    “De locatie is quite nice, en de tuin ook écht mooi. Ontbijt was prima (i.d.z.v. gepast voor een hotel van deze categorie, maar niets bijzonders), en het eten in "The Chimney" (een restaurant binnen het hotel-complex) heel lekker.”

  • Provides everything you need to a good standard.

    “We had a fabulous stay at Hotel Yak and Yeti, Kathmandu. We stayed in the Club Shangri-La King room for 9 days and each day was amazing. The Hotel is centrally located and most places are easily accessible. We would especially like to mention the team at The Club Shangri-La lounge. Amar, Suman, Ayushma and Shradha took exceptional care and made sure that everything was perfect. Their warm smiles and genuine commitment to make our stay memorable, was commendable. The lounge served very tasty and freshly prepared items daily from 10:30 AM to 7:30 PM. Fresh juices, tea, coffee, healthy snacks and mouthwatering side dishes. They ensured that our son’s birthday celebration was memorable and something to cherish. A special thanks to Aayushma for keeping our son engaged with interesting facts about the hotel and patiently listening to his stories. The buffet breakfast served in The Spice Room also deserves a special mention as everything was tasty and they went the extra mile to ensure that the tea was to our liking and the dosas were always crispy. Our son loved the pancakes made on special request. Jhapad, Anisha and John knew what we wanted and everything was ordered even without reminding them once. Other things including the room, swimming pool and the garden were all well maintained and up to the standards of a five star property but it was their hospitality (from the guard all the way to the management staffs) that made it exceptional. We would recommend the hotel and would definitely come back to enjoy the warm hospitality.”

  • Great hotel option in Kathmandu.

    “Three of us stayed at Yak & Yeti before and after our Kailash Parikrama, and it was a wonderful experience. The property is beautiful, well maintained, and very welcoming. Our rooms were clean, spacious, and comfortable. What truly made our stay memorable was the exceptional staff. Everyone we interacted with was professional, warm, and genuinely helpful. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner were all excellent, and we’ll definitely miss both the delicious food and the wonderful hospitality. My apologies if I’ve missed a few names, but a special thank you to Jhapad, John, Anisha, Manisha, and Raj for making our stay so enjoyable and memorable. ❤️”

  • A Wonderful Stay at the Yak & Yeti – Exceptional Service from the Club Shangri-La Team

    “I had a wonderful stay at the Yak & Yeti in Nepal and would happily recommend it to anyone visiting Kathmandu, especially solo travellers. From the moment I arrived, the service was excellent. The airport pickup and drop-off were included and made the arrival and departure completely stress-free. The hotel itself is peaceful and relaxing, with beautiful gardens that provide a lovely escape from the busy city. The breakfast was satisfying, with a good selection of options, including gluten-free choices, which I really appreciated. I had booked a Club Shangrila room, which was overlooking the gardens, it was clean and and very comfortable. What truly made my stay special, however, was the Club Shangri-La team — Aayushma, Shradha, Amar and Suman. They were consistently warm, welcoming and attentive throughout my stay. After a long day of sightseeing, it was always such a pleasure to return and be greeted by the team with a glass of wine and great conversation. As a solo traveller, I particularly appreciated how attentive they were. They took the time to chat, make me feel welcome and offer excellent suggestions for places to visit and things to do. Their genuine hospitality made me feel very comfortable and well looked after throughout my stay. A special thank you to the team for making my time at the Yak & Yeti so enjoyable. Their service and warmth really stood out and added something special to my trip. I hope I will be able to return soon.”
