Beautiful hotel with great staff that were really friendly and helpful. Just keep in mind that the building is quite old in a neoclassical style so the amenities weren't quite up to par compared to hotels in major cities.

The property was beautiful, the staff was amazing! There was a beautiful bar and a happy hour! The bathroom was a bit small and the room seemed a little dated, but it’s an older palace and the history is so cool. We would return again! The area around the hotel is okay, it’s just very hard to cross a street as the traffic is insane-but that’s all of Kathmandu.

I have stayed at the Shanker six different times. I find it to be superior on all levels. Mr Ramesh Raj Shrestha has helped me on many occasions. I find him always to be an excellent manager. He is knowledgeable, kind and very friendly. I wouldn’t stay anywhere but the Shanker Hotel. 11 on a scale of 10 …

This hotel is a little oasis in Kathmandu. With beautiful gardens and a nice pool with bar and food service, it was the perfect home base to explore the area. The hotel is historic and in the process of upgrading, but they have a way to go. The red carpets in the hallways are really worn and dated and really need to go asap. Get a room on an upper floor, those have been renovated. Other than that the food is good and reasonable, I ate all my meals there for four days. Staff is fun and friendly.
