Hotel Om's Home

I was planning to stay 2 nights at this hotel, until the hairdryer exploded in my face today whilst I was drying my hair. Left a black soot mark on my hand which I have attached a photo. ( don't have better photo as I ran into toilet in shock and tried to put my forearm in cold water in case I was burnt). Boyfriend snapped photo as I was washing off soot to show the owner. When I complained and asked for a waiver for stay for the 2nd night, he tried to blame me for this by saying this hotel do not provide hair dryers in the first place and that he was doing me a favour providing me a hair dryer. He tried to blame me for destroying his hair dryer. His reasoning was that when he passed me the hair dryer on the 1st night it was working and that the hair dryer exploded because I misused it on the 2nd night. He then tried to charge me 7000 Nepalese ruppees for damaging his hair dryer. I was really upset that he was not even the slightest concerned that I could have been scarred permanently on my face from the "explosion" of the hairdryer. If you still want to stay here and support bad behaviour and give business to people with such values...go ahead... But I hope you wouldn't unless they change their values.. If not, such behaviour continues...

We stayed at the hotel twice either side of a short trek to Kagbeni and Muktinath. Internet, hot water, heating/air-conditioning provision were all very good, as were the staff who were extremely helpful and friendly. Our room was spacious and well-appointed and the bed very comfortable. The food was very good and a good cup off coffee available at the coffee shop which is part of the hotel. The hotel, the main part of which is a traditional Nepalese building, is centrally located in the town. Overall, we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and would certainly stay there again if we visit Jomsom in the future.

This place is around 47 years old and has gained some past credibility since they have had celebrity guests many decades back . While the room is large enough, it’s not very clean and the washroom basin was falling off. The caretaker takes special care of large groups and fair skinned guests and completely ignores small families even if they pay the same room rent. The dinner is extremely overpriced and cannot be afforded by guides / drivers who may accompany the guests . The only positive experience was the Himalayan Cafe attached to the hotel which has wonderful staff and lovely live music and the fact that the open terrace has a great view as to all the hotels on that same lane. There are several other options on that one small street or Kagbeni if one needs to stop over.

Om's homes..omg ! this was probably our best stay in Nepal. Opposite to the huge mountains and airport strip a cute home away from home. Most beautiful architecture, rooms with all basic but important amenities, the best coffee shop with great live music and amazing food. The staffs were so helpful and treated our kid with so much care. We loved our stay here. We honestly wanted yo extend our stay here as it felt soo good. This will always be a must stay place for anyone visiting Nepal.

A wonderful accommodation option in a remote area which is blessed with natural beauty. Also the Jomsom airport is within 2-3 minutes walking distance from the hotel. We stayed in the same room where renowned bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan stayed during the shooting of the film "Khuda Gawah" in the early 90's. The staffs were very nice & they packed breakfast for us even though we were late. This hotel bed has heater facility. But wifi was not upto the mark but it is okay compared to a remote area.

The stay has a amazing view. People are very helpfull and so warm. They go out of the way to support you. It is an outstanding place managed with limited resource. The team was very co.operative. The cheese omlete nad honey potato are something to die for . And the trip is jot fullfilled without a khukri punch they make.
