The friendly and helpful staff, the clean rooms, the roof top restaurant. We liked how quiet our room was and how quick staff was to help us with anything we needed. We liked the wide selection at breakfast.

The AC unit was blowing right over our head (over the bed) it was quite uncomfortable even on low setting. We got the facility for the pool but the water was so cold, we did not get to use it. The hotel advertise a fitness room but it's not actually in the hotel and was closed during our stay.

Hotel Shambala was one of the highlights of our visit to Kathmandu. The hotel was well situated with easy access to the city centre, and has good sized rooms, a wonderful rooftop restaurant, bar and pool, and top class international and local cuisine. Above all, Shambala made us feel immediately at home with its dedicated and friendly staff. Notably Rusha, Swastika and Prem at the front reception we’re especially professional, courteous and helpful. I would thoroughly recommend Hotel Shambala to anyone visiting Kathmandu.
