Excellent value for money. We stayed at the Yak and Yeti and this place blows that out of the water. The service at the other hotel was terrible. The Shanker knows how to treat guests right. I would stay here anytime. Nice pool area for Kathmandu too! It is a little old and dated but from what I have seen in Kathmandu this is great! I recommend this place for before and after trekking. Great location near Thamel.
The Suite is awesome. All corner rooms are suites so you have to get that. Otherwise it is just a regular hotel room. Nice pool area. Staff is very nice and helpful. Food is good. Quiet area so you do not smell pollution or hear traffic.
A little dated but thats ok for Kathmandu.
- Sightseeing/Attractions Tip : Make sure you get your bearings of hotel to Palace and then where the hotel is to Thamel. It is easy to get lost in Thamel area. Everything looks the same. Also be aware of the Rickshaw driver taking you to the Painting Schools. Just like everywhere they are paid to take you to local painting school shops. The paintings are nice just bargain for them.
