This is my sixth visit to Nepal. First visit l was in a beautiful five star hotel. I felt l was alienated from culture and public of Nepal which l wanted to be part of. Luckily l found Kathmandu Eco. Hotel in Thamel. For last five visits this hotel is my home away from home. When l arrive the friendly smiling and caring welcome compensates for all the tiredness l have by traveling my home in England. The rooms are clean, well kept, spacious with all the amenities. The noise levels are very minimal, l can relax and have sound sleep. The breakfast is varied and sumptuous. The service is second to none, always welcoming and smiling. Food variety is good and cooks do everything possible to cook to your taste. Bar is adequate, the background Nepali music is super. The reception staff welcomes you with broad smile and caters to your needs. In all honesty you become part of the family. The love, care they give you compensates for any inadequacy. The management team consisting of Raj, Ram and Bimal are always available to sort out your needs. I wish them all the good luck. To me this is my home away from home.
