff was so hepful in arranging our spa tratment and outdoor activities including money exchange. Very friendly and helpful. My stay was for 3 days and there was always some fun event going on. The art gallery to shopping at babar mahal is definitely a must. Lots of beautiful photo moments. I definitely would go again.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect place to stay - 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.
- Deo (10/5): - I had a very good stay at Baber Mahal Vilas. The hotel is safe and is centrally located in Kathmandu. The staff are very kind and helpful. The facility has very good restaurants. Getting around is straightforward and taxis are relatively cheap. I expect I will stay there again when I plan to visit Kathmandu in the spring of 2025.
- Mazvita (8/5): - Beautiful heritage property with lots of interesting quirks and fab decor. Loved that we had several dining options. Local craft markets within the grounds of the hotel was such a bonus. Staff were attentive though on one occasion one or two at reception could have done better. Overall very enjoyable stay and wish we could have experienced it for more than one night. Definitely recommend.
- Antonela (10/5): - The property has an unique architecture, you feel transported back in time. The staff was polite and kind, sharing with interest about their culture and traditions. What a lovely experience!
- Jeffrey (10/5): Wonderful hotel in the heart of Kathmandu! - This hotel was amazing! The architecture was beautiful, the service was excellent and our large room was magnificent! We would stay here again if we were ever to travel to Kathmandu again.
- Patricia E (10/5): - All the staff were welcoming and informative, the breakfast was excellent and the staff there were great as well. It has a sauna and a pool which we utilized. It's a beautiful place tucked away from the traffic and noise of Kathmandu.
- Ricardo (10/5): - Excellent option
- Michelle (8/5): - The hotel had its charm and it was pleasant being there but it wasn’t close to anything and the area isn’t clean, sidewalks are broken up and the traffic was nerve racking. The staff were very helpful and breakfasts were very good.
- Christopher (10/5): - A charming hotel with charming staff. Lots of dark wood and glass chandeliers, beautifully decorated and very comfortable rooms, all in excellent condition. Part of a complex with restaurants and shops, so plenty of choice. Friendly and helpful staff completes a memorable stay. Convenient location too.
- Peter (10/5): - I would book it again
- Steven (10/5): - Well-run hotel, quirky piece of historical architecture, recently refurbished, charming, helpful staff
- Erik (8/5): - The Baber Mahal Vilas is in a quiet neighborhood away from downtown. There isn’t much in the immediate area, but the restaurants in the attached shopping mall are all pretty good. We had massages, which were very good - just be sure to check that you get the time you paid for. We were shorted about 20 minutes, and the hotel management resolved the issue to our satisfaction.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Baber Mahal wonderful experience - Our experience here was wonderful from the moment we stepped onto the hotel property. The staff is very pleasant and helpful.
- Sabrina (10/5): - 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.
- Chia Hwei Celine (10/5): - 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.
- Ruby (10/5): Highly recommend - 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.
- Lana (10/5): Fabulous Nepalese hospitality! - 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!
- Nabeel (10/5): - Excellent staff.
- Zhenyi (10/5): - It was nice, but the floor in my room was quite dirty. Breakfast has limited options.
- Mary (10/5): The Baber Mahal Villa extraordinary experience - Staying at the Baber Mahal hotel was one of the most memorable stays ever. The list of the good things about staying here is endless. From the ambiance, the nicest staff, the food and drinks, the comfort, cleanliness to the history of the place..... everything was remarkable. The location was great too. A very safe and secure Villa with fabulous eateries, a salon, shopping etc.

- Faisal (8/5): - 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.
- Ganesh (10/5): - Everything is great except way too much tax, I could book another room with that much tax.
- David (10/5): A hidden gem in Kathmandu - 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.
- Richard (10/5): - 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.
- barry (10/5): - Lovely traditional hotel and villas
- Nachman (10/5): - 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
- Geetika (10/5): Outstanding - 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 .
