HYATT REGENCY KATHMANDU · Resort Tour & Review · Kathmandu, Nepal 🇳🇵 Crazy Value!

[@jyungsam]

As a Singaporean Buddhist, We take pilgrimage tour to Nepal and HYATT has been our number 1 choice for stays for 10 years. The hotel is so close to Boudha main stupa. Perfect for Dharma practitioners and pilgrims. Plus people from Himalayas - Tibetans, Newars, Sherpas, Tamang, Dolpa and Gurung make that locality very special.

Its our pride to get featured in geneune content Like yours, Lots of love from Nepal , Thank you..

[@tfft]

Appreciate that! Such a beautiful country.

[@thomasniraula3364]

to feature in a KZbin vlog video has started being a pride thing for our nation? appreciation for the vlogger

[@chandrabhujel9155]

ONE of the most beautiful country in the world.thank you for visiting beautiful my country Nepal.

[@mondabuddhi]

Hi Kevin! I stayed in this hotel in 2009 with my family, and I am absolutely stunned how they managed to maintain the grounds, lobby, and restaurant so well after all these years, and the rooms as well. In that part of the world, it's really a struggle to do so.

[@tfft]

Wholly agree with that. It's wildly inconsistent which is why this one remains such a gem!

[@paulhammond7294]

I am thoroughly enjoying the Kangaroo Route reports. As for this hotel update, the rate for this resort is mind-blowing.

[@tfft]

Sure is!

[@idl9ave419]

Stayed here in 2014, and loved this hotel and its excellent restaurant. There is a path from the rear of the hotel to the Boudanath Stupa in the Tibetan neighborhood - wonderful to have this spiritual enclave so close by. There is a lot to see in Kathmandu - several temple districts, the area at a tributary of the Ganges where cremations occur, a monkey refuge on a hilltop, and the "Kumari Gar", where the Nepalese girl venerated (for a few years) as a "living goddess" resides. Kathmandu is a short flight from Delhi or Varanasi, and well worth a visit even if you aren't going onward to the mountains.

[@tfft]

Thanks for sharing ✈️

[@paulsouthgate7373]

Loved this review and would plan to stay here in the future. The music you chose added a lot to the video. As your choices often do. Thanks

[@tfft]

Appreciate that!

[@andreasplus]

Hi Kevin, thanks for taking the time to do this review...I'll put it on my list to stay in the near future...luv d jogging track!

[@tfft]

Thanks very much 🙏🏻

[@killerqueen9298]

Hi Kevin. It's me again. Post Script to my last comment on this review. I've just watched it again and paid a little more attention to it. You have certainly whetted my appitite for this hotel. I will probably stay here in 2027 and add a couple of day before my trek, acouple after my trek and a couple after my visit to Chitwan. It looks and sounds absolutely fabulous. You certainly do have a super job. Don't ever stop. Thank you🙃🙂❤

[@Herxh428]

90% people including me cannot afford to stay in hyaat . Thanks to these KZbinr for giving us experience of this thing 😊 Edit : Most people are foreigners so they can afford but average middle class nepali cannot afford this 😢

[@DeniseSommerRoque]

Amazing value for money for the beautiful setting and comfort. We just stayed for 1 night in an awful 4**** hotel in The Netherlands next to the highway to the tune of €200,- excluding breakfast…. Can’t wait to return to the Far East! Thank you for the review 🙏🏼🤩

[@tfft]

Yeah western Europe prices are still insane. Yesterday I booked an interior single room at an Ibis in Madrid simply becuase I refuse to spend $300+ on four star hotels lol.

[@karlp8484]

The best value hotel I've ever seen, you can pay more for a backpacker hostel in Australia. Other reviews saying the rooms are "dated" is bizarre, quality furnishings, everything works. Would they call the Dorchester dated?

[@tfft]

If there's one thing I've learned in my short time on KZbin, it is that people will say literally everything lol.

[@avimufcns]

Great to see you in Nepal!

[@gyanbanks74]

I have seen hotels around South Asia and this one is at par with the best in the world!

[@nickflintoff8077]

Urgh, now I’m going to have to fork out to visit Kathmandu to check out this hotel (and a new city and country). Got a few Hyatt points to play with so may be able to get a hotel freebie at least.

[@killerqueen9298]

Hi. You will not be disappointed with Kathmandu. I am planning my 5th visit in 2027 to celebrate my 80th birthday. I haven't stayed at this hotel but have stayed at the Shangri La 3 times and Kathmandu Guest House twice. Had to stay at KGH after an expedition because UN had taken over Shangri La hotel as a base after the 2015 earthquake.

[@tfft]

Enjoy your trip 🗺️

[@killerqueen9298]

@@tfft Thanks

[@lennyandcarl23]

Absolutely loving the Kangaroo route series! As an Australian, my parents flew Qantas to Europe during the days of 4-5 stops (Singapore, Bahrain, Rome, one other I forget, London), yet these days we're lucky to do one stop (and almost direct soon). Keep up the great work! My one question was regarding water safety, given Nepal's ongoing issues. Was the water at the property safe to drink, or was it bottled only?

