( These are not dislikes - just suggestions) , for me maybe some ambient music in the common areas like reception and restaurant maybe a good idea as it can be quiet at times. also as per above I would suggest they include food allergens on their menu and train staff on same regarding dietary needs of people. other than that I would have no dislikes even if it is under the flightpath but even I as a light sleeper did not let that bother me at all.

Could not fault this hotel really, staff were amazing and the hotel was run very smooth with minimal disruptions to guests. food was top notch. if i had to have a moan it would be to have more food options available for food intolerances common to western societies like Gluten etc and this too would go for the menu. had a massage after my trek and was not disappointed and it was well worth the money. location is good near the Boudanath Stupa too within 5 mins walk. Beds were super comfortable.

The entire team at Shambaling Hotel contributes to a comfortable and unforgettable stay. This was my second time here and the hotel once again exceeded my expectations. Everything revolves around hospitality of the highest level. The hotel is situated in a nice quiet area and the garden is also a nice place for a great breakfast. Thanks for the excellent stay.

The professional quality of some personnel needs to be improved.

The restaurant staff was very attentive and professional, and an elderly waiter in the lobby was very helpful and friendly. On the first day of our stay, the salesperson who greeted us was not very professional. There is something wrong with the hardware of the room.Even though it was handled properly, it was a awful feeling. But on the second day, the manager of the hotel came to us and found a way to remedy the situation.It's still great and deserves praise.

Absolutely nothing

I've been coming to Kathmandu for 14 years and have stayed in a number of different neighborhoods around the city, however this was my first stay at Boudhanath. From the moment I arrived, the staff was extremely attentive and this became even more evident when I came down with a flu on the evening of my arrival. They bent over backward to provide me with foods I could keep down and even offered to get me medicine. Even more important, my room was exceptional: modern, spacious with separate sitting area, mini bar and fridge, separate desk, huge soft bed with beautiful linens). The wi-fi was excellent. The included breakfast (once I could eat again) was delicious and offered a varied menu. The location was a mere 10-15 minute walk from Boudhanath Stupa. And the price was perhaps a little higher than I normally pay, but affordable. Bottom line, it is the best hotel I've ever stayed at in Kathmandu and I will stay here from now on.

The hotel is somewhat hard to find - tucked away in a small side street off of one of the main roads. A couple of taxi drivers couldn't find it, or needed me to navigate. Is that a negative? Not really. It's also good to know that the hotel is right next to an active monastery whose monks start practicing at around 4 am, so rooms overlooking the hotel garden are best - very quiet.

A friend was staying at Shambaling when I came to visit her, and I was immediately impressed by the hotel. I am a Buddhist, so the hotel's location near several major monasteries - including Sechen monastery - and the Buddha Stupa was a big draw. Additionally, the hotel's amenities - the quality of the rooms, the quality of the restaurant and the variety of the menu, the design and decor - were far better than other hotels I had looked at in the neighborhood, for the same price range. Shambaling is a strong competitor for the Hyatt, in my opinion, at a much better price. When we arrived, the hotel staff turned out to be extremely attentive and competent - quick to anticipate our needs, always inquiring after our welfare, and available at all times of the day and night. When I came down with a stomach virus, the staff really showed what they are capable of: they sent up custom beverages and food, went out to buy me medicines, dealt with cleaning issues, and made sure I was ready to travel. My partner also took advantage of the in-room massage services and received a series of very professional massages that she found transformative. All in all, I can highly recommend Shambaling. We will be back!

Our stay at Shambling Boutique Hotel was both an amazing start for our visit to Nepal as well as a beautiful gift for Christmas. Every little detail was so charming and full of heartwarming hospitality. It started with the smooth and welcoming pick-up from the airport, the warm reception, and continued with the tastefully decorated room, the perfect cleanliness, hot water (in Nepali winter) and the incredibly cosy bed. he food was just another highlight: breakfast set in the serene garden and dinner in the restaurant under the Christmas tree, we enjoyed every delicious bite and sip. But what stood out the most was the skilful and truly caring staff. Whenever even a hint of a wish arose, someone was already there to make it come true. Always gentle, always with a solution right on the spot and always with a bright smile. This is hospitality at it's best.

everything is great.

After coming back sick from the mountains, we were lovingly cared for by all the staff of Shambaling Hotel. You cannot wish for better care than here. Many thanks for all the good care, the attention and the great food. We are very grateful. We come back!

No telly in the bedroom. You had to pay extra if you need a television. No basic amenities. They were charging US Dollars for the hotel accommodation. They charged extra on top of my card as well.

The location was good

The SPA and massage service of the hotel were pushed from the hotel system.But the masagist was not qualified. She could not use enough power when I asked “harder please .stronger please “ for many times. Maybe her English is not good , or just doesn’t want to work hard. The price of the spa doesn’t deserve the quality.

Both of decoration and sense of space are not bad.The staff of the restaurant are ready to help. The selection for breakfast are not much, but the croissant is very good.

the staff were very welcoming and friendly. everything was very clean and comfortable.
