Find Guest Houses in Nepal

We went for a 5 day trip to the mesmerizing Nepal. Booked the hotel on our way back to our home country, just the day before our flight. We got a good deal from agoda for a Deluxe bed room. The bed was a bit bigger compare to the size of the room. The bathroom had nice configuration. 24 hrs hot water supply. It had a tiny balcony also, only one person could barely stand on the balcony as there was the exterior AC unit. There was a nice garden restaurant in the back yard which was really a nice attraction as a budget hotel, keeping in mind that Thamel is a very congested area with all the hotels, Pubs, Bars, Restaurants and Shops. We arrived there from Pokhara and we were so exhausted from the long bus journey that they offered us coffee, tea and drinks. Had a nice breakfast. When were checking out, hearing that we are going for a international flight they tied a scarf around our neck which they told was for the Good Luck! friendly staff. Overall it was a stay worth the money!!

Since 1999 I have stayed at many small hotels in Kathmandu (I do research on bird migration each October-Nov-Dec) - mostly all in the $10-$25/day USD. Hotel Backyard is at the top of the list because it gets so many things done well such as: (a) internet works fast, even when the hotel is completely full; (b) hot water is really hot (but make sure to take your shower in the afternoon or early evening...from 5am to 9am you will get warm water simply because so many people are getting ready to catch a bus/plane in the morning...and this is true of every hotel I have stayed at in Nepal. Also, the solar panels heat the water greatly in the afternoon as well); (c) free pick-up (or drop-off) at the airport in a large jeep (my experience) and not a small taxi...wonderful experience; (d) breakfast - good choice of options included (for me) in price of hotel; (d) polite and very efficient staff who will make up your room if you ask...or solve problems quickly; and finally (e) TV works 100% fine with CNN and other news shows..not a large TV but it gets all the stations just fine. Anyway, for a small hotel this place works well and though it may be tough to find at first (set off on a side street near Yak Restaurant) it is great value for the money (take the phone number and give to your taxi driver if not being picked up directly by hotel staff in their jeep). Agoda price for this place is the best - book in advance because many people know about this hotel now. Expect to pay about $20 USD/night though you can find it as a special on Agoda for approx. 20% less. Highly recommended - you won't find a better value hotel in Kathmandu and I have stayed at a lot of places...trust me on this one.

I arrived late night in Kathmandu. I told the hotel that this is my first time in Nepal and if they could provide me a airport service. Govinda and the other one are patiently waiting for us (another guest) in the airport as our flight is delayed. He also accompanied me to walked around Thamel to find a money changer as I have to change money. Even the duty manager helped me to booked a bus ticket to Pokhara Im just lucky that there is one company pick up the call because its already midnight.

For e very first time visiting Nepal, in state of being worried staying alone, e staffs will really give u e sense of security. For e airport pick-up, to ur stay in their hotel, till e day u leave, everything R all well taken care of. I feel tt it's a excellent gd choice for budget/solo traveler (female traveler specially). I stayed in this hotel for near to 2 weeks, but I don't regret at all, my stay was pleasant & I'm very glad I chose to stay this long. If u're traveling alone, u can always have a nice conversation wif other guests. if u're interested in trekking they can provide u information & other touring services. e manager & e staffs were excellent information source & provide tour that suite to ur needs. e room is very spacious & clean although it is very very basic, wat u see is wat u will get. There is a nice terrace where u can have ur breakfast & definitely a nice start of a day. u can really enjoy e nice view of the hills & mountains behind/ enjoy ur reading since e weather is really nice & cooling. 24 hrs hot water supply. free wi-fi which didn't give me any problems. It's a small hotel, but cozy & e atmosphere is really like home. e manager really impressed me alot, u don't have to worried abt communication barrier. He's able to speak good English, Japanese & of course Hindi. I will always remember he said: "Is this ur very first time in Nepal?" & started explaining everything to u. e staffs & their guides were very helpful, polite, friendly, fun-loving & speak good English. So don't hesitate to ask them whatever u need, from simple things to anything u need, they'll definitely find a way to help u & always wif a great smile. They will always greet u every morning & will ask u wat they can do for u. They'll accommodate ur requests to make u feel at home. Not forgetting e kitchen staffs, it's definitely not a 4 stars restaurant standard, but it's like home cooking. e food was always freshly cooked, also very

1. All the staff & manager are very welcoming and helpful. 2. Room is very clean and spacious. 3. Located in a very strategic place. It's not in the middle of Thamel, hence quiet & calm, yet it takes only 3 minutes of walk to reach the heart of Thamel. 4. Breakfast buffet has a good spread and very tasty. We loved our short stay at this hotel. We wish we could stay there a bit more. Hotel staffs helped us with everything we need and also offered a complimentary drop off to the bus stop in the early morning. Cheers!

