Scott and kate
An exceptional heritage property that just oozes charm and uniqueness. Everything about the Baber Mahal was wonderful, the location, the room, and the unique setting with a courtyard full of individual shops and restaurants aside of the hotel’s main dining. The spa offers great (not too inflated) treatments and the pool a lovely addition for a quick cool off. A wonderful sanctuary in the middle of Kathmandu and we will certainly return.
Dewayne Desha
The staff were the high;ignition of this hotel. They bent over backwards to ensure my comfort. For example, when I asked about an upgrade, they quickly upgraded my room to one of their “modern” rooms. Once I moved into this superb room my satisfaction was guaranteed. The included breakfast was small but very adequate with fresh juice, fruits, and many other local as well as western dishes. I really loved the coffee.
Anu Radha
Beautiful historical jem with wonderful food and ambience. Helpful staff.
Susan
If you want an authentic Nepalese place this is the place to stay. My sister and I had the villa which was amazing with our very own balcony and courtyard which no one visited. Breakfast was wonderful, there are quite a few restaurants and the food was superb in all of them. There was a quaint little bar, outside areas with heaters if needed. The Nepalese people are generally the nicest people, always helpful and friendly. Their English was great so that certainly makes it easier. Tick of approval.
David
I am a frequent traveller and I can honestly say this is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff were fantastic, the hotel is beautiful, characterful and spotlessly clean. It’s a bit of a warren which adds to the period feel. I really hope I have the opportunity to return soon and if you are travelling to Kathmandu I have no reservation in recommending this hotel.
Penny
The most charming hotel I have ever experienced.
Siobhan
Lovely heritage room. Friendly staff but restaurant service incredibly slow.
Vasanth
Excellent staff, good breakfast
Laura
The hotel was quiet since it was off season but everyone there was friendly and accommodating. It was a perfect respite from the hectic city.
Michael
Nice boutique hotel outside the hustle and bustle of the central district. Easy to and from airport and private car can be arranged. Very courteous and pleasant staff. Especially high marks for Menuka at the front desk who was extremely helpful and accommodating.
Several food options available within the property itself including a French restaurant and next door great coffee and lunch at Cafe Himalaya
Rooms were wel appointed with balconies. Hotel is filled with many artificers and artwork from the Maharaja era. Very cool. Room rates were also quite reasonable and daily breakfast was included. Also, had drinks at the K2 lounge, which were well crafted.

Every one was very courteous and helpful. The person in charge at breakfast was extremely polite and helpful. Gave us excellent service. This is an heritage hotel, older but full of characters. Highly recommended
Donna Jensen
This property was truly wonderful. We stayed there twice and loved it! The rooms were charming and they fit a lot into this hotel - even a pool and gym. Chez Caroline is attached - amazing French food, and they have a restaurant with authentic Nepalese Thali food and entertainment. They helped us with transportation, and everyone was always friendly and helpful. LOVED it. There are also a few stores attached, including cute gift shops, clothing shops, and a place for mani/pedis. We just loved our stay there and highly recommend it.
Margarita
Beautiful property. Very helpful and friendly staff. Location attached to a lovely shopping square.

Like a small shopping center with good rooms, great service, and three restaurants.
A bit far from main shopping area and attractions.

A rebuild of a family palace, it mirrors the European influences on Nepal. However, it is the staff who are helpful on all occasions that makes a stay truly magical

Jotika
The royalty at its best. This place is so beautiful. The architecture the decoration, the designs, the stories that every area told you. Its a storybook setting for travelers. The room was so beautifully designed, patio had so much seating space. Restaurants had such great tasting food. The folk dance dinner event was mindblowing. We had a great time. Staff was so hepful in arranging our spa tratment and outdoor activities including money exchange. Very friendly and helpful. My stay was for 3 days and there was always some fun event going on. The art gallery to shopping at babar mahal is definitely a must. Lots of beautiful photo moments. I definitely would go again.

Perfect place to stay
Everyone was extremely kind and helpful, the room was beautiful and the breakfast included had a ton of variety. The only issue I had was getting someone to pick up my laundry to have it cleaned but it came back promptly the next day smelling great and neatly folded.

I had a very good stay at Baber Mahal Vilas.
The hotel is safe and is centrally located in Kathmandu. The staff are very kind and helpful.
The facility has very good restaurants.
Getting around is straightforward and taxis are relatively cheap.
I expect I will stay there again when I plan to visit Kathmandu in the spring of 2025.

