Hotel «Baber Mahal Vilas»

A well looked after heritage property. It is decorated with some amazing expensive art collection and artifects. Property has many restaurants with good food choices. Staff was well groomed, attentive, and looked after us well.

Rooms were sparkling and brand new, quiet. Service was quick and prompt, we ordered room service as welll as from the indian restaurant and were pleased with both!
Great place for those who love antique things with an ancient touch.

We had a lovely week long stay at the Barber Mahal and couldn’t have been happier.

The manager Prabin was extremely attentive and helpful, always happy to stop for a chat or provide information.
The front desk was also extremely helpful and always greeted us with a smile. They were happy to help organise trips for us and book taxis.
The rest of the staff were always polite and courteous and we always felt looked after.

The hotel driver was also very good, we always felt safe in the car and on arrival he would help find guides or buy tickets to various sites.
I can also highly recommend the massage service, much needed after our long flight.

We had breakfast included which was good but slightly limited in options. However there was always a selection of eggs available prepared in a variety of ways.
A real highlight was the fresh Puris which were made to order. They were absolutely delicious!
We tried the rooftop restaurant which was also good, again the freshly made naan were simply stunning. I really enjoyed the tandoori chicken , chicken tikka and paneer.
Simple food, simply delicious.

The rooms were clean and comfortable with AC and the bathrooms had good showers.
Fresh bottled water is provided in the rooms daily.
The pool and gym are on the small side, but there is a sauna which was good.

Location wise, it’s a 10 min taxi to thamel for which we paid around 400-500 rupees which we didn’t barter much. It was around 15 mins to the airport which was around 500-700 rupees

Overall very content with our stay!

A beautifully restored palace outposts/ stables. I stayed here for 3 nights. The experience was magical. Very kind and supportive staff, great choice of meals, an art gallery too. Also lots of quaint little shops having classy stuff

I am surprisingly pleased and glad that my partner booked this villa for our one week stay! I loved the fact it was a little isolated and away from the main roads and attractions. The villa itself is consumed with rich history and culture. The rooms were beautiful, very detailed and it was worth the money!
Moreover, I want to give a MASSIVE THANKS to the staff who made our experience the best and it was beyond our expectations. They were attentive, super friendly and genuinely caring. I would highly recommend this villa and will definitely rebook again. Thank you for your welcoming hospitality!

Absolutely marvel of a hotel , in a vantage location. The design of the property , and the room interiors , are both ultimate in creativity and create an ambience that will transmit you straight away to the Royal Era of Nepal !

Wow. Just wow. Baber Mahal is the peak of relaxation in Kathmandu. We were warmly welcomed by the incredible staff and given a tour of the entire facility, which extends so much beyond simply the hotel. Connected to the hotel are a series of restaurants and boutique shops which we explored for several days and could have continued exploring for several more. Our room felt like a palace bed chamber and the staff treated us like royalty. This is my top lodging recommendation in Kathmandu not only to see all of the local attractions, but also because Baber Mahal is its own attraction which you’ll enjoy spending many days exploring.

Very beautiful hotel, elegant historic architecture. Everything is comfortable and clean, makes you feel like living in a king’s palace! Staff is great as well, very accommodating and polite, excellent English. Not the cheapest place to stay in Kathmandu, but worth the money, would definitely come again.

If while in Kathmandu you're looking for a typical 5 star property, with spa, swimming pool, fitness center, massive lobbies and no soul, then this is not the right hotel for you.

But, if in Kathmandu, you want to get a glimpse of how royalty would have lived, to appreciate the beauty of intricate wooden carvings, four poster beds, ornate furniture, and the sense of privacy and luxury that comes along with it, then this is the place to choose.

And the service levels match the exceptional property itself.
