The hotel 'Hotel Holy Himalaya' in the center of the Thamel district that supported a comfortable trip to Nepal with a fulfilling breakfast and Wi-Fi is like this

I had the opportunity to go to Nepal, and when I entrusted the arrangements to a person who often goes there, the hotel that took me was ' Hotel Holy Himalaya '. The inn is located in a particularly crowded area in the Thamel district, which is the downtown area of Kathmandu.

Holy Himalaya

The location of the hotel is around here. At the time of writing the article, Google Maps shows an icon on the right side of the alley, but it is actually on the left side. The building on the right side of the alley where the icon is displayed used to be Hotel Holy Himalaya, but it seems that the number of guests has decreased due to the influence of Corona and the building has been sold.


Arrived on site. The alley in front of the hotel is just wide enough for cars to pass each other. Also, you can't drive through the south side.

The room I stayed in was 'Super Deluxe' with a single bed and a double bed, the same as the one posted on the top of the official website.

The key looks like this.

A TV is mounted on the wall opposite the bed. Since the TV and the tuner are separate, I was a little confused about the operation at first.

The outlet looks like this.

I forgot to take a picture of an empty outlet at the hotel, so I'll post a picture taken at another location for reference, but the shape is like this.

The power plug used in Nepal is the C type, which has two round rods with a slightly wider spacing. For this reason, such a conversion plug is prepared in advance.

At first, I used this at the hotel, but I lost the weight of the conversion plug and it fell out of the outlet.

When I checked it carefully, it was an outlet that can be used without problems even with the A type used in Japan. In addition, since the voltage is 220 V, which is higher than the Japanese household voltage of 100 V, please make sure that the adapter has a notation such as '100 V-240 V'. Please note that some dryers do not support voltage.

There are two chairs by the window.

A plastic bottle of water and a kettle were prepared on the table. It is difficult to drink tap water in Nepal.

The room has such a large closet at the entrance and in the back. There is no such thing as a safe.

Next to the closet is the entrance to the bath and toilet.

It is like this when closing the door. I think it depends on the room, but the door was a little badly set up, so the latch didn't work well and it opened smoothly, so it was essential to lock it when using it.

The toilet and washbasin look like this. There is

For the toilet, the separate button above the tank is the wash button. Nothing was written, but the left was large and the right was small. In addition, perhaps because the water fills up slowly in the tank, the force of the water is sometimes very weak, and there were times when we relied on the bidet shower for cleaning. The bidet shower is directly connected to the faucet, so it can always be used with strong force.

There is a bathtub and a shower in the back, and a ventilation fan is also attached.

A one-handle type lever that was difficult to adjust the temperature. When you pull it toward you, water comes out, and you can adjust the temperature by tilting it to the left or right. Hot water on the left, water on the right, and the right temperature was about to tilt slightly to the left. In addition, it seems that hot water comes out for about 5 minutes at a time, and when I tried to use the shower after lightly filling the bathtub with hot water, the hot water stopped coming out as soon as I started using the shower. For a quick shower, there was no problem with using the shower after waking up and using it lightly, then washing my head and getting dressed after finishing my meal. It is unknown how long it will take before the next hot water is available when the hot water runs out.

Three pots placed in one corner. The one on the left contains shampoo literally as 'SHAMPOO', but the other two were also shampoos. It seems something like that.

Soap wrapped in paper on the washbasin.

You can see the hotel across the street from the window. It seems that this was originally the same group as Hotel Holy Himalaya, but now the dismantling work was underway.

Although I didn't watch the construction all the time, the work started at 6:00 in the morning and continued until around 21:00 at night.

On the first floor, the back of the lobby is the cafeteria.

Meals are buffet style. 6 to 8 types of main side dishes change daily.

There is also yogurt and cereal.

Multiple types of bread and cakes.

There are four types of fruit: watermelon, papaya, apple, and banana.

I tried to stack it.

They also serve coffee or tea separately. When I asked for coffee, it came with a latte art with a heart mark.

This was another day's breakfast, with a boiled egg.

You can eat enough to fill you up in the morning.

The view from the rooftop is like this. Looking west from the hotel.

You can clearly see that it is surrounded by mountains.

Free Wi-Fi is available in the hotel. When I measured the speed with Fast.com, it was actually 11 Mbps. I didn't feel any problem if it was just for e-mail, SNS, and watching short videos on YouTube. Note that this measurement was taken late at night, so other times may be different.

The result of measurement using Nepal Telecom's SIM at the same location was 6.2 Mbps.

The accommodation fee is 50 dollars (about 7000 yen) to 65 dollars (about 8700 yen) for this Super Deluxe, 45 dollars (about 6000 yen) to 65 dollars (about 8700 yen) for Deluxe, and 35 dollars (about 4700 yen) for Standard. ~ $ 45 (about 6000 yen).

We stayed for a few days and found the staff very attentive and comfortable. In addition, if you walk down the alley from the hotel for 3 minutes, you will come to a street lined with shops on both sides of the road, and the market will take less than 30 minutes, so you can enjoy a fulfilling shopping experience.
