Location, its slightly away from the busy Thamel road therefore its not so noisy. Value for money for the room that I stayed. Breakfast is suberp, low-cost and very good and on roof top, very good view of Kathmandu.

So much to like about Avalon Home -- the owner is incredibly helpful and the rest of the employees are amazing too, the food within the restaurant is good, it&'s in a amazing location in a noiseless alley at one end of Thamel that means it&'s easy to get anywhere but noiseless enough to sleep at night. The room was reasonably basic but nice and clean, and having a beer on the rooftop as the sun goes down really is one of life&'s little pleasures. It&'s worth arranging an airport pickup by email soon after you&'ve booked -- it&'s unlikely to be any more expensive than bargaining with the taxi cab drivers, and a lot less hassle.

I arranged airport pick-up through e-mail. The owner Saput personally fetched me at the airport, and my flight was delayed for about an hour! The employees of the guesthouse were all very friendly and helpful and I couldn&'t ask for more. There is free breakfast for a single room and it was a huge meal. Coffee, fruit juice, muesli, eggs, toast, jam and butter. There is warm water all of the time even though there were lots of power cut-off during that time (late winter). I left some of my stuff inside the guesthouse during trekking and only came back right after 3 weeks. I think the very best component of the guesthouse aside from the employees is the rooftop. I always discover myself spending my late afternoons in there watching the views of the city and the sunset.

Avalon Home is a welcome refuge from the hustle and bustle of Thamel. Situated a two minute&'s walk from the central shopping location of the tourist-oriented streets, it presents clean rooms and toilets, a fine, basic breakfast, and a great view of the city from the rooftop terrace. From the initial moment of being welcomed at the airport (arranged over email right after booking through hostelbookers), I have been in good hands. The staff are exceptionally kind and helpful. Saput, the gentle and mild-mannered proprietor, is an experienced trekking and tourism guide, who generously presents his wealth of knowledge to guests, helping them to create the most of their stay in Nepal, given their interests. In my case, he gave me extensive advice regarding preparation for a trek of the Everest Base Camp circuit, and arranged my flight and porter bookings with his established connections. I ended up staying here longer than I initially planned and this was seamless to arrange. I extremely recommend staying here.
