Over the past 10 years, we along with many friends have returned yearly, (sometimes more) to the excellent services of the Excelsior Hotel. From the moment we are picked up at the airport in the hotel's bus until the staff gather at the front to say goodbye we are made to feel special by the friendly, efficient staff and management.... more

I have been staying in Hotel Excelsior for the last many years for my business, photography work and leisure. The hotel is at the heart of Thamel, tucked away behind the Pumpernickel Bakery. I have recommended the hotel to many of my friends over the years and they have appreciated it. The hotel staff are extremely helpful and trustworthy and... more

We like this hotel so much, that we have come back every year. The family who runs it is extremely friendly and helpful with whatever needs the guests have. They have helped us locally in and around Kathmandu for arrangements of trips, trekks and flights to Chitwan, Annapurna and Mustang. Whereever we went the places and people they had recommended... more

A great hotel in the heart of Thamel. All the bars and restaurants are walking distance, and so is the shopping. The hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean, large and comfy. We wanted to book a mountain flight and the staff not only booked the tickets, but also picked us up and dropped us off... more

We stayed at the Hotel Excelsior via a 'recommendation' from another guest house. It wouldn't really be my first choice but rather than trawl the streets looking for something better, we decided to stay. The hotel is located centrally in Thamel which is a bonus, walking distance to all the bars, restaurants and shops. The hotel itself is pretty tired... more

We were told by the Kathmandu Guest House, "we are fully booked out for every types of rooms" and "we will arrange your stay in our annex which is just next to us." We were then picked up at the airport and transported to the Hotel Excelsior. It was actually located down the street from KGH but the staff was... more

Dear Travelers; I too had the opportunity and pleasure of staying at the Hotel Excelsior when I journeyed through Nepal. The rooms were certainly not the Hyatt but very clean, quiet, and comfortable. The linens and towels were changed daily, and I did have hot water anytime I needed to utilize it. The food was delicious.I love to travel but... more

We were obliged to stay at the Excelsior when a confirmed booking at the Kathmandu Guest House was not honoured. It was truly terrible. The reception hall was actually quite reasonable, but the rooms were not. They were dirty and tired, and the bedcoverings, mattresses and pillows were filthy, although the sheets were clean. The bathroom was horrible, with cracked... more
