Hotel Osho Home Pvt Ltd. — Hotel in Kathmandu Metropolitan City

We stayed at the Osho Hotel from Oct 23rd until the 24th during our honeymoon before starting our trek to Everest Base Camp. Everything was to be expected when we arrived and we were happy to be there. Staff were friendly and helpful because almost everything was closed during Daishin. Location was great and close to everything. Our room was not super clean (dead cockroach and nail clippings on ground) but we didn't care about it too much. We left our luggage at the hotel storage while we hiked for 12 days and decided to switch to a nicer hotel when we returned. Everything was great up to this point.

This is the part where we are VERY disappointed and not impressed with the Ohso Hotel. I even reached out via email before posting this review to hear the hotel out but never heard anything back. We came back from our trek, grabbed our luggage and headed to the new hotel. Everything was great, we were super tired from our trek and unfortunately caught Khumbu cough so we spent the day resting at the new hotel. We pulled out our laptop (an older Dell that we didn't bring trekking with us) to look at wedding photos that came in during our trek and our laptop was acting super sketchy and we had to factory reset it to start. Naively we didn't think much of it and enjoyed our last couple days in Kathmandu. When we got to the airport and I opened my headphones case to listen to some music on the flight, I realized that my Bose headphones were replaced with very cheap, broken headphones that weren't even mine but in the same pouch I had kept mine in... Suddenly it clicked that someone had gone into our bags and swapped my headphones with cheap knock-offs and tampered with our laptop so much (after some research about the error named "bitlocker" we are guessing it was caused from trying the password too many times) that we had to factory reset it. It's taken a few days to process what happened and to try to pinpoint where this happened so we aren't unfairly blaming Ohso Hotel. However, the only place and time this could have been done was while our bags were in storage at the Ohso Hotel and there's no other place this could have happened as we had to put luggage with us every other day we weren't leaving our luggage in storage. We thought our belongings were safe but it's disgusting to think someone took advantage of this while we were hiking. Would NOT recommend...

I lived my life in Canada, USA and Australia. Travelling is my passion. I have been to Nepal several times and visited besides Kathmandu, Pokhara, Chitwan, Nepalgunj, Surkhet, Dullu etc and obviously have stayed at multiple hotels. In Thamel Kathmandu I have stayed in few very hotels but Hotel Osho is where I felt at home. This is my come back to this hotel for good reasons which is hard to find in Thamel. The location is the best and closest to everything in a quiet street. The hotel is very clean with helpful friendly staff. House keeping is excellent. Perfect terrace to relax comparing to many other hotels. Warm heated reception with first class facilities. Please contact Bishnu and he resembles his given name lord Vishnu, he solves all your problems. A friendliest hotel client representative I have ever met in Nepal. He was so open with pricing and kept his words with no strings attached etc eg tax .He even bought a digital scale to weigh my luggage. The facility does not have a lift service but the staff takes care of the luggage. I strongly advise that don’t waste your time searching just book Osho and try try believe me you will not regret. For sure I will return again as it is my second home when I am in Kathmandu, for this stay of 5 weeks still...

Everything was pretty decent until the hotel wrote a fake review of my stay! They gave themselves a 10... Here is the real review:||It's a budget hotel in a relatively quiet street in the center of Thamel. The room was a bit dated, but clean and comfortable enough. It was on the 4th floor- no elevator, however, the kind staff raced up with our suitcases. They offered to move us the next day, but we decided it was good prep for our trek. Breakfast was ok, but they could never get the order right.||After we checked out, I got the prompt from Booking.com, only to find I had already written a fantastic review! Don't be fooled by the great reviews like I was. There are a million other budget places to stay in Thamel and for a few $ more, much nicer and certainly...
