Staying at the Vaishali on four separate occasions during our recent trip to Nepal, Tibet, and Bhutan was a wonderful experience. The rooms are adorned with all modern facilities and we enjoyed a complementary sumptuous breakfast during check-in, which was a nice touch. The service is attentive and welcoming, despite encountering some issues with the manager. The location in the Thamel area is fantastic, making it easy to access various attractions and restaurants. The dining experience, particularly the fresh omelette cooked to your liking, was excellent, although some items were slow to be replenished. Overall, a great value for money option with a couple of areas that could be improved.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The rooms were large, comfy, and clean, especially enjoyed the upgrade to a lovely suite. The service was very helpful and friendly, making me feel right at home. The location was fantastic in the heart of Thamel, close to the action but not too far from the airport. The dining experience was acceptable, with a standard Nepal breakfast. However, there was room for improvement in the dining offerings. Overall, a fine hotel with great value for money.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were equipped with modern amenities like a big flat TV screen and fridge, but the air conditioner didn't work well, and the balcony was a nice addition. The service was exceptional with friendly and competent staff who even left extra water in our room. The location in the Thamel area was convenient for exploring Kathmandu and Vaishali but had some inconsistencies in user experience. The dining options were average, with slow replenishment of items, and a poor selection. The facilities were decent but not outstanding.
