Hotel was suggested by contact at a trekking company in Kathmandu. Both rooms shown were very pleasant. Hot water 24hrs per day. Large room with sofa. Satellite TV. Telephone.

This means that the rooftop has nice outdoor common seating areas on... more

Hotel Blue Horizon [--] is close to the popular Thamel region of Kathmandu but is semi-secluded on a side street away from the hubbub. We stayed in a deluxe double room which was comfortable enough, but the bed mattress was just OK.
