Relax after your h
Not for tourist on the way in as it is not very central but a great place to relax after you have done your trekking. Fab pool and good gym in a tranquil garden setting. Good varied breakfast but other meals a bit pricey. Some good cheaper restaurants nearby.

After nearly a year, I came back to Hotel Himalaya to discover many minor improvement to the hotel. Security improved in card access lift and doorway, a renovated lounge, enlarged outdoor dining, I like it. The room is still clear though not yet renovated. Reception is reasonable. Overall I still enjoyed my stay with my colleague.

Overall the photos are pretty dated . The room had wires taped together to the lamps . The main light had no way to turn off in hallway if you need to keep electricity on per say to charge your phone . The food was good . But there was a very pushy food worker or manager that tried on two occasions to overcharge me by an exorbitant amount. Like the coffee I ordered was 500 nrp and he tried to charge me 5000 nrp and even was hovering over me with my purse open . I have travelled a lot and this was a huge red flag . I would not return here . The bedroom was comfortable and the patio was nice. But overall the I expected better from something they rate as 5 stars .

Remains reliable
I've been staying here on visits for the past five years and the experience has always been a good one. I had a small suite located at a corner of the building and could see the Himalayas out both windows whenever the weather was clear enough. Bed was comfortable and the large desk was a pleasure to use. Wi-fi was strong and internet connection was fast. Hotel restaurant remains a good choice, although somewhat expensive by Nepalese standards. On the other hand I have never gotten sick from eating there and that has some value as well. Certainly will plan to stay here again on my next trip to Katmandu.