- Nita (8/5): - our room was amazing, but had an odd smell, not sure if it was some kind of smoke or incense. otherwise it was all fabulous!
- Pamela (10/5): - 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.
- Robin (10/5): - Excellent hotel with a wonderful and welcoming staff! We highly recommend a stay here.
- David (10/5): - Staff were very attentive and helpful. Aside from the ongoing renovations to the property my stay at the Baber Mahal Villas was enjoyable.
- Leila (10/5): - 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.
- RITA (10/5): - The place was the property of a ministry so it’s with some kind luxury all the details of the fountain with the fishes at the entrance near the breakfast àrea the library and the connection to the 4 restaurantes and stores that are just inside the property is amazing it’s a beautiful Hotel we will stay there for sure again : the area where it is is the governmental Offices area so it’s secure Too.
- MATTHEW (10/5): Special atmosphere, great experience. - 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.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Wonderful location - 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
- Stefan (10/5): - Had an amazing stay at the Vilas! Staff were upbeat and provided amazing service. Hotel design had unique character. Would definitely stay there again!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent property. Staff iwas amazingly courteous and helpful. Mr. Praveen was very friendly and guided us on places to see. Th
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful hotel and extremely nice staff. Wish we had we had more time to stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 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.
- Barbara (10/5): - The hotel was a refreshing departure from the standard chain hotels that I normally stay at on the road. It's 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.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 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!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful place and very relaxing. Pleasant pool, sauna and steam room. Quiet location.
- Aden (10/5): Happy trip - We had a wonderful stay at baber mahal, the staff were kind and helpful and the general atmosphere was peaceful. Would definitely stay again
- Jennifer (10/5): - Fantastic staff, beautiful hotel
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great service and a very good room. So glad I found this hotel. The spa could use employees that have professional training in massage therapy though. The price is high for non certified people giving massages with some questionable techniques.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice property grounds with a good selection of restaurants and shops. Very cute, calm and cozy oasis in the midst of Kathmandu.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Building Full of character, management and staff just excellent.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great Service in a Beautiful Setting - Service was largely really good at the front desk and the restaurant. Once, I came 5mins before breakfast ended and the server still got the kitchen to provide me with some food. The room is largely clean and the setting is really lovely. Appliances are new and the bed was rather clean. Loved the rain shower as well. Only one hiccup was when the aircon failed in the day and I had to endure 2 hours in the unheated room in winter. Fortunately, that was fixed in a few hours.
- David (6/5): Great Potential but misses the mark - At first glance the place is very nice and the staff is wonderful. The bed should be more comfortable. The place could be cleaned more thoroughly and rooms given air purifiers for all the dust. The shower at the bottom of the glass also has lots of mold. The food provided by the hotel and it's restaurants is not very good. The Indian was flavorless even compared to what we get in the States, the Nepali food was not as good as other places in Nepal, and the continental was very bad. On my way out I was charged $20 USD for a car that was no better than a local taxi when I had a nice car for that amount on the way in. I would not be so harsh if this place was not listed as a 5-star hotel and charged European and American prices like it was a 5-star. In my humble opinion it should be a 3 or 3.5 star. The history of the place, boutique style, and customer service give this place huge potential if other issues can be addressed.
- Jeremy (10/5): Charming boutique hotel with attentive staff - Stayed here as needed to attend some meetings nearby, but also brought my family (wife and 2 young children). Fantastic boutique hotel in the centre of Kathmandu. In terms of location, it is close to government and ministry offices and the CBD. It is a short journey by taxi to the more "touristy" areas and not far from the airport (all dependent on traffic of course!). The Baber Mahal Revisted complex has a great selection of upmarket shops and good quality restaurants. I would highly recommend Chez Caroline for dinner. The hotel itself affords a fascinating glimpse into the history of a Victorian-era palace and has been restored very well. The rooms are large and spacious and very tastefully furnished. The staff, in particular the manager, Prabin, were incredibly helpful and responsive. I would recommend staying here and look forward to staying again when I'm next in Kathmandu.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The unique architecture, library of historical books on Nepal and the small garden courtyard were a nice refuge after long hustle-bustle days in Kathmandu. Hotel's restaurant also provided a nice selection of local dishes. Highly enjoyable, boutique intimate feeling and would recommend to anyone.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Our stay here was terrific. The building was beautiful and rich with history, and the service was outstanding. On our last day there I was feeling ill and the manager was kind enough to offer me a room to sleep and recover after we had checked out. I highly recommend this place for those looking to visit Kathmandu.