Beautiful heritage property with lots of interesting quirks and fab decor. Loved that we had several dining options. Local craft markets within the grounds of the hotel was such a bonus. Staff were attentive though on one occasion one or two at reception could have done better. Overall very enjoyable stay and wish we could have experienced it for more than one night. Definitely recommend.

The property has an unique architecture, you feel transported back in time.

All the staff were welcoming and informative, the breakfast was excellent and the staff there were great as well.
It has a sauna and a pool which we utilized. It's a beautiful place tucked away from the traffic and noise of Kathmandu.

The hotel had its charm and it was pleasant being there but it wasn’t close to anything and the area isn’t clean, sidewalks are broken up and the traffic was nerve racking. The staff were very helpful and breakfasts were very good.
Christopher
A charming hotel with charming staff. Lots of dark wood and glass chandeliers, beautifully decorated and very comfortable rooms, all in excellent condition. Part of a complex with restaurants and shops, so plenty of choice. Friendly and helpful staff completes a memorable stay. Convenient location too.

I would book it again
Steven
Well-run hotel, quirky piece of historical architecture, recently refurbished, charming, helpful staff
Erik
The Baber Mahal Vilas is in a quiet neighborhood away from downtown. There isn’t much in the immediate area, but the restaurants in the attached shopping mall are all pretty good. We had massages, which were very good - just be sure to check that you get the time you paid for. We were shorted about 20 minutes, and the hotel management resolved the issue to our satisfaction.

Baber Mahal wonderful experience
Our experience here was wonderful from the moment we stepped onto the hotel property. The staff is very pleasant and helpful.
Sabrina
This was the loveliest hotel! The staff are so kind and attentive. The facilities are in great condition and so convenient. The rooms are beautiful with so much history and personality. The overall building is so beautiful and features really unique architecture. I cannot recommend this hotel enough! Some friends of mine visiting Kathmandu at the same time stayed at other hotels (Soaltee and Aloft) and while both had their merits, our hotel outshined theirs by leaps and bounds. The surrounding shopping area is so cute and convenient and has gorgeous artisan goods like books with nepalese paper, cashmere scarves and pashminas, and more. The nearby restaurants are tasty and affordable, and the hotel breakfast is delicious.
Chia Hwei Celine
I understand this is one of the best hotels in the city. It is a reasonably comfortable stay and acceptable as long as you understand that the infrastructure and development in the country on the whole is limited. Do not expect the same level of service amenities and comfort vs other top hotels in other cities that are more developed. They are still learning and I was happy to give the hotel restaurant some feedback to help them get better.
Ruby

Babarmahal Villas is a true sanctuary in the city. We held our wedding at the revisited premises and the staff members were very friendly and accommodating.
Lana
Fabulous Nepalese hospitality!
This hotel is amazing! The history and character of the hotel is fascinating. The staff are so welcoming. They welcome you by putting a scarf around your neck and applying a tika to your forehead. I had a massage at the spa which was excellent. My stay was fabulous! No complaints!

The Baber Mahal Villa extraordinary experience
Staying at the Baber Mahal hotel was one of the most memorable stays ever. The list of the good things about staying here is endless. From the ambiance, the nicest staff, the food and drinks, the comfort, cleanliness to the history of the place..... everything was remarkable. The location was great too. A very safe and secure Villa with fabulous eateries, a salon, shopping etc.

The property is made to resemble an old raja palace. But it is a simpler version of the palace. The staff is very helpful and accommodating.

Everything is great except way too much tax, I could book another room with that much tax.

A hidden gem in Kathmandu
They were very gracious and accommodating to make sure my stay was comfortable, fun and pleasant. This is a hidden gem in Kathmandu - undiscovered. I loved my time there and the staff were great.
Richard
A tastefully conceived oasis from the chaos of modern Kathmandu far from the crush of commerce and entertainment aimed at the mass of tourists. Location provides access to restaurants, bars, antiques and boutiques on the doorstep of the hotel set in the quiet, liesurely ambience of the historic Babar Mahal Revisted complex.

The staff were great and welcoming. The facilities were well cared for. The atmosphere was special. Recommend. There will be construction for the next year or so. However, it wasn't really an issue because the early morning and evenings were quiet.

