Not bad, but nothing to brag about

3.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Apr 1, 2012
As this was our first place we went to while in Nepal, we had nothing to compare it to. Now that we do, I have to say the place is fine, but in no way impressive in comparison to any other place we stayed in in Nepal. I believe we paid about 1000 rupees (12 US dollars) a night, which is a lot for what we received.

Pros: Free pick-up from the airport, generally friendly staff, stored our luggage for free while we went on a 6 day trek, internet down in the tiny lobby, hot water (though not the first day....you may have to ask/complain if it's not working for you).

Cons: Fairly dingy room (though decently clean), unkempt bathroom (as in damp, dirty, toilet seat broken, etc.), location a bit sketchy at the end of a poorly lit alley in a corner of Thamel. Oh and also, there's a club or something nearby that thumps out loud and horribly bass-driven music well into the night.

Overall, our experience at Silver Home wasn't terrible, thus the average 3-star rating. However, if you look at some of our other reviews, you'll see that there are various different places in Thamel for a similar price that are a bit of an improvement.

Hope this helps.

I was not seem to be in heart of kathmandu Thamel, while staying at this hotel.

This town is the merrymaking for a tourist every night. In daytime, stress piles up by the noise of a motorcycle and the car. But That noise is quiet incredibly when I enter the one step room because this hotel is located at the end of the small path of Thamel.
This quietness let my heart feel relieved.

But the only negative point is that it is slightly difficult to find this hotel for the first visitor. Therefore, at the reception, staff receives the telephone from a tourist looking for this hotel frequently. To tell a truth, staff comes to pick you up by car to an airport at arrival time if visiter make a reservation beforehand.

The room is not luxurious, but the minimum thing is prepared. In the evidence, that Most of the hotel guests are a student and young couples.
It is a very good hotel for the tourist of the cost performance serious consideration.
Calm staff heal the fatigue of the trip of the tourist, but it never occurs that they disturb me.
I was comfortable that that they judged an action after watching guest well.

And...during a stay at this hotel., I did not feel inconvenience for neither shopping nor sightseeing at all because it is located in the central part of the tourist area.
In addition, the travel desk is installed in the hotel. if guest want to go the local tour,
they can talk to staff about it.

almost of tourist spend for a few days again once in this hotel like a their sweet home before leaving Nepal even if the guest who stayed at this hotel goes to other cities for sightseeing afterwards. The high repeat rate of this hotel is proof of the high hospitality of this hotel.

By good service, kindness, and joke of staff, in this hotel, I made a memory as big as the Himalaya.In addition, I was able to meet who have full of humor, pure patriotism ,and a clean heart there.

I strongly recommend this hotel to the visitor of the young generation.

{YOgi} the manager of the Hotel who is one of the good man i have ever mate in Nepal friendly behavior and helpful any time as needed. have some good memories when Yogi had took out for the drinks was so fun, was local place which is most interesting things for the foreigners to know about the locality.

{POKHARA} was unexplainable and the weather was really nice really i remember when i was informed by Yogi while i was on the car way to hotel after leave Airport this is PashupatiNath's Temple and i had pray{Namaste}, now that might be i am blessed by the god {Shiva}. and then{Chitwan National Park} Elephant riding saw many animals&elephant bath at the river was excellent. was all organized by Hotel manager{YOGI} thanks for the accommodation&safe tour willing to see you again in NEPAL.

One of the biggest concerns with worldwide travel would be the hassle and/or confusion involved with transits, check-ins, visas, arranged tours, etc. With Hotel Silver Home, our rooms were booked via email and they were as good as their word. The airport pick up was there upon arrival and everything went smoothly from there. The rooms may appear dated, but they are kept clean (I spilled some moisturizer on the carpet, cleaned it up with tissue, and the tissue came up spotless, apart from the moisturizer!) The hotel staff were extremely accommodating and will do their utmost best to ensure your satisfaction. Yogi (manager), Raj (tour manager) and their driver even took me out to a local bbq place outside of Kathmandu to sample their local cuisine on my last night there. Good times!

The tour agency linked to the hotel (mosaic tours) was also great. Thanks to their advice and bookings, we had a wonderful value for money 7 day tour of Nepal. Can't wait to return in my next holiday!

The hotel is right in the middle of the main tourist section of Kathmandu and the staff are really great. It seems that the rooms have just been renovated and as hotels in the area go, personally i think the service is very good and the price is great considering the location. The airport pickup is also a plus but the best thing is probably the staff, esspecially Yogesh who went beyond the usual hotel level of service and actually took me out and showed me places in the city, which as a solo backpacker is fantastic! its always nice to meet such friendly people who are local and get to know the city from the inside.
