Pros:

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.

Space Calm & a Creative Atmosphere in the city!
Pros:

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.

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!

Pros:

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!
