Madhuban Guest House in Kathmandu … I lived there, and around, for a few weeks in 2001 and I tell you everything was fine, from the airport pickup I arranged with them via e-mail to the service provided. And also there's the wonderful rooftop garden from where you can fly a kite, competing with the kids on the neighbor's roof, and enjoy the view at the same time. I'll be back.
Hotel Snowland in Pokhara … A very good place to stay and learn the Nepali culture. The staff were very helpful and happy all the time. We had a tour of the whole of Pokhara. Beautiful place to relax. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Hotel Mandala in Pokhara … A very nice and clean budget hotel with friendly staff. I would recommend the rooms in the garden behind the main building. These are a little older, less expensive, slightly more spacious, and very quiet. This is the quieter end of Lakeside, though now considerably well developed compared with a few years ago. The Laughing Buddha restaurant, just 1 minute down the road, offers a very good value set breakfast. The family across the road is worth contacting. The wife (Saraswati) will do your laundry, and her husband (Lal) is an excellent porter/guide if you wish to arrange your own trekking without an agency. I have trekked with him around Manaslu, and trekked and climbed with him in the Khumbu. He is strong, extremely professional and reliable and has a big heart.
Acme Guest House in Kathmandu … This hostel is an extremely friendly place to stay. It is right in the heart of Thamel. The owner had contacts for whatever leisure activities you wanted to plan. I spent many a night drinking by the fire outside. Many thanks, Shwabi.
Hotel Diplomat in Kathmandu … This is a very good economy hotel. i have stayed 4 times in 3 years. Very good hotel. Cheap and Best.
Kathmandu Guest House in Kathmandu … I am a regular visitor to Nepal and stayed in most of the 5-star hotels in Kathmandu. I stayed in KGH for the first time in 1998 and since then it became my most preferred place to stay whenever I visit Kathmandu, once every 3 months. I love the garden and the architecture of the whole building. The rooms are spacious and well kept and every one is friendly. It is a memorable place to stay!
Hotel Down Town in Kathmandu … Very friendly staff - very welcoming. I would very much recommend it. Also very comfortable bed and nice roof top!
Hotel Paradise Plaza in Kathmandu … I was there for a few days and found the stay quite comfortable.
Hotel Snowland in Pokhara … We really enjoyed our stay at Snowland. The people were helpfull and the service was very good.
(The doctor was expensive, but hey..., it was nescesairy to visit one!!)
It was no problem for them to store our luggage, while we were trekking in annapurna area.
Certainly we will come back in october 2006!!!
Thank you very much!!!
