I stayed here for over 8 nights and had a great time! The owner himself texted many times with recommendations in the neighborhood and checking how we were doing. The room was nice, spacious and clean. Breakfast is a la carte, tasty, and they were flexible for adjusting a few things.

I am an incredible stay at Swarga Heritage Hotel. I was kindly upgraded to the premium Queen for my stay and it was beautifully decorated and incredibly clean. The hotel staff and the owner/architect Rahul were incredibly kind and hospitable during my stay. They helped to organize a pick up from the airport and a private tour of Kathmandu. The owner Rahul was very communicative over whatsapp and helped me to find great restaurants and sights to see around the city. They also offer a fantastic breakfast in the mornings as well. The hotel itself is absolutely stunning, I can't recommend this place enough and am looking forward to returning during future visits in Kathmandu.

Excellent, excellent, EXCELLENT stay. The staff were overwhelmingly hospitable and professional. The location is great in terms of accessibility and privacy. The street is always peaceful, which makes for a seamless sleep despite being in the thick of Thamel. When I return, there is no question I will stay again at Swarga Heritage Hotel! Thanks for making my four night stay so special.

Everything was great! The owner started reaching out once I booked the hotel. Days before my arrival there were multiple arounds of helpful information. I also booked the driver service with them. I felt welcomed upon arrival and the staff were all eager to help. The tour guide I hired through them was certified national Guide that can speak multiple languages. I used him for all my tours. I feel I can communicate with the owner any needs and he will accommodate me. My trip to Nepal has been such a pleasure due to the hotel. My daughter loves the breakfast here. And shopping and other restaurants are all so close!

Népal is my 81 country to visit and Swarga boutique hotel is definitely in the top 10 hotels I have stayed. Not only it is absolutely beautiful, very nicely curated ( my daughter is an interior designer and loved it) but the kindness of the owner, of the staff they went the extreme extra mile to make it an absolute amazing experience for us! They helped us with everything ( mistake in reserving, problem with luggage… you name it) they couldn’t have been kinder. The breakfast was also fantastic( choice of Nepalese, American etc) so if I ever came back to Nepal I would definitely return here!! Thank you soooo much for treating us so well!

Excellent value, central hotel with a personl feel

We returned to the Swarga after staying at other bigger hotels and immediately enjoyed the more personal feel of a smaller hotel. The interior with genuine Nepalese artefacts and the delightful courtyard for breakfast make for a charming and relaxing ambiance. The excitement of old Kathmandu is just around the corner, yet the hotel itself is an oasis of calm and quiet. The staff are very pleasant and helpful. We would certainly return here.
