The هوتل هولي هيمالايا is not well known so some of the taxi drivers at the airport may ask for guidance, however, the Thamel Area is well known and once at Thamel the local people are able to give directions to the هوتل هولي هيمالايا. The هوتل هولي هيمالايا is very well located from the point of view of tourism as there are travel agents as well as souvenir shops all around. The staff of the هوتل هولي هيمالايا is polite and helpful. There are two sections of the هوتل هولي هيمالايا, each separated from the other by the narrow lane that runs between them. The room size is small and may cramp two people with heavy luggage. The room provided to me had one cupboard with three hangers, two side tables and a small drawer. There was no furniture to keep any large sized suitcase. The bed was comfortable and provided with four pillows and a light quilt. There was only one three pin plug point in the room and another in the toilet and three two pin plug points in the room The cupboard had a mirror and the room lighting was adequate. The window opened into another building so the curtains had to remain drawn most of the time. The room was provided with complimentary two half litre packaged water bottles for the first day only after which one had to buy bottles. Drinking water was provided free of charge at a common place in the building.
The water supply in the toilet was muddy and despite the هوتل هولي هيمالايا's assurance that it would be clean after sometime, it never happened in the four days of my stay. Hot water was supplied only twice in the day from six to nine in the morning as well as the evening. It was made available on request out of these scheduled timings. The water is hard and the soaps don not give lather easily. Soap and shampoo were provided in the toilet.
There was no provision in the room for making tea or coffee but one could go to the restaurant and have coffee or tea as many times as one desired and the quality of the tea as well as the coffee was very good and available round the clock. There was complimentary breakfast included in the هوتل هولي هيمالايا stay which was of very good quality with enough variety to suit every type of taste.
Overall, the stay was comfortable, enjoyable and economical.
