Hotel Manaslu

A wonderful base if you are in Kathmandu. Clean and spacious rooms and a great breakfast. We stayed here 3 times in between a trek and a trip to Bardia and luggage was stored with ease and laundry done for our return. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Great quiet location in Lazimpat with plenty of good food options close by. Only 15 mins to Thamel. Would stay here again.

Amazing architecture and intricately carved ceilings and window frames, with good food and great beds. Only thing missing was a hot shower. The pool and conference facilities were first rate, and the staff were lovely. I’m looking forward to staying here again.

Hotel Manaslu, located in the heart of Kathmandu, offers a charming blend of traditional Nepali architecture and modern amenities. Its historical appeal, dating back to the 1970s, is reflected in the elegant wood carvings and traditional decor throughout the hotel, giving visitors a taste of Nepal’s rich cultural heritage. The rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, offering the essentials for a pleasant stay, though some may find the interiors slightly dated. The hotel features a beautiful garden and a swimming pool, providing a peaceful oasis away from the city's hustle and bustle. The staff are friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with any requests or inquiries. The on-site restaurant serves a variety of local and international dishes, though the menu can feel limited at times. Breakfast is generally well-received with a decent selection. The hotel’s location is convenient for exploring Kathmandu, situated near the tourist hub of Thamel and several cultural landmarks. However, traffic noise can occasionally be an issue, given its proximity to main roads. Overall, Hotel Manaslu is a good option for travelers seeking a traditional Nepali ambiance, warm hospitality, and a central location at a reasonable price.

A difficult one to review. For a place that brands itself as a luxury boutique hotel it isn’t exactly that by international standards. The building is wonderful in its traditional style and the stupas and references to Nepali architectural history and belief systems. The staff at reception are great. But the hotel interior is very tired and in need of attention. Walls are marked, fittings are old, furnishing covers and cushions are marked, curtains need a clean, towels and bedding (including pillows) need a proper cleaning or new stocks should be bought in. In room items like soap and shampoo are very basic and again not in keeping with the ‘luxury’ tag. A general revitalization is needed if the ‘luxury boutique’ brand is to be retained. Without the reference to luxury it would be an acceptable local mid range Kathmandu hotel. It’s just that expectations are not met based on the branding.

The hotel gives a very vintage vibe and have a beautiful ambience . It’s located centrally and just a walk away from a busy market . Breakfast buffet was also diverse but over all service is bit slow . The garden is also very well maintained with a nice restaurant.

Had a very bad experience, room is old Nepalese style with floors being made of stone so you feel cold most of the time. the hotel is full of marriage functions so your sleep is going to be spoiled. above all you dont get Hot water in your room its luke warm water which they say is the best hot water they can serve. Even the guards or bell boy keep looking for the tips. so its not my kind of Hotel to stay
