Kathmandu Guest House: Every convenience! Kathmandu Guest House Review

stayed at the Kathmandu Guest House on my last night in Nepal and was pleasently surprised. It is extremely well set up with several gardens to relax in, restaurants, shops, internet cafe, massage and even movies shown every night.

The rooms are fairly comfortable, with a standard having 2 singles (quite hard) and the bathroom quite big. Hot water comes out instantly as well which is a very big novalty! All rooms have a view of somewhere on the property being it the restaurant or the gardens, you won't be dissapointed.

It is a very big place and they have room for hundreds of people to stay. Be aware that it is also the starting point for trips throughout Nepal with companies like Intrepid, although this won't affect your stay.

The big draw card for the Kathmandu Guest House is it's location. It's right in the heart of Themal and you won't have to go far to eat or shop. Perfect!!

Comparison: less expensive than average

Price: less than US$20

Hotel Harati: Comfortable with a huge garden Hotel Harati Review

We stayed at the Hotel Harati which is located just outside of the Themal area.

It is a comfortable hotel with a huge lobby, garden, restaurant and terrace. The rooms are Ok with TV's (with actual English channels! A treat after China), bathrooms with shower over bath (although the water is brown), twin beds, airconditioning and either a view of the street or the back garden area.

I did see a suite and it is 4 times as big as a standard room but also 4 times the price.

All in all I'd recommend the Hotel Harati as it is close to the action but also very peaceful and relaxing.
