Lavie Residence and Spa

I stayed at the Lavee Residence twice during my trek in Nepal. I was trekking the Annapurna circuit but relaxed both before and after at the Lavee, which was recommended to me by my Nepali friend and guide. This turned out to be an excellent place to stay and would highly recommend it to anyone planning on staying in Kathmandu. The driveway to the residence is private and secure and the front reception was polite and ready with room arrangements. He ensured that I received one of the best rooms in the residence with a balcony. The room itself was spacious with a wonderful bathroom and plenty of hot water. The restaurant is top notch and I ate there for breakfast twice, lunch and a dinner and all the food was delicious, fresh and quick to serve. The trout for lunch was perfectly cooked. Sitting outside at night we could enjoy the fire with the movie playing in the background. The seats are wonderfully covered in fur skins and the bar is fully stocked. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else and look forward to my next visit.

I stayed here 6 weeks and would do it again! The staff bend over backwards to be helpful and pleasant. Hats off to manager Kamala! The food is excellent!The rooms are comfortable and provide electric water kettle, hair dryer and modern heating (cooling). The rooms are a bit worn and not so clean everywhere (closet shelves, under beds, table), although bathrooms were very clean. A refrigetstor would have been nice. The street noise is gone by 9 p.m. and I didn't hear anything from other rooms. The rooftop bar wasn't in use, but I imagine it could be noisy in the summertime.

There is no better place to eat and feel the fresh air in boudha than this place because of greenery in the garden. High quality food and good service. It is convenient to park the cars. Simply a nice place to enjoy with friends and family members.

It was nice and cozy to spend time in this hotel. Owner Steven was very friendly and helped us in everything. We are very grateful for that. Delicious breakfasts, pleasant atmosphere, everything is very clean and homely. It was as if we were visiting our friend. Many thanks.

I only stayed for one night but the staff was very friendly. The facility is very clean and cosy and the food was also good. I had done an 8 day trekking tour to my previous stay here and this is exactly what I was looking for. WiFi is a bit weak but this is a general issue and is constantly being improved. The manager will help attend your needs.

This place is very special, it’s more like coming home...the rooms are spotlessly clean, large and airy, the garden is so zen like, the restaurant was exceptional and the owner Steven was pretty amazing, he made our stay first class, he really did go out his way to make us feel part of the family, he even stored our luggage when when went to Pokhara for a few days....oh and there are a couple of hidden gems, namely,Maggie and Lola, would recommend to anyone visiting Katmandu, would be crazy not to stay here, absolutely loved it. If I’m ever back in Katmandu I will not hesitate to stay here, Lesley-Anne Brown, Scotland x
