A Truly Exceptional Stay at Hilton Kathmandu From the moment we arrived at Hilton Kathmandu, we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. The hotel staff across every department — reception, restaurants, bar, pool, and housekeeping — exceeded all expectations in hospitality. Their warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made our stay unforgettable. A special mention goes to the hotel drivers, who were outstanding. In particular, the lady driver who picked us up from the airport deserves a big compliment for her welcoming spirit and kindness. We were also fortunate to meet Ankit Sharma, the Commercial Director, who made a tremendous impact on our experience. His personal attention to guests is truly special. He even arranged for a delicious Nepali meal tailored for my kids, helping them explore the local cuisine in a fun and memorable way — a gesture we deeply appreciated. What touched us even more was Hilton’s commitment to inclusivity. It was inspiring to see the hotel fostering opportunities for staff with limitations such as hearing or speech impairments, creating a workplace that is both diverse and empowering. The hotel itself is brand new, with all facilities featuring the latest technology and elegant design. The spa truly felt like heaven on earth — a serene, luxurious escape. And the rooftop pool, with its breathtaking views over the city, the mountains, and unforgettable sunsets, was simply magical. Hilton Kathmandu is a perfect blend of heartfelt hospitality, modern luxury, and inspiring values. We can’t wait to return!

This enchanting hotel became my haven during my month-long escapade in Nepal, marking my third delightful stay. Returning to this exquisite establishment after each adventure felt like coming home, and it's a testament to the unparalleled hospitality that defines Baber Mahal Vilas From the moment I arrived, the hotel manager extended warmth and generosity that exceeded all expectations. The constant surprises of room upgrades and thoughtful gifts created an atmosphere where I truly felt special and embraced. The genuine care for my comfort and well-being was evident in every interaction. The staff's kindness extended beyond gestures, as they proved to be an invaluable resource for my explorations. Their unwavering assistance in booking events, hiring cars, and arranging tour guides streamlined my entire experience. The level of attentiveness displayed by the hotel team was nothing short of extraordinary. As my time in Nepal drew to a close, the hotel team orchestrated a grand finale – a breathtaking mountain flight over the Himalayas. Witnessing the majestic Mt Everest was the perfect crescendo to my journey, and it was made possible by the hotel's thoughtful planning. This unexpected and unforgettable gesture encapsulated the essence of their commitment to creating seamless and beautiful memories for their guests. In summary, Baber Mahal Vilas is not just a place to stay; it's a retreat where you're treated like royalty. The combination of exquisite service, genuine kindness, and a commitment to making every moment extraordinary sets this hotel apart. Without a doubt, I will return to relish in the regal experience offered by Baber Mahal Vilas and I wholeheartedly recommend it to fellow travellers seeking a touch of luxury in the heart of Nepal.
