We have been staying and living in Kathmandu for a long time. We have stayed in many different hotels and guesthouses, trying to find these, special, cozy places to stay for our clients. Of course there are many great hotels and guesthouses you can choose from, and the reason we never include the Kathmandu hotels in our trips, is just to give you the freedom to stay where you want. You decide if you stay in an inexpensive guesthouse, small hotel or in one of the best (and expensive) hotels in Kathmandu and even in the world! It's totally up to you.
To make it more easy for you, we've already selected 5 interesting places that we would like to recommend to you. They vary in price, facilities, location and of course... luxury. We can book these hotels for you when you book a trip with us (see bookingform), or if you prefer, you can book the hotels yourself! We might be able to get you a discount, that's why it's probably better if we make the arrangements. Anyway, for each hotel you'll find the link to the hotel's website and the clients comments on Tripadvisor. The last one is a great way to get a general impression, but don't take everything for granted!