I got upgraded with Shakya when I arrived late at nite . I booked it two hours prior my arrival , the owner was kind enough to arrange everything : pick up - food for me . I arrived like 12 at nite . The room is extremely clean , well located in patan , Patan touristic spots = 12 mins walk . But it's still very peaceful ! Bfast was good ! I was pleased !! The staff were kind ! Since I'm a female solo Traveller , the owner do make sure I'm all fine . When I got lost , he would quickly find me a pick up . Even if it's late at nite . Plus , he was very responsive ! From arranging my ticket to pokhara - Makinh sure I wld wake up at 6 am to catch for my bus . It was a lovely stay , u can c the owner really put the effort to make your stay as pleasant as possible ! :)

Wonderful lodge high above Lake Fewa, outside Pokhara, with terrific views of the Annapurna range and the Lake from our own window. Yes, it's a bit isolated from Pokhara, but we loved the peaceful environment, a short walk from the Peace Pagoda. We took a longer walk west across the hills, past villages and fields, to a dramatic view tower run by a small village (its name sounded like "Pomdicot"). The lodge is co-owned and managed by Englishwoman Juliette Cunliffe, who is also the well-known author of many books on dogs, and a dog-show judge. She has a wonderful place. Breakfasts and dinners on the terrace, with full views of the mountains, were a joy. Our two-bed room was a bit small, but well-appointed, with a good shower. Others who were there during the rainy season seem to have found the solar-heated water insufficient, but in the sun of early November we had no problem whatsoever. In Nepal, water is normally heated by sunlight in big black tanks on the roof, as it is at Peace Dragon.

We loved our 2 nights here in early December. We arrived in the dark but a hotel member came out to meet our taxi at the edge of town and accompanied us in the car to the hotel which was very helpful. It's located just off Durbar Square so in a great position for seeing everything but quiet enough on the evening. Both days we got up early to enjoy the amazing views from the roof terrace and see the sun rise, the roof is one of the highest around. Our room was lovely, quite traditional and very clean and the shower had the hottest water so far in our month in Nepal no matter what time of day! Really great! The breakfast was lovely, toast followed by Nepali pancakes and rosti with occasional extras and fruit to end! Such good value. The wonderful family running the hotel were always very polite and helpful and provided a lovely touch at the end with a traditional purse for myself! Some of the best hospitality we have had in Nepal and we would definitely stay again! Fully recommend to anyway planning a few nights in Bhaktapur.

Rarely did I get in a hotel such a friendly nice welcome. Chefs house is not only well kept, the chef personally is also looking for an amiable watchful service. In addition, he is an excellent cook experienced in traditional Nepalese, Asian and European kitchen that he can combine in a creative way. I had a very pleasant stay there for some days. To recommend as a place a little bit outside of hectic centre of Kathmandu, quite but anyway in a lively area.

We booked our room at hotel Tropicana the day we reached pokhara as we weren’t happy with the location of the booking we had made. We proceeded to the hotel at about 4.30pm at which time there was no one at the reception. I called the hotel number given on agoda and the desk phone rang to which we heard a rude “who’s it” from one of the rooms on the ground floor. The owners son came towards us and asked us what we wanted and we showed him our agoda booking. He seemed very confused. Then his father, the owner came out of his room and I showed him the booking, he also seems grumpy, angry and confused. Him and his son were exchanging some irritable words in Nepalese and happened to take my phone out of my hand to inspect the confirmation given by agoda. They asked me to email the confirmation to them, which I did. I would have cancelled my booking at that moment but it was non refundable. Finally the owner was satisfied that I had a booking but in his grumpy fashion asked his son to show us to our room. This hotel did not ask us for any ID which I found extremely strange. About the room: it was spacious and clean, shower was hot and the shower pressure was good. We had a nice balcony overlooking the north lakeside. We had a double bed and a single bed which was enough and more space for the two of us. The problem with the location of this hotel is how noises it gets outside. There’s quite a racket going on outside till about 12am so it’s quite impossible to really relax and sleep at a decent hour. I’d say this is a decent place for a night if you have absolutely no where to go.

