First Night in Kathmandu
Had a fine stay with the Holiday Hotel House in Kathmandu. The wi-fi was strong, indoor bathroom with hot water, and easy check-in. Nice, no frills place for a quick stay in Kathmandu.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
No room available as advertised
I got to the hotel after a long hike and motorbike ride only to be told they had no room available. However they offered an alternative in a substandard hotel for the same price and I questioned why, his explanation was that Expedia only paid $16 instead of $21 I paid. After an hour and a half, I was was offered a refund of $14 or settle with the substandard room and service. I'm very disappointed in both Expedia and the holiday for false advertising and will like to demand an explanation.

Thnx to mngment & whole holiday house hotl family
We went there a week ago and we're still thinking about it. The place was very convenient and the hotel clean and incredibly peaceful. The staff were very friendly and food was good. Kathmandu can be a bit overwhelming but the hotel offers a nice environment close to supermarkets, travel agencies, shops and restaurants.
