My stay was really very good and comfortable. The staff took every step to make me happy and upgraded me to a m ore expensive room.The place is located away from noise and pollusion. There is a nice garden sitting area. Wifi has problems in certain areas. A new property, the international brand of Marriot is opening next door which will make this area more attractive and safer. Curreently, a walk from the main road to the proeprty is difficult and unsafe.

'Character' Hotel central to Thamel tourist area

I was staying on my own for 5 days after my daughters had left for home and a little apprehensive. The great thing about this hotel is the people who come through. There is a garden with tables dotted around - make use of this as I met so many nice people and got to go on more adventures. It can be a little challenging with the power being shut off for most of the day but on the whole it was manageable. The food was mostly nice with only one incident of cold/not very nice food.

Nothing to offer

It is not a hotel even worse than many motels in North America. No water, the pot, nothing. They seemed do not care about family and children, they separated my children room in 2nd floor and Ground floor, means separated family in very inconvenienced. They collected money for 30 min 3 children's parachute/paragliding in contracted, they provided less than 10 min. for two kids, one for may be 15min., they used earthquake to bully children and travelers. upset about the situation.

Apparently staff were present?

Staff were elusive and their advice, considering we arrived late at night was slim to say the least. Woken at 5 am by the fire hose cleaning of foot path outside. Sheets on the bed were unique, like sleeping at the beach, with sand and just a general feeling of not clean.

Hotel Blue Horizon Review

Hotel Staff is great and operate a business of tours to take in Nepal. I had a good time. only concern is heat and electricity in hotel goes off at certain times of day to conserve energy. Staying in the room on days you want to take it easy is a little difficult without lights and heat. Showering was a little hard too. It took forever for water to heat up. If you can overlook these inconveniences and appreciate the friendliness of the staff and the good food, then this hotel is not so bad. the tours they provided were excellent too.

I stayed for 6 days during my Nepali holiday. Hotel restaurant food was nutritious - we spoited ourselvews by having food delivered to the open roof top patio or our room.

Great location and good value for money.

The hotel staff can be a bit much when it comes to pressuring you in to going on a tour. Other than that, a great experience. There were some mushrooms growing next to our bathroom, tho...

Wonderful

For some forgotten reason, we booked this one for our followup stay in Kathmandu, instead of going back to the other place. But it was well worth the switch. The other place was very nice, but this one was even better, in every important respect. Highly recommended.

a bit disappointing

Good quiet location, close to Thamel. Nice garden area to sit outside. Room was dirty, and drains smelly. Room had a fridge which was unusable because of the smell inside it. Shower curtain mould stained.Despite a large percentage of westerners making up their clientele you would have thought they might have lifted their game. Showers were hot, Staff helpful.
