Find hotels in Lazimpat

I've stayed a few times at the Shaker and had a particularly good stay this time. The staff were extremely helpful, arranging an additional half-day stay to fit with a late flight and looking after luggage during a trek. It's the second time I've stayed in a suite and on this occasion it was great (the suites seem to vary in quality somewhat so maybe worth checking the room). As ever, the pool is lovely, one of the best features of the hotel, which is also well situated in the Lazimpat district, which is a bit more peaceful than the bustle of Thamel.

The hotel is located in nice place, not far from crowded area. Transports and everything is near by. Hotel people are also nice to guide you for your trip. I was there for one night with my 9 years old Son, hotel upgraded my room. The only thing that not match with the hotel as called 5 star is its swimming pool. Its quality, services, maintenance, amenities and management people of the pool is too poor as per my requirement. Overall its worth your money for a short visit or business trip.

our family of five recently stayed here and upon check-in the staff told us connecting rooms were not available even though i'd contacted the hotel prior to arrival stating this is what we needed since we had small children. the staff were very accommodating in working with us to find a larger room and moving two cots into it so that we could all be in one room. very professional and helpful. the breakfast was good and we walked to thamel one evening, which although it was a noisy walk we were able to make it in about 10-15 minutes. we took a taxi back to the hotel for ~$2. would definitely stay here again.

Hotel Lion is overpriced for its quality. There are much more affordable and nicer options just up the street. I ended up staying there on my last night in Kathmandu because it was storming out and I needed a place to rest until the storm passed by. The staff was kind but the hotel was disappointing. To make matters worse, the following day the owner of the hotel invited me to lunch. I accepted, as I naively thought he was just being kind and trying to impress a guest and get more business in the future. To my horror, upon returning back from lunch, he proceeded to invite himself to my room! I've never felt so insulted and disrespected. When I requested to leave the hotel, he demanded that I pay an early departure fee. The whole situation was very unprofessional (not to mention, creepy..). I would suggest that solo female travelers not stay here, as the ownder obviously has a predatory eye for foreign women.

our stay was comfortable, the neighborhood was safe. flashlight helps as some areas the street lights are a little apart from each other but still women and children walk safely at night. no problem getting taxi from the driveway. my wife and I would definitely stay here again. the restaurant in the hotel had a large menu which was a delight after a week of the nepalese food in the country, Ayesha the restaurant owner always made us feel at home and is a gourmet cook. Mahendra and his brother are the owners and make everyone so comfortable as they met our every need.

I had an enjoyable time in Sampada garden resort. It is within walking distance from main street (2 mins walk), yet not too close that it is noisy. Perfect. It has a little garden. I honestly didn't like breakfast, I thought it was bland and boring. However, dinner was excellent! Restaurant meals were way better than anything I had elsewhere in Kathmandu. It was really good. I wish I ate there more. Give it a try. I didn't try all the dishes lol, we had a few and they were good. The room was comfortable, basic, yet sufficient. Price was good. A little bit of a walk to Thamel, but that was fine by us. Overall, we like it and would stay here again.

the hotel is quite conveniently located, just behind the gangjong hotel, and its best characteristic is definitely the extremely courteous, friendly and helpful staff. the room was quite big and comfortable, though the a/c didn't work during load shedding in winter. the only negative feature i have to point out is the noisy location - you hear the generators of the gangjong hotel, there are a lot of dogs on the street in front of the hotel which bark also during the night, and there's a small worship house that gets busy early in the morning, often making use of the bell at the entrance. it was fine for someone having to leave early to the office like me, but not ideal for tourists wanting to sleep until after 7 am. nevertheless, i would recommend this hotel, and the noise issue is present in most hotels and guest houses in kathmandu, so that shouldn't be a decisive point.

The mother and daughter proprietors are very thoughtful. The daughter, Iccha, speaks English fluently. She demonstrated special kindness when I was sick by offering honey lemon tea and soup. Breakfast of eggs, sausage, potatoes and toast was very good. Be prepared to go up a lovely wooden spiral staircase to reach 3 of the 4 rooms. The bathrooms are new and work well. Shower was hot after about 5 minutes. There are displays of beautiful traditional Nepali woodcarvings and brass objects in the common area. Wifi worked very well.
