We stayed at the Vajra Guesthouse two separate times during our visit to the Kathmandu Valley area. Each visit was terrific ! This beautiful guesthouse is designed to showcase the exquisite decorative arts that abound in this small gem of Nepali town. When you see beautiful entry with it’s the gorgeous carved front doors, you will know that this place... More

We stayed at this hotel in April and found it a very comfortable place to stay. The guesthouse is conveniently located in the heart of the city. The room was small but clean and comfortable with a very comfortable bed. Bathroom was just OK. The quality of the food was variable. A vegetable burger we were served on the 1st... More

Our trekking group had two nights at the Vajra earlier this month and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. We were a diverse group of 10 and the Varja suited us perfectly. The hotel looks older than it is - those beautiful entrance doors open onto a welcoming reception area, beyond which is a garden restaurant. We had two lunches, a breakfast... More

Comfortable room, great bed, an excellent base for just wandering around the old town. Staff very pleasant & friendly, with good advice on what to do locally. (in the right season, it's best to visit Nagarkot from here) There are mountain views from the roof, when its clear, & views over the unique roof shapes of the city from the... More

Located in a great area of Bhaktapur near all the sites. The staff and the rooms were the best that I found in Nepal. Highly recommended. The beds were amazing and the view from the roof was excellent.

We spent 2 nights at Vajra Guest House and loved every minute (except when I was sick, but that wasn't the guesthouse's fault!). The location is perfect, close enough to Durbar Square to offer terrific views (book a room on the top floor if you can), but not exactly IN the square, so it's quieter when you need some rest....

Arrived here on 11.11.2011 for five nights. My first impression was of a very friendly staff the second of a large sunny bedroom. The guest house is only one minute away from Durbar Square - I enjoyed my early morning walks only with the locals - and was so glad I had chosen to stay here and not in Kathmandu.... More

My husband and I were visiting Nepal for the first time and we came across the Vajra Guest House. Upon entering, we were greeted by the owner, Mr.Dipesh and made to feel right at home with a cup of tea and a chat. We were given a room on the 3rd floor facing the square with a beautiful view.
