The room was loud as the windows to the outside balcony did not fully close and other guests were there at night.

We enjoyed our stay here, the room was clean however it was a bit loud at night from others guests sitting right outside the windows. The breakfast was incredible- so delicious!! The staff were very helpful and willing to organise any tour we needed.

While our stay at Shangrila Boutique Hotel had its positives, several issues negatively impacted our experience: 1. Hot Water Problems: We faced issues with hot water in the bathroom twice during our stay. As we usually shower at night, both my wife and I had to endure icy cold showers. Unfortunately, the issue was only resolved on the day we checked out, which was too late to benefit us. 2. Missing Amenities: The room description mentioned a heater and a hot kettle, but neither was provided. As a result, we felt quite cold at night, which made our stay less comfortable. 3. Currency Conversion and Payment Issues: Booking.com does not show the amount in Nepalese currency, and the hotel converted the USD amount at a higher-than-market rate, causing us to pay more than anticipated. On top of that, when I opted to pay by card, they added a 5% surcharge, citing it as a bank charge. This was particularly disappointing, as none of the other hotels we stayed at imposed such fees. Afterward, I paid in cash at a higher exchange rate. These issues, particularly the missing amenities and payment policies, detracted from an otherwise decent stay.

Shangrila Boutique Hotel in Thamel, Kathmandu, is truly a great value for money. We were very pleased with what we got during our stay. The staff was really friendly. A special mention goes to the owner, who is incredibly friendly and always ready to lend a helping hand to everyone. This hotel combines excellent service with a welcoming atmosphere.

I didn’t like it that the manager kept trying to sell us travel deals.

Grear location, great staff, great breakfasr, nice rooftop

Stayed in September 2024

Nothing. Everything was perfect!

I and my friend loved the morning breakfasts on the rooftop. We loved the room with comfy beds, and especially all the assistance we got from the front desk. No matter what questions we asked, we got good advice and help. We went on a short trip to Pokhara, and we could store some luggage until we came back. I highly recommend this hotel.

Nice hotel , nice staff and Owner Keshav and awesome breakfast.

Stayed in June 2024

Lower bunk bed put on a curtain as picture shown in website would be nice.

Lovely roof top area to relax and enjoy full breakfast including juice, fruits with different menu everyday served with a smile. Comfortable bed, shared bathroom with hot shower, free drinking water refill is a bonus. Hotel room is being under renovation work so would be a bit paint smell and dusty. Dorm room side along in an alley with motorbike parking would be noisy at night when engine starts.

I don't usually watch tv in hotels, but I was sick and stayed in the room a lot. The TV cable was cut. No entertainment. There were many blankets in bed and they were quite dusty.

No heating. Typical for budget hostels. We were there in Jan. Had to wear a bulk of clothes to stay warm. Shower wasn't always hot. Had to tell the front desk, but they worked the problem each time. It's basic. Note, it is not even close to as comfortable as the photos show it. Still, at that price range accommodations, I would recommend it!

Wonderful rooftop patios. Great for breakfast socializing or hanging out above the streets of Kathmandu. Can walk to Katmandu Durbar Square once you get the routing out using an app like Mapquest or Google maps. Thamel shopping close by and there are many tasty restaurants. The staff was diligent. It felt save. Only one way in past the front desk in a narrow passage. There was always someone there.

Beds quite hard but i believe this is the same around Nepal so preference only. Quite noisy all night with the mopeds

Fantastic atmosphere, staff amazing and helped us to book the mount Everest flight. Breakfast was different and so good each morning with delicious coffee

Stayed in November 2022

The beds can be a little bit too hard for some people.

I had an absolute great stay at Shangrila-la. The stuff is super friendly and will always help you with anything. The manager of the hotel can help you with plans or trips around Nepal so you will get amazing expierences. Sometimes it can get a little bit noisy in the night, but the Hotel is placed in a quiet street just next to Thamel. So it could be worse. Overall I had a great time and will gladly come back :)
