Hotel Shanker-Palatial Heritage Kathmandu

The Shankar’s staff were polite and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Rooms were large and the bed comfortable. I counted 22 light switches, so a light combination to suit everyone. The shower was roomy and had two shower heads. We had a few power cuts when we were there which lasted minutes, but there were 2 emergency lights in hallway and toilet so not left in the dark. The hotel is undertaking renovations so maybe that’s why. It wasn’t a problem. Buffet dinner is really nice, with the soup being exceptional.

There is a small gym area in the spa section. , It has three machines. However, the air-con doesn’t work, there are no sanitisers for the equipment, no towels or cups for water. It could be upgraded at small cost

I like the building. It's a beautiful small heritage palace with a nice garden. The staffs in the reception were friendly. I was upgraded to a suite because there was a renovation works on another floor which made a lot of noise. The rooms are clean. The beds are comfortable. A small birthday cake presented on my birthday. The breakfast was good with enough variations/styles to choose, with friendly staffs.There is egg station and at least four different juices. The Bar is also okay. Better than I expected regarding the list of the beverages.

The bathroom sink, both in the first room as well as in the suite were brown around the drain hole. I had to tell the cleaning staffs to clean them properly. The breakfast is in a party hall.

The staff and room were lovely. The welcome drink was a nice touch. The heritage feel of the building with modern amenities is excellent. I would have preferred a more robust breakfast spread, but having said that, what was on offer was excellent. For some reason we were given a room that involved a LOT of walking while other rooms were free. BUT, overall, cannot fault the staff and their cooperation and friendliness.

My room was a bit far, and one had to go through the lobby to get to the pool. I would have preferred a more robust breakfast spread, but having said that, what was on offer was excellent.

Breakfast was okey.
