Dear Guest,

Thank you very much for your positive feedback. I am delighted to learn that you enjoyed your stay with us. It is always important for us to have feedback from our guests. Many of our guest enjoy our peaceful garden with a drink or simply relaxing after a day tour, I am glad you experienced the same. Being located in Bouddha, the great Bouddhanath is just about 7 mins walk from the hotel, one can experience the calm vibe with many local Buddhist taking their ritual walk in the morning and evening and puja's around the Stupa and monasteries.
In regards to shuttle service, We do have Air-port pick up / drop, city sight seeing service in private car on chargeable basis. Our Front Desk staffs are always happy to arrange Taxi's on guest request. All the local Taxi's in Kathmandu are the small Maruti car and most of the taxi's are old, therefore the taxi's ordered might not have been very fresh or new. However, I am pleased to learn that you found our staff to be very professional and friendly.
We look forward to welcoming yo at Shambaling in future!
Warmest regards,
Jigme Phuntsok Chodon / Mrs.
General Manager

I arrived at this hotel on my last night in Nepal...chosen because of close proximity to airport and Stupa. My senses were overwhelmed by the exquisite interior, the peace and calmness and the all pervading scent of lemongrass. The rooms were enormous and the beds very comfortable. The staff were all kind and helpful and the breakfast delicious.

In an interesting but chaotic city Shambaling is a peaceful green island with the most welcoming, polite and accommodating stuff. The breakfast is just a wonderful plus. We wanted to say for just two days and try other hotels...ended up coming back twice and stayed all together almost a week. Cannot thank enough to ALL making our stay in Kathmandu a great experience.

This was my first visit to Khatmandu, so I did not know what to expect. I saw the great ratings for this hotel and decided to book last minute and I was not disappointed. As requested, a man was waiting directly outside the airport exit with a sign upon my arrival. We took scenic journey to our hotel via the very bumpy roads and a while later ended up at the entrance to the hotel which seemed like nothing special from the outside. A little walk down the hill and through the gate and we could finally see the garden area with outdoor seating and it was such a lovely change from the muddy and dusty ride over.

The hotel staff gave a warm welcome upon arrival and brought some much appreciated juice. I was given a cool padlock for the outside of the door and was able to buy some local currency which was great.

The room was spacious, clean, air-conditioned and comfortable and there were some nice welcome snacks.

Having an on-location restaurant with a nice garden was fantastic. I was able to try the mo-mo my friends had told me about as well as a few other recommended local eats and the local beer.

I would go here again in a heartbeat and am very happy that this was my introduction to Nepal.
