We stayed at Hotel Excelsior two different nights in April, at the beginning of our trip and again at the end. It is in Thamel but off a side street, so it isn't crazy noisy. The rooftop is lovely and underutilized but we had drinks up there. We had an early morning flight, so the staff took our breakfast order... More

This is my 6th time visiting Kathmandu but the last time was 25 years ago so I have forgotten what the city was like. A Nepali friend of mine recomended this hotel because of the location and good personality of the owner. I totally agree with these points after staying in this hotel. I was anxious about finding the pick... More

My friend and I spent about 4 days in Kathmandu, all at the Hotel Excelsior.

The staff is absolutely incredible and they will do everything to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. The rooftop garden is a sanctuary in... More

I stayed at Hotel Excelsior for 6 nights in December 2011 and had an excellent visit. It has a great location: the heart of Thamel, but on a side-street with less traffic. There are lots of great restaurants, shops, cafes, and bars nearby. They have two computers for internet usage in the lobby, a restaurant, and a really pleasant rooftop... More

I have stayed at the Excelsior Hotel on my annual trips to Nepal for many years. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. And don't miss the jewelry shop in the foyer - beautiful unique pieces. More

You can find hotels of great quality in Kathmandu, but what really matter is the treatment you receive in this hotel . It is situated in the centre of thamel, the bustling part of kathmandu. The hotel is very clean and the price is very reasonable. If you like shopping or like to go out for dinner, there is no... More

My wife and I travel to Nepal yearly and have stayed at the Excelsior Hotel for many years. It is in the heart of THAMEL but off the main streets so it's handy but not crazy. Great food at the hotel restaurant and wonderful rooftop garden. Rooms are very good; the staff warm and welcoming. The owner and his wife... More

Single female (33 yrs old) stayed at Excelsior in October for 2 nights before trek in Bhutan and 2 nights upon return. I liked the following about the hotel: I found the hotel conveniently located in crazy Thamel: - Located off the main street of Thamel, in a quite alley (yet not a scary one) - Relatively quite at night...