Wonderful location
We had a wonderful time at the villas. The shopping and food in the area was fantastic. It is very recognizable by taxi drivers which made transportation easy. There was construction going on during our stay which started prior to 9 AM and continued past 5 PM this was a small inconvenience however the hotel was not very crowded due to Covid and I can definitely understand why they chose this time to do maintenance

I LOVE BABER MAHAL! My favorite place in Kathmandu. Property is clean and with tons of charming character. Manager was super nice and very helpful with getting us around town. They provide free airport pickup. They even let me borrow some rupees before I could get to an ATM. Rooms are adorable with local handcrafted furniture. Lots of restaurants and boutique on the property. I would definitely stay here again.
Barbara
The hotel was a refreshing departure from the standard chain hotels that I normally stay at on the road. It's nice to have such a departure without sacrificing quality or comfort.
I will stay here again and I have already recommended it highly to numerous colleagues.

We travel to Nepal extensively and have stayed at a wide range of hotels. Baber Mahal impressed us quite a bit. The beauty and quality of rooms rivals Dwarika's Kathmandu. The Rana style is a nice change from the busy streets of the city.
The shopping and dining within Baber Mahal is wonderful. You can spend your days out in the city and enjoy quiet, restful evenings strolling the property and dine in a different area each night all week. The breakfast included with our room was good and offered continental options as well as a few traditional choices. One note: my husband always orders an omelet and he could not say enough wonderful things. It made his top list of favorite omelets!
There is a lovely open air pub off of the lobby that makes a nice stop for a cocktail or coffee before heading out or back to your room after a long day.
We had the Singha Suite. Plenty of room to spread out, get work done, sip tea on the balcony overlooking the main courtyard, get a good night's sleep on a nice firm mattress, and tip toe out to the pool next to our room for sunrise. The bathrooms are particularly large and clean. Only lacked a hairdryer and I suspect I would have requested one.
Overall, the staff went above and beyond to see that we were comfortable and well cared for. I will be back!

Great Service in a Beautiful Setting
Service was largely really good at the front desk and the restaurant. Once, I came 5mins before breakfast ended and the server still got the kitchen to provide me with some food.
The room is largely clean and the setting is really lovely. Appliances are new and the bed was rather clean. Loved the rain shower as well.
Only one hiccup was when the aircon failed in the day and I had to endure 2 hours in the unheated room in winter. Fortunately, that was fixed in a few hours.

Great Potential but misses the mark
At first glance the place is very nice and the staff is wonderful. The bed should be more comfortable. The place could be cleaned more thoroughly and rooms given air purifiers for all the dust. The shower at the bottom of the glass also has lots of mold. The food provided by the hotel and it's restaurants is not very good. The Indian was flavorless even compared to what we get in the States, the Nepali food was not as good as other places in Nepal, and the continental was very bad. On my way out I was charged $20 USD for a car that was no better than a local taxi when I had a nice car for that amount on the way in. I would not be so harsh if this place was not listed as a 5-star hotel and charged European and American prices like it was a 5-star. In my humble opinion it should be a 3 or 3.5 star. The history of the place, boutique style, and customer service give this place huge potential if other issues can be addressed.

Charming boutique hotel with attentive staff
Stayed here as needed to attend some meetings nearby, but also brought my family (wife and 2 young children). Fantastic boutique hotel in the centre of Kathmandu. In terms of location, it is close to government and ministry offices and the CBD. It is a short journey by taxi to the more \"touristy\" areas and not far from the airport (all dependent on traffic of course!). The Baber Mahal Revisted complex has a great selection of upmarket shops and good quality restaurants. I would highly recommend Chez Caroline for dinner. The hotel itself affords a fascinating glimpse into the history of a Victorian-era palace and has been restored very well. The rooms are large and spacious and very tastefully furnished. The staff, in particular the manager, Prabin, were incredibly helpful and responsive. I would recommend staying here and look forward to staying again when I'm next in Kathmandu.
Verified traveler
Our stay here was terrific. The building was beautiful and rich with history, and the service was outstanding. On our last day there I was feeling ill and the manager was kind enough to offer me a room to sleep and recover after we had checked out. I highly recommend this place for those looking to visit Kathmandu.

The unique architecture, library of historical books on Nepal and the small garden courtyard were a nice refuge after long hustle-bustle days in Kathmandu. Hotel's restaurant also provided a nice selection of local dishes. Highly enjoyable, boutique intimate feeling and would recommend to anyone.
