Every now and then a bed and breakfast earns its place on a shortlist by simply doing the basics very well, Andes House, in Thamel, is one of those. The setting is part of the appeal, a short ride from the main sights, and the location score sits in fair territory because of it. Inside, the rooms are modest, and guests pick out on-site parking and reliable wi-fi as the small things that add up over a stay. It feels lived-in rather than staged, which tends to be the difference between a stay you remember and one you don't. With around 430 reviews on the books and a strong average, the reception from guests does most of the talking here. Reputation has held up across enough stays to mean something. Recent rates have been hovering around €5 a night, which lands as a strong-value option for the city. All told, Andes House reads as one of those Kathmandu addresses worth lining up against the obvious choices before booking.
