Lavie Residence and Spa

We spend 4 days at Lavie hotel and we enjoyed our stay. Allthough the road is quite busy, after 10pm the traffic slows down heavily and the traffic noise disappears. We went several times to the early morning walking ceremony around Bouddhanath Stupa which is only a 10min walk from the hotel. The staff is great and we would like to thank Ms. Dawa in particular for her great support. She helped us to buy tickets for a local music festival and supported my wife when she didn’t feel comfortable. Thanks, Dawa!

I stayed at the Lavee Residence twice during my trek in Nepal. I was trekking the Annapurna circuit but relaxed both before and after at the Lavee, which was recommended to me by my Nepali friend and guide. This turned out to be an excellent place to stay and would highly recommend it to anyone planning on staying in Kathmandu. The driveway to the residence is private and secure and the front reception was polite and ready with room arrangements. He ensured that I received one of the best rooms in the residence with a balcony. The room itself was spacious with a wonderful bathroom and plenty of hot water. The restaurant is top notch and I ate there for breakfast twice, lunch and a dinner and all the food was delicious, fresh and quick to serve. The trout for lunch was perfectly cooked. Sitting outside at night we could enjoy the fire with the movie playing in the background. The seats are wonderfully covered in fur skins and the bar is fully stocked. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else and look forward to my next visit.

I stayed here 6 weeks and would do it again! The staff bend over backwards to be helpful and pleasant. Hats off to manager Kamala! The food is excellent!The rooms are comfortable and provide electric water kettle, hair dryer and modern heating (cooling). The rooms are a bit worn and not so clean everywhere (closet shelves, under beds, table), although bathrooms were very clean. A refrigetstor would have been nice. The street noise is gone by 9 p.m. and I didn't hear anything from other rooms. The rooftop bar wasn't in use, but I imagine it could be noisy in the summertime.

I stayed here for 4 nights with my friends. The staffs and especially the manager treated us very well. Although there were some unexpected issues related with facilities, we still enjoyed our stay a lot. The food was awesome and service was fascinating. Absolutely a hidden gem for those who want to stay away the noisy side of tourist. Small hotel with only 8 rooms, 5 stars for service and food.

It was nice and cozy to spend time in this hotel. Owner Steven was very friendly and helped us in everything. We are very grateful for that. Delicious breakfasts, pleasant atmosphere, everything is very clean and homely. It was as if we were visiting our friend. Many thanks.

We spent 14 days here making it our base and traveling to different places. The Swiss owner and attentive friendly and professional Nepali staff made our stay ever-so-enjoyable. The garden restaurant is a peaceful oasis in the middle of the city bustle around Bouda Temple. Not only is the food delicious making it a place ex-pats love to dine at regularly but also Nepali families, ******* monks and travelers as we were appreciate the atmospere, peace and quiet and fresh air. The villa itself is furnished beautifully, the rooms spacious, super comfortable mattresses and everything spotlessly clean. It feels like home and we‘ll certainly come back whenever in Nepal.
