Grand Hotel Kathmandu

Peaceful location, great food and courteous staff. There was some disturbance due to renovation of some rooms which we understand was necessary to give good service to the guests in the forthcoming season. Food was good. Special mention of Mr Amit, New Delhi office, Mr Gyan in their Rendezvous, Ms Garima and Ilima who did their best to make feel at home in Kathmandu. On the whole, good place to stay, value for money and service with a smile.

Wow, what a great place to enjoy with friends, Grand hotel is located in heart of City. Casino, heritage place are closed by. Breakfast in restaurant was amazing, varieties of options while you are having breakfast. We got room on 5th floor from where we saw monkey temple & city view. We will definitely visit grand hotel next time when we travel their.

A smooth transfer from the airport to the hotel was provided and we reached in about half an hour. True to its name the entrance was grand and we entered the beautiful lobby. A chandelier in the centre with a nice stone view with a fountain towards the end made the lobby more visually appealing. Comfortable couches were there to relax and the check-in was smooth. I had requested for a nice view and was given a corner room on the sixth floor which had a beautiful view of the mountain range. The room was clean with full carpet and had a big comfortable bed, a sofa, a table, TV, chair, table lamps etc. The washroom was well stocked with basic toiletries, a bathtub, washbasin with 24 hours running hot water. Red and white dominated the furnishing of the room. The breakfast had a good variety and the taste was nice. The menu was different on different days. Omelettes were made live. What I liked was that there was one heavy North Indian dish every day. One day there was poori- sabji, the other days there was idli Sambhar/ Chole Bhature apart from croissant, bread with butter/jam, sausages, veg cutlets/ croquettes, milk with cornflakes etc. The restaurant where the breakfast was served had a nice garden view. From the in-room dining, we tried Chicken Biryani which was ok in taste, served with onions and raita. The hotel also had Free Wifi which had a good connectivity. There a cute pool as well next to the garden on the ground floor and a small temple as well. There was a shop in the hotel premises which sold pearls and pashmina. I bought a pendant from there.

The hotel is located 7 km from Tribhuvan International airport, so you'll get there sooner rather than later. The first thing I noticed at Grand Hotel Kathmandu was the friendliness of its employees, from the driver who greeted us at the airport and the bellboy to the Reception staff and the General Manager. The staff seemed to know us for years, not minutes, and every time I met the hotels' employees during the stay they were all smiles, ready to help. Another thing worth mentioning: the packages awaiting guests. Passionate travelers can opt for 5 packages with experiences lasting between three and eight days with adventures in Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan and Nagarkot. Before dinner in Maharaja restaurant, located on the hotel's top floor, a drink in the adjacent Aromates Bar & Lounge is recommended. To sum up, a hotel I would return to during my future trips to Kathmandu.

We stayed at the Grand Kathmandu twice during a recent tour of Nepal. I noted some mixed reviews prior to our stay but I have to say our experience was really positive. Indeed it proved to be one of the best places we stayed in Nepal. The staff we really obliging and helpful - the Bell Boy was quite outstanding! The rooms were comfortable, clean and well appointed. Good clean bathrooms. The restaurant was perfectly decent though as with most places we stayed in Nepal, the variety of food was limited. As to location, it's not bad. Set back from the main street but with lots of tourist friendly shops in the local road; plenty of bargains to be had if you try! The final word on the Grand - would stay here again.

We stayed 2 nights here, as part of trip a deal package. It’s very basic but comfortable enough Although the linen wasn’t overly clean. Bed was comfortable, pillows were average Bathroom - shower had great hot water Clean enough Staff were really helpful and friendly Wifi was a little slow. Restaurant and food was good Location was ok, not a lot of tourist things around it within walking distance I would recommend for short budget stay. Views from high floor rooms are great to see the city of Nepal Nepal is an amazing city worth visiting and I can not wait to go back and explore more!