Kathmandu Nomad Hotel is suitable hotel for foreigners. The location of Hotel center of Thamel, it's safe location and easy to access nearby attractions place and things to do. The owner of Hotel and staff are more friendly and they all able to speak English in well manner. The Nomad Hotel also have restaurant and the food really delicious and taste. The price also reasonable with the quality of food. Have a great trip to Kathamandu, Nepal

I stayed 6 nights here, do to some work I had in Patan. After a long day of work it was a pleasure to come back to the hotel, where I would enjoy a hot shower in a clean bathroom. Allthough Nepal has power cuts, I had light and electricity at all times. Due to the few rooms (i think 5?) it is very personal. The staff is very helpful with any questions. I was even accompanied to the busstop for pokhara, to make sure i would find the correct bus. For me breakfast is very important. And here at the life story, I was surprized every day with a delicious, well ballanced home made breakfast of eggs, carbs and fruit. You can also have meals here, I never did tho. How ever I had an other guest tell me, that they make the best food he had in Nepal. Next time I'll definately have to try. This is your home, if you are looking for a quiet, compfy place where u feel a true guest and whitness of the newary way of living. - Also if u dont mind hearing the ceremonies in the tempel at 5am.

Hotel Aster Nepal is definitely one of the best hotels I have stayed in Kathmandu. The location, friendliness and attentiveness of the staff, the luxury elements are just perfect. Every little detail is thought of. Fabulous small hotel in the centre of Thamel and close to all amenities and transport. It is very elegant and comfortable. Rooms are well appointed and the beds very comfortable. Staff extremely polite and helpful and make your stay a very special experience. I have stayed at many hotels in Kathmandu over the years with some a little more expensive than this one, but here the quality really shines through. Free Wi-Fi, Airport pick up, complimentary breakfast adds more quality in the Hotel,highly recommended.

All the staff were polite, helpful and also friendly. They welcomed me with big smiles all the time and cared about me to make sure if I am enjoying my stay. There is a lovely cafe on the roof top. It has great view including snow capped mountains, lit up monky temple and so on. And it's surrounded with green plants and flowers, so that I could have peaceful moment in a chaotic city. In the evening, guests from all over the world gathered on the roof top and enjoyed BBQ party together. The food was great, beer was icy cold, and chat was interesting. Staff also joined us and we all had great time together. Other than these, there are 24h hot shower, strong wifi, tour desk, security camera, etc. I couldn't expect more. I was really lucky to find this hotel which made my stay in Nepal wonderful. I hope I will come back to Nepal again, and for sure I will come back to this hotel. My nepali friends, thank you guys all!

this hotel faces a beautiful traditional square, just a minute walk from street markets and temples and other sites. the area itself is where artists gather and there are ample street arts around, and there will only be more. the building is old and historical, refurbished nicely and with some modernity added. the staff are great and helpful, it is a family and friends business. the rooms are big and comfortable but could be dark if you are not facing the square.

The Hotel is very clean and well maintained, the fooding and lodging is very good. Main problem is Electricity which is a major problem in Nepal. The Manager was very helpful, when ever any one goes to chitwan always inform the Hotel before one day so as to book the tour on your behalf. The hotel staff was very helpful took us to a ride for conoe trip which is a good exp..

First and foremost, after a long road journey I appreciated the hot shower that greeted me. I’ve been traveling around Nepal for about a week and this has to be one of the hottest showers I’ve had. The whole place was clean and the bed was firm but comfy. Most of all, it was absolutely quiet at night. There were the occasional dog barking, but compared to Thamel, this was absolute peace. Basically, all the basics you need are completely covered and really well done. It's very close to Boudhanath and has a gated parking area so if you're riding a motorbike you can safely keep it at night.
