Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Vajra

Hotel appearance,location away from congestion,friendly staff

The property is a very relaxing refuge for a traveller. The staff were very helpful and accommodating during my stay which is a call-out and a big part of the charm of the place. The rooms were as one would expect from an old world style establishment, a bit generous and functional. The grounds were pleasant place to relax.

The Hotel Vajra was an oasis in the dusty streets of Kathmandu. It was close to everything, the food was good, and the staff were very welcoming. I would stay here again.

A beautiful tranquil place

The hotel is an oasis from the madness of the Kathmandu streets and traffic. It has lovely buildings, beautiful gardens and a calm aura. Highly recommended

This hotel is made for creatives and artists who want a quiet place to stay with spacious rooms, while also being in the heart of the city. Its a beautifully built hotel with some amazing wood carving, and a wonderful spacious feel while walking through the interiors especially the restaurant. The gardens and patio are beautiful with many seating areas. You won’t find flat screen tvs here but you will find a good writing desk and excellent wifi. The bathroom was clean but could do with a little interior design sparkle. The food was excellent, and the owner and all the other staff were very helpful and interesting to converse with.

Ther was no WiFi in the room

i have visited Hotel Vajra since 2013. It is one of the most reliably safe and restful places in Kathmandu and a great location point for wandering and exploration. It is western-friendly but very very local. Amazing rooftop vistas and meditation Pagoda. Highest recommendation!

Architecture is very good

The most peaceful hotel in the Kathmandu valley. Beautiful architecture and grounds. Very friendly staff.

The natural gardens, the polite attentive staff and yoga room!

Hotel Vajras is the most restful and quiet hotel in the area. i have visited Hotel Vajra since 2013 and every time i do, i find the staff is super friendly and helpful, the rooms are clean and modest, and the grounds are impeccable. Though it is a relatively recent construction, the attention to cultural accuracy in the details and styling feels authentic. There is ample space on ground for impromptu meetings, a well-appointed theater space, an amazing roof-top meditation room, and a library of ancient nepali texts. Extremely reasonable rates!

A beautiful place but limited upkeep and it was cold in the room. Staff is wonderful and very responsive in trying to help make stay more comfortable.

It’s a wonder Heritage hotel with a beautiful garden and excellent staff Very reasonable price and a rare find.

I like the traditional but modernized Nepalse building style of the hotel building. The on-site restaurant is very convenient and provides good food at any time. The hotel is outside of Thamel in 10 minutes walking distance, so does Swajambu, the Monkey Temple. Staying there feels like Nepal and a safe and quiet retreat at the same time.

We've stayed there each visit to NEPAL for the paste 5 years. we love the growth and green around surrounding uo,

Beautiful traditional hotel in the best part of town, amazing garden, friendly staff....would come again and again :)

A wonderful old hotel full of personality and charm. The gardens are a delight and the old wood and Tibetan carpets a pleasure to live with.

We love the Tibetan style of the Varja and have stayed there several times. It’s peaceful green setting is an oasis in dusty Kathmandu and the rooftop is lovely for views. The staff are not highly attentive but are relaxed and pleasant. The Varja is an experience.

The hotel is rather quaint and has potential but it is just a bit out of the centre. Some people might not mind and although it is outside of the centre I didn't feel threatened or unsafe walking home at night and I am an elderly female.
