Hotel Yak & Yeti

Hotel Yak and Yeti is a lovely place to stay that works very hard to meet your every need. The service is impeccable, the facilities clean and the atmosphere very warm. We will most definitely return on our next trip to Nepal.

The accommodations were outstanding as was the service. I will definitely return to the Yak and Yeti upon my next trip to Kathmandu.

Very nice property located in a quiet space in noisy Kathmandu. Highly recommended.

My. stay was very pleasant. The front desk personnel were very courteous and friendly. Both check-in and check-out were pretty smooth and quick. It is a magnificent property. The regal architecture is simply amazing. Room cleanliness was very good and the restaurants were excellent too.

Elevator has some problems and the power goes out briefly at times which can be scary if in the elevator at that time. The lounge is ok. It is only open from 5:30 - 8:30 or so.

This hotel has a great name, but the reality doesn't quite match up. After staying there several times we found that the least expensive rooms are in an old part of the hotel and haven't been updated in some time. The A/C often cannot go below 23C, even at full power. Paying an extra $10-20/ night gets a room that is much much nicer. Booking through the hotel directly gets free airport transfers. Booking through hotels.com means paying for the airport transfer ($15) but paying less for the room. Paying for the airport transfer is usually well worth it. Room staff is friendly, but be sure to put the safety lock on the door if you don't want them to enter immediately after they knock. Think of the knock as a warning that they are coming in rather than an inquiry as to whether or not it is OK. Restaurants at the hotel are quite expensive. Price wise it makes lots of sense to add the in-house buffet breakfast to the room rate before you get there. The service, even with the buffet, is slow and the restaurant seems to frequently be overwhelmed at breakfast when it can be difficult to find a table or the item on the buffet you are interested in. The evening buffet is 2-2.5 times what you would pay at an outside restaurant. If eating in the hotel for a meal other than breakfast, choose "The Chimney" restaurant for a better meal at a price similar to the buffet.

We were group of boys selected this hotel for location and casino royale. Though we were highly disappointed with cleanliness and service from casino royale but if I talk only about this hotel, it's quite old and thus badly need a renovation. Still at par on providing service, granted early check-in and little late check-out

Perfect place to stay

Hotel staff were very nice albeit slow. Restaurant staff (Chimney) were excellent. Needed to use business center and took two days. However, once I managed to get to use it, the staff was quite accommodating. Power went out regularly. Generator worked well. Packages sent were delivered very timely to my room.

This was my second business trip to Kathmandu and second visit to the Yak & Yeti.. Great staff, but the room amenities (I was on the Exec. Floor) leave much to be desired. A very cheap iron and ironing board literally damaged my clothes. Also, Wi-fi for more than two divices was not stable. Yet, great staff!
