Hotel Blue Horizon

We booked this room because it included airport shuttle, breakfast and daily yoga in the room price. On arrival we presented our printed confirmation with those benefits written and confirmed. We were told airport shuttle is for arrivals only, you have to pay for breakfast and yoga is no longer offered. We were told to speak to the manager if we disputed those refusals. But the manager would not be available till the next day, after we left. The staff is rude and indifferent. No offer of help to carry luggage up 3 flights of stairs. The room we were given was dirty with peeling and battered walls, smelled of cigarette smoke and mold. The bathroom had broken, leaking fixtures, a broken mirror and cracked glass shelf. The whole hotel is in need of cleaning and painting. The garden does not resemble the pictures. The hotel is located across from a construction site which ran late into the night. I read previous reviews and this hotel does not resemble the reviews. It is way overrated.

Generally an ok hotel. Decent garden with reasonable food. Room was adequate but no better. Felt ripped off by failure to provide airport transfers and staff's poor handling though.

Lovely hotel set in a quiet street off Thamel. No complaints whatsover only compliments, excellent staff , always prepared to go that extra step and also an excellent tour manager

I stayed in a room on the top floor and the shower was cold. The hotel staff told me to run it for a while but it didn't get hot. A staff member came to look at it but did nothing. I suspect he knew all about it but didn't care since guest only stay a couple of nights anyway.

a well hotel located central hotel, worth what we paid. staff helpful and attentive. the only problem was the frequent power cuts but i think think is a general problem with nepal.

The hotel is set in a great location, just 5 mins walk from Thamel, the main tourist area. The rooms are fine, and fairly clean. The best thing about it was the staff, who were friendly and very helpful on all occasions.

A very nice garden where we can have our breakfast. Convenient location. But our room was a bit dirty and the hot shower didn't work at all sadly.

The hotel served its purpose as a place to stay, and then some. I was picked up at the airport by a friendly younger gentleman who navigated through the bumpy roads to the hotel in the darkness with unnerving ease. It was tucked away down an alleyway, which was a nice escape from the hustling streets nearby. This was my first stop in the country upon arrival and I wasn't disappointed. The staff was friendly enough and addressed me by name throughout my stay, and that gave it a greater sense of friendliness and familiarity. They were a little aggressive about getting me to book further travel plans through them even though I had told them more than once throughout our first conversation that my flights and plans were already booked. However, if I hadn't already made the plans in advance, the option to book right there at my home base would probably have been appealing to me. The room was spacious and bathroom was clean with warm running water, which is always welcome after along couple days of travelling. The majority of other travellers there seemed to be middle-aged caucasian couples and families, so if you're a young adventurer looking to meet others like yourself, this may not be your best option. Overall, it was a pleasant stay and I would endorse another travellers decision to check it out!

Although this hotel is very simple, it offers a great experience to travelers The multiple gardens and terraces give you the opportunity to get involved with Kathmandu's atmosphere.. And hotel rooms are just sweet (they might put courtains in the shower) Airport drop/pick up is great Location is good, 4 minutes walk to Thamel Breakfast should be included They help you get tourist guides, driver, or anything you need ..just beware of the overpriced fares you have to pay for this

the hotel is very well placed - quiet location but easily accessible to Tamil. Free collection from the airport. Staff very helpful (and fluent English speakers) - first room was not right for us and they moved us without any fuss. Our deluxe room had a fan (very efficient) and air con, double and single bed, settee, tv. Plumbing a little quirky but bathrooms etc cleaned daily - remember to leave the key with reception though. Fly screens on all windows so no problem with mosquitos. Generator ensures some power during Nepal power cuts. Food was good and not expensive - a good choice for breakfast, and the main meals very nice (recommend the chicken marsala) Booking cars + trips through them seemed to be reasonable value - we had a car for the day to Baktapur - much more comfortable than the taxis. Also arranged the Everest flight + driver for us. All in all I think the hotel good value for money and a nice base to explore Kathmandu and the surrounding area
