Ξενοδοχεία με 5-Star σε Bagmati, Nepal

"Beautiful place because of architecture and design - but for the price you expect more than Nescafé 3 in 1 in your room! Just a bit hit and miss on service for what they’re trying to be."

"The whole hotel system seems to be created with foreigners in mind. I stayed for 2 nights, while my family stayed for 3 nights. I originally booked the 2 nights through Trip.com. When I wanted to add an extra day, I was informed it was better to book it again online. At that time, I was in Nepal for 3 days and my phone was being repaired in Hong Kong, so I didn’t have access to my usual email or digital wallet. I had Nepali cash, but the payment system wouldn’t allow it, and I was denied the option to add more nights directly at the front desk. I tried booking again using my temporary phone, but the credit/card wouldn’t allow it—possibly because the phone and location were new and my digital wallet couldn’t be used. The only solution was asking a friend to book the additional night for me. This experience made me feel that the system is not friendly to Nepali guests and that they may strongly prefer online foreign-currency-style payment methods rather than Nepali rupees. I also tried to get the Nepali rate. It was around NPR 12,000–15,000, while the online rate was significantly cheaper. Based on the current currency conversion, the price difference felt like it could be about 3,000–5,000 rupees less online. This also made me feel they may not truly support Nepali pricing equally. The front desk staff were sometimes helpful, but they often didn’t seem genuine. Some staff seemed reluctant and not truly welcoming or happy to assist. In contrast, the only people who felt consistently happy to see me amd my family were the housekeeping staff and the guards. About the room it’s a bit small. I took a long warm shower, and after a while the water started leaking toward the bedroom corridor. However, there were also positives—despite being in Kathmandu, the tap had good water flow and the water color looked clear, not yellowish (and not as low-flow). Overall, the stay didn’t feel welcoming to me or my family. I’m not sure if this is because the system is designed not to cater well to Nepali guests, or simply because the staff attitude was “blah.” Would I stay again? It feels like 50–50. My honest advice is: if you’re not Nepali, you will love it. But if you are Nepali and want to feel genuinely welcomed, you should think carefully—because you could spend the same amount or much more less at a family-owned business and likely feel much more respected and welcomed."

"★★★★★ I recently stayed at Hotel Barahi Kathmandu for 2 nights and 3 days during my trip to Nepal. To start with the conclusion, this is a hotel I would gladly stay at again. When I evaluate a hotel, I don't judge it solely on luxury or facilities. What matters most to me is how the people working at the hotel interact with their guests. Hotel Barahi Kathmandu was a very impressive hotel in that regard. From check-in to check-out, every staff member – at the front desk, in the restaurant, and from housekeeping – greeted me with natural smiles. It didn't feel like formal customer service because I was a 'guest,' but rather as if they were treating me as an individual. The hotel's location is also excellent. While it's within walking distance to the Thamel area, upon returning to the hotel, you find a calm space where you can forget the hustle and bustle of the city. It's a very convenient hotel for both sightseeing and staying. I also enjoyed breakfast every day. Beyond the variety of dishes, Nepali cuisine was also offered, which was great for a traveler like me to easily enjoy local flavors. On the other hand, there was noise in my room at night, and there was one day when I couldn't get enough rest. This was disappointing. However, what impressed me even more was the hotel staff's response afterward. They listened carefully to my concerns and addressed each issue without downplaying it. Their attitude conveyed a strong desire to 'improve the guest's stay.' During my travels, I pay close attention not only to the hotel's facilities but also to the people working there. No matter how grand the building, if the people aren't good, I wouldn't want to stay at that hotel again. Hotel Barahi Kathmandu was a hotel where I felt human warmth. Of course, there are always areas for improvement. But this hotel has an attitude of being willing to address those areas. That was of great value to me. That's why if I have the opportunity to visit Nepal again, I would choose this hotel once more. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to all the front desk staff, restaurant staff, and housekeeping who kindly assisted me during my stay. Thanks to all of you, this hotel became more than just an accommodation; it became a part of my wonderful memories of Nepal. Thank you very much."

"The rooms are spacious, and the bathrooms are quite large too. Breakfast is mainly Western and Indian, and the taste is decent. The hotel's location is excellent, right in the city center, with many tourist attractions within 3km. The ground floor environment is also very good, with a large lawn and a big swimming pool (though I didn't see anyone swimming). The lawn area is lovely. Soundproofing is average, but everything else is good."

"If there are 6 stars or 7 stars, I will definitely choose it. It's a pity that there are only 5 stars! The moment I got off the car, all the fatigue of the journey disappeared instantly. The design of the hotel is so beautiful! It is located in the forest, surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland, and every shot is a blockbuster. The four of us booked a three-story villa, which is very large and high-end. The housekeeper is very considerate and delicate, and the staff is warm and thoughtful, with a smile on their faces. The encounter with guru ji Hswami Satya Shree was the luckiest thing for our trip. A person who exudes the light of God all over his body led us to hike at 5:00 in the morning and saw the light of sunrise. After the hike, he led us to traditional Nepalese yoga until 9:10 in the morning. Yoga meditation in the quiet forest made us feel calm and happy. After that, guru ji talked with us for a whole afternoon. We got very rich information from him. He is a loving and generous elder. This is definitely the best gift in 2024. We will come again."

"We had a lovely stay here & were welcomed with complimentary drinks on arrival. Check-in was smooth, and the staff were friendly and genuinely helpful. The spacious, clean rooms had comfortable beds, a full-size window with beautiful views, reading lights, lamps, and a TV with Netflix and YouTube. Breakfast and dinner are served at the ground-floor restaurant, which also has a bakery. The rooftop restaurant and bar has a small 3ft pool and stunning mountain views. The breakfast buffet was delicious with plenty of choices, while dinner had fewer options. They even surprised my sister with a cake slice for her birthday, which was a lovely touch. One thing to note: the Z Street entrance is through an alley, so taxis cannot reach the hotel directly. Overall, a solid 9/10."

"I had a wonderful stay in this beautiful, historic building. Staff was attentive and kind. Adjacent to the hotel are nice restaurants (Nepalese, Indian and very fine French). I've made use of the small but practical gym, thereafter the sauna and finishing and cooling off in the outside pool.  Only 10-15m away from the airport (outside rush hours).  I'll certainly come again."

"Very close to the airport, a 6-minute drive. The hotel is very clean, and the service is really excellent; the front desk staff are very enthusiastic. After staying for one night, I booked three more nights. It's actually quite close to the tourist attractions, and taxis are cheap."

"A beautiful Thai mountain hotel Good weather, can see the Himalayas, the whole mountain range, very cool weather SPA is very standard, there are Nepalese masseuses who can massage hard Disadvantages Long distance and the road is not very good, from Kathmandu 1.2 hours Must hire a TAXI or Private Car Himalaya is shy, not seen every day and all day, have to take a chance Food focuses more on Nepalese than international, but it's good to get a variety"

"The hotel room is very special, the lawn is very beautiful, the breakfast is very rich, both Chinese and Western food, and Nepalese characteristics. The cleaning was timely. The staff is very welcoming. The room is large and the environment is very good"
