Staff where pleasant and very courteous, Sita from the Chimney restaurant was very knowledgeable and told me about the history of the hotel, which I found interesting. Certainly had some old charisma about the place, really outstanding in the middle of Kathmandu. Nice food and atmosphere in the chimney restaurant, large comfortable lounges in and around reception.

I enjoyed the peace and tranquillity of the gardens and hotel away from the hustle and bustle of the traffic in Kathmandu. The rooms were clean and modern and the bed was large and comfortable. The hotel was tucked away in a more upmarket part of Kathmandu close to shops and restaurants. This is a large hotel which was originally a palace. There are plenty of rooms on 5 floors and dining areas and check in areas are large. The staff were friendly and always courteous. We had a problem with the tv but after it was reported it was quickly sorted. The complimentary drink and food after check in was a nice touch and much appreciated. This is the largest 5* hotel in Kathmandu and we thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. I would recommend staying at this hotel especially if you have just spent two weeks trekking in the Himalayas.

Disappointing

Sadly the rooms were old and dirty. The carpets had so many stains on it, the bathrooms need renovating and over 3 nights our electrics blew 5 times. On the first night we stayed in a heritage room and my husband was also bitten whilst in bed, so not sure I'd they have bugs as well. On the second night we upgraded as we were disappointed with the room, however we were not anymore impressed with the junior suite at the price that was charged. The casino is also old and dirty. It is a shame they don't have a coffee shop, the breakfast is also over priced for what is offered. It is a shame but this is not worth the rates they were charging and is definitely not 4 star. The private pickup from the airport was also overpriced for the quality of car sent which again was old and dirty. Water was not hot dor having a bath.very poor lighting in the rooms so not good for girls...
Some of the staff were helpful but not all. Sadly I do not have many good things to say.

“Although some points for the hotel to work on, overall I enjoyed my stay, hotel has great atmosphere”
- • Business trip

Took over 1 hour on arrival to book in and get your room, when discussed with the staff, she stated we are looking for a good room. I would of understood if I had an upgrade but when I eventually got the room...I would say it was a pretty standard room. The room.....I would say they are just at the point for revamp (carpets are looking tired, bathroom required updating). Travelling on business, I required more electric plug points and possible USB points in the room (had to move tables and bed side cabinets to access sockets) and also hotel. Plenty of seating in the hotel lounges but no plug sockets for todays world travelers.
Staff where pleasant and very courteous, Sita from the Chimney restaurant was very knowledgeable and told me about the history of the hotel, which I found interesting. Certainly had some old charisma about the place, really outstanding in the middle of Kathmandu. Nice food and atmosphere in the chimney restaurant, large comfortable lounges in and around reception.

“The Y & Y is a lovely hotel and it was so nice to escape from the chaos of the traffic in Katmandu.”

My only gripe was with the breakfast. Even though there was plenty of choice there was only two choices of fresh fruit which was melon. I think more choice would be an improvement. A wider variety of eggs also would be an improvement instead of pre- cooked omelette and proper sausage meat instead of hot dog style chicken sausages. I like HP brown sauce but none was to be found. Like I said it is only a gripe but this is a 5* hotel and your expectations are higher when it comes to choice and variety of food offered.

The actual hotel was appalling. Worst experience we have ever had. Construction going on from 6am to 8pm every night of our stay, rude reception staff, bugs in the room and power cuts every night.
The chimney restaurant is an asset to the hotel. And Anil the waiter is amazing - such a credit to his manager.
