Himalayan Ghar arvostelua

This review is written with the local context in mind, understanding that certain amenities and services may differ from Western standards. Pros Location: Quiet at the end of a dead-end, though it's on the outer edge of Thamel. Room: Spacious, clean, with good AC. The safe was quickly fixed when it malfunctioned. Breakfast: Bacon and custom eggs are a nice touch, especially in KTM. Service: Friendly, responsive staff who adapt well to guest needs. Cleaning is thorough. Amenities: Good internet and backup generator during frequent power outages. Cons Location: Dogs barking at night can still be heard. Room: No soundproofing, so you'll hear everything, from doves outside to neighbors in the hallway. The bathroom window lacks blinds, forcing us to improvise with a bathrobe. Shower pressure is weak and inconsistent, and there's no shelf for toiletries. The minibar stayed at room temperature throughout our stay. The room has a bit of a worn-down feel with strong smells of mothballs and bleach. Breakfast: Most hot items were cold, and tables weren’t well cleaned. Service: We chose this hotel for its advertised on-site laundry facilities, which are supposedly a rare find in Kathmandu. However, we were disappointed to find that the laundry service was itemized and expensive, just like most other hotels. We felt a bit misguided by this. Nearby laundromats are a much more affordable option. Airport transfer is also more expensive than local taxis, though they did offer a small discount when asked. Manager: Very friendly but did ask us for a perfect 10/10 review, which felt a bit uncomfortable. The arranged airport transfer was a bit of a hassle due to communication issues, but they did eventually sort it out. Property: Backup generator is great, but outages caused some issues with charging devices in the room, which was resolved quickly. Price is a bit high compared to other nearby hotels we stayed at.
