  1. Annapurna Guest House, Kathmandu

    May 14, 2013 by Arthur

    The Annapurna Guest House in Thamel in Kathmandu is a shit hole roach motel that you couldn’t pay me to stay at again. The sheets are covered is holes and stains. It’s a BYOTP (Bring Your Own Toilet Paper) establishment. The hotel staff spent a lot of time trying to push their “travel advisor” on us but somehow refused to remove the previous tenants’ dirty towel and used soap from our bathroom or provide us with a fresh supply of either.

    Sure it’s only $20 a night but even in that category you need not settle for disgusting accommodations and bad service.

    It’s a shit hole. Stay away.

  2. Shambaling Hotel, Kathmandu

    May 14, 2013 by Arthur

    The Shambaling Hotel in Kathmandu is a peaceful oasis in an otherwise hectic city. The hotel sports clean, well decorated and lovely smelling rooms and extremely friendly and well trained staff. It’s located in a buddhist neighborhood on the east end of the city, walking distance from the Boddha Stupa and quite close to the Pashupatinath Temple Complex and cremation grounds as well as the airport. The neighborhood is a welcome change from the touristy kitsch and clamor of Thamel. The Hotel’s central courtyard is a great place to get some peace and quiet and the restaurant offers decent if not exceptional cuisine. The rooms are very reasonably price with the Standard room coming in between $80 and $100 with all taxes and fees as well as breakfast included.

    We’d highly recommend it.
