Magnificent Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing experience..Location is great..Thamel’s colorful happening streets are just a few meters away.. Upon landing in Kathmandu city, hotel’s own transfer was there and these 2 days sayings were amazing.. Hotel’s Manager Mr. Ganga was all through a cordial helping hand from the day 1 , we checked in the hotel.. Surely will stay again in this hotel..if our Kathmandu trip repeats again.."

Hyatt Centric Soalteemode Kathmandu

10/10 Excellent

"While there are a few areas of the room that could be improved, what truly made this stay exceptional was the outstanding service from the hotel team. Whenever we encountered an issue, the staff responded promptly, professionally and with genuine care. They went above and beyond to resolve every concern, making us feel valued and well looked after throughout our stay. No hotel is perfect but what sets a great hotel apart is how it handles guests’ feedback and problems. In this regard, the team excelled. Their commitment to customer satisfaction gave me confidence that any areas needing improvement would be addressed and continuously enhanced. Overall, the excellent service more than made up for the minor shortcomings. This was one of the best service experiences I have ever had at a hotel and I would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend it to others."

Hotel Mulberry

10/10 Excellent

"I loved everything about the Hotel! The location, amenities, and food were excellent! The staff were phenomenal! Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I had one of the best massages I have ever had at the spa. The restaurant had great food and the morning buffet had a lot of variety. I would recommend this hotel to anyone. When I come back to Kathmandu I will definitely stay here again."
