Hotel Blue Horizon

Very basic hotel, with very uncomfortable beds in a noisy area of Thamel

This is a nice hotel with all the necessery basic facilities (do not expect luxury). The hotel has its own travel agent who is able to provide car service for siteseeing with an English speeking tour guide for reasonable price. The hotel also has a very nice garden where you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner. The location is very good, close by the shopping area where you can buy souveniers, nepali clothes etc. for a good price.

The Hotel was not clean in many ways - my room was not cleaned for 2 days. It had a foul smell coming through the windows. The AC in the room was not working and also the TV was grainy throughout. Further, unlike what was promised, the hotel did not provide me hotel drop which was told to me last minute. I had to shell out money just for that.

Good place to stay with a convenient location. Pretty easy to find your way back after a day of walking around.

Hotel location is good, but the service provided is pathetic. Never ever stay in this hotel if you want peace of mind and enjoy the holidays.

Quiet, great service, pretty garden seating, rooms are a good size, bathrooms a bit small, but better than some I have encountered!

Although the location of the hotel is good but it is need of overhaul and repair. Staff is good and responsive.

For a hotel in Kathmandu, this one is very nice. While staying here, I had everything I needed at a decent price. However, when the hotel states it offers 'Free airport shuttle' be aware that this only means pre-arranged transport from the airport to hotel, and not a return service. I was caught out by booking a more expensive room, so I could have transport back to the airport, to find that it wasn't actually the case. A taxi to the airport would only be very cheap anyway. Secondly, the hotel is situated at the end of quite a long allyway. While I am confident this ally is generally safe, at night time it is not lit up, and can be a bit scary to walk alone. (it was for me at least) - in daylight it is perfectly fine. The food is very good, and my room was nice and maintained. There is a nice private area to sit and eat. The hotel is in a good location, very close to the garden of dreams, and the former royal palace. It is also only a safe 5 min walk to the central Thamel area.The hotel seemed popular with an array of international people, who all looked happy to be there too.

Well located. Helpful staff. They did book a horrible taxi for the ride to the airport, and they do not have a shuttle, but for the price that is to be expected. The wi-fi didn't work well in the rooms but did work in the lobby.

Nepal is a developing country, that lacks in many basic facilities; like the electricity supply for example. The staff in Blue Horizon works really nicely to make you forget all the lacks in quality of the premises. Electricity is cut of half of a day, but they have a generator to make sure the most important time of the day; evening and night, you can have electricty to charge your cameras, lap-tops and phones. The hotel itself would really need some basic inexpensive fixing; mainly new paint, some new power outlets, some fixing of water taps, cleaning of airconditioners, washing of the curtains, etc. These are all very cheap things to fix, and would make the place very shiny at very low expense. For some reason no one sees these important to be done. The staff in the place is super friendly, and very professional in providing all the help regarding your visit. I myself am a manager of an accommodation service, and my experience is that my staff would need to learn some things from Blue Horizon staff, and Blue Horizon staff would maybe learn some things from our maintenance staff. But as the title says; the staff of Blue Horizon makes you really forgive all the quality lacks of the hotel itself. I recommend Blue Horizon to all!
