I've stayed at the Summit Hotel a minimum of four times, and visited it often when I was living in Kathmandu as it was in the area. What's not mentioned in other reviews here is that the Summit Hotel also has a guesthouse level of accommodation, with rooms with a shared bathroom, in a guesthouse attached to the main hotel.... more

I stayed there two times, once for work, the other time before/after a trek. I enjoyed it very much both times. The place is in a quiet area (Patan), close to the center of Kathmandu by Taxi. Patan also has nice places to visit, eat,... so it is very convenient. The hotel is located near embassies, some UN agencies,... The... more
