“would highly recommend making the swimming pool heated so that guests can enjoy swimming comfortably throughout the year”
+What I loved most about Hotel Shanker was its rich history and heritage. The architecture, the beautiful front lawn, and the overall look and feel of the property create a wonderful sense of nostalgia. Knowing that this was once a royal Rana palace makes the experience even more special. The entire place carries an old-world charm that takes you back in time.
−The room and bathroom could have been a little more spacious. I understand that the smaller windows are part of the palace’s original architectural style, so that wasn’t an issue for me. The food was decent, although there is room for improvement in terms of quality and taste. The swimming pool wasn’t heated, which made the water too cold to enjoy comfortably. Other than that, everything was great.

“Would thoroughly recommend this lovely hotel with excellent well trained staff”
+The Shankar’s staff were polite and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Rooms were large and the bed comfortable. I counted 22 light switches, so a light combination to suit everyone. The shower was roomy and had two shower heads. We had a few power cuts when we were there which lasted minutes, but there were 2 emergency lights in hallway and toilet so not left in the dark. The hotel is undertaking renovations so maybe that’s why. It wasn’t a problem. Buffet dinner is really nice, with the soup being exceptional.
−There is a small gym area in the spa section. , It has three machines. However, the air-con doesn’t work, there are no sanitisers for the equipment, no towels or cups for water. It could be upgraded at small cost

I would especially like to thank Ganesh at the reception for being so helpful, kind, and welcoming. His outstanding service made my stay even more enjoyable. Thank you, Ganesh, and the entire Shankar Hotel team for the great hospitality. Highly recommended!

“A pretty heritage palace”
+I like the building. It's a beautiful small heritage palace with a nice garden. The staffs in the reception were friendly. I was upgraded to a suite because there was a renovation works on another floor which made a lot of noise. The rooms are clean. The beds are comfortable. A small birthday cake presented on my birthday. The breakfast was good with enough variations/styles to choose, with friendly staffs.There is egg station and at least four different juices. The Bar is also okay. Better than I expected regarding the list of the beverages.
−The bathroom sink, both in the first room as well as in the suite were brown around the drain hole. I had to tell the cleaning staffs to clean them properly. The breakfast is in a party hall.
