Top Swayambhunath Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Centric Soalteemode Kathmandu

8/10 Good

"The view from the room was magnificent. There was a weird smell, I think coming from A/C. Nice and well kept hotel. Breakfast and dinner buffet were very mediocre. I has to fight with staff for a two egg omelette. Check in/out easy. Friendly reception."

Hotel Vajra

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was amazing! Extremely helpful and kind. I know it is an older hotel and the use of water is a concern in Nepal. The toilets and sink tend to run a long time. No worries for us but just a concern for water conservation. I would definitely stay here again!"