- Abhishek (10/5): Great service, great room - The hotel was clean and comfortable. Staff was very accommodating, we were leaving early in the morning prior to breakfast being ready and they accommodated us cooking us an omelet each prior to our departure while also assuring with booking our bus ticket and cab. The toiletries were good. The only complaint I could have from what I experienced was that the shower did not get very hot and also it is a rain head shower (I personally do not prefer). Best room we had in Kathmandu
- Julie (10/5): Just book it! - This place is amazing in so many ways: architecture (doors, history, gardens, everything), service, rooftop pool, in city yet secluded, the library, the spa, the workout facility, the connecting shops and eating spots... you may not want to leave!
- Sarah (10/5): - The staff are exceptionally caring and attentive to our needs. They noticed on our arrival day that was my friend’s birthday. They treated us to a private presentation of dance, prepared birthday cake and dinner for us. This is a huge surprise. The environment is so cozy and relaxing. I love the massage service there too.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - A welcome peaceful retreat in an otherwise intense city.
- Thomas (10/5): - Great boutique hotel set in a former palace. It’s attsched to an area full of nice shops and restaurants. It had everything I was looking for in a short stay in Kathmandu, and the food in the main restaurant was great!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Truely Beautiful Rana Palace/Perfect City Escape - What a beautiful place with heritage background. Definitely will return. Worth every dollar paid. Amazing staffs with can do attitude with such positive energy and warm hospitality. This hotel has everything in smaller scale but better than a huge 5 star hotel. Enjoyed personalised services throughout. Just watch out for minimal outside noises but hotel is very accommodating to solve any problems quickly. Hotel is adjusted to a high end shopping complex and nice restaurants. It was great location. Just 10 minutes from the airport and 10 minutes to main shopping district and downtown. It was very relaxing and enjoyable. Highly recommend this place to any traveller. Their rooms are very spacious and beautifully restored to give maximum interior of traditional design. Loved their themed rooms with all natural materials. This is more than 5 star property. The best heritage building hotel in Kathmandu! Roof top infinity Swimming pool, steam room and sauna along with a gym and the mini spa facility is really a big plus in this small boutique hotel. Enjoyed 2 nights dinner inside same complex
- Eng (10/5): - Great ambience in original architecture building with modern facilities. Friendly staff and great breakfast.
- sumathi (10/5): super experience - The staff was very accommodating. As my mother-in-law could not climb stairs, the room was changed to downstairs and all staff was really very nice. Sebina in the front office has a beautiful smile that my group was looking forward to see every day. Good food in the restaurant down the road....nice ambience. overall will come back again...
- Paul (10/5): One of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. - I stayed here for two nights while at a stopover in Kathmandu. Wow this is one of the best hotels I have been in. Not your usual cookie cutter hotel. The Hotel itself is like what you would imaging a colonial era villa to be. The room was fantastic with a great private patio off the bedroom and period detail. The pictures do not show how special this place really is.
- Dirk (10/5): - excellent hotel, great rooms and wonderful staff - very good restaurants and shops in the complex itself
- Stephen (10/5): Beautiful hotel in Kathmandu - Baber Mahal was an amazing historic hotel. Stayed in the Traditional Suite which was a good size. There is a small balcony adjoining the bedroom, but best part is it is on the top floor and has an public outside area Next to the room and the pool is 20 meters away. No regrets staying here and would definitely go back if in Kathmandu. Thamel is about 10-15mins away by car or 30 mins walk.