[@Everythinghasprosandcons]

Thanks for sharing this video. It was nostalgic to watch this video about the hotel. I was working there some 23-24 years ago as part of the construction management team. It took quite a bit of time to build it due to various reasons. I want to stay there nyself someday. It seems like a nice and reasonable hotel.

[@AZ-xj8ee]

As always a great review. If I may make one quick comment about the format Kevin: the added interruptions to your recent videos (subscribe, follow this series , etc) do feel like they throw off the momentum. If I changed one thing, I would either keep them at the beginning or end.

[@JordCA]

I'm ok with it. He usually places it at the end of the "cold opening" . It feels like its in the right place, and is a good reminder. Because I like his videos a lot, I hit like at the beginning to get it out of the way. This channel is worth supporting.

[@tfft]

Yes I can appreciate that. I’ll say that in shorter videos like this one, it inevitably feels more interruptive… but I’d be lying if I said that wasn’t kinda the point of putting it in the middle. More eyes and ears = more subscribers = more future videos.

[@greensky5]

19 Oct 12:02 GMT: FIRST COMMENT!!!! LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK 🎉🎉

[@mkho0505]

the property looks gorgeous. 75 USD is a good price!

[@JordCA]

Beautiful video, short but lovely. Reminded me of my first visit to India (Which I know is a different country ;-)...before anyone chimes in.

[@tfft]

I know you knew, but you’re wise to preclude the trolling haha.

[@prayashgiria]

Hyatt KTM is a local legend of sorts, still highly regarded among regular visitors and city elite. However, the nicest hotel in town atleast IMO is Dwarika’s - stunner of a place!

[@tfft]

[@spinalcrackerbox]

Ah! Finally, it's here ❤️ I may be the only that's been eagerly awaiting this review for months. I have walked by the edge of this property to the Boudha Buddhist enclave many times, wondering what the sprawling grounds looked like, but its somewhat mediocre reviews didn't entice me. But oh my, I love everything about it. Thanks for the introduction, Kevin.

One of the best hotel in Kathmandu.

[@irfansiddiqui5726]

Hi Kevin, after watching your video, I booked a visit here in February. If you took a helicopter tour to Mt. Everest, could you possibly mention the name of the tour company?

[@tfft]

If I took a helicopter tour, I assure you there would be a video about it lol

[@janjantimalsina1465]

Awesome

[@charliebrown5]

Thank You ✈️

[@tenzinpaldon6094]

We were there last year stayed the building is nice but the some people who work there are unprofessional or not very nice. Bad experience with some people.

[@IndianGeek5589]

But isn't the value argument highly dependent on locale? Like won't a hotel in Nepal obviously be cheaper than an equivalent one in New York or Paris?

[@tfft]

Of course and my comments are (always) relative to that. Same random day next April: Hyatt Regency Kathmandu: 5000 Hyatt Points = $110 Hilton Kathmandu: 30000 Hilton Points = $180 Kathmandu Marriott: 39000 Bonvoy Points = $273

Hi Kevin. Thanks for awakening some fabulous and happy memories of KTM. And thanks for a recommending another hotel there. I tend to stay at the Shangri La. Thanks once again

I'd rather have dated than a bang up to date premium IT work with a touch phone that doesn't work... As you get older you appreciate a rotary dial phone more and more (even though that is a button pess one). Nostalgia, it ain't what is used to be!

[@tfft]

I’m not looking for a rotary persay, but yes I agree haha.

[@reviewdarijepang318]

Dated bathroom 🚽 but still ok. 👍 😅

It is, but the only difference between that bathroom and a new one is the color of the stone :)

Why did you skip Dhaka, Bangladesh? You never travelled over there and this kangaroo series was your opportunity. If you can go to Kolkata, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka so why not Bangladesh as it was close to those countries you visited?

[@tfft]

I mean, "skip" is an odd word in this context. Rather than being a bit judgy, perhaps you could just ask, "Hey Kevin, do you have plans to visit Bangladesh?"... to which I would reply, "Yes." Not to mention Dhaka was never a part of the Kangaroo Route service lol

[@aaronadam4747]

[@aa6eheia156]

​@@aaronadam4747 Nepal is always a welcoming country while Bangladesh in last few months have been going through huge political crisis along with rise of Islamic extremism.

[@tfft]

You're an insufferable one aren't ya? Watch my videos, I explained in detail why I was in Nepal. Lose the attitude or your comments might vanish.

[@aaronadam4747]

@tfft Please don't mind that it seems you are very angry with me. The fact of the matter is that Bangladesh is the least traveled place for foreign tourists in the world so it is obvious that you would not be excited to go there. What I meant was that since you were in Kolkata and Kathmandu, Dhaka was just 1 hour flight away (ideal for a brief layover at Dhaka airport Le Meridien hotel) and you could have tried Biman, US Bangla, Himalaya Airlines or even Drukair which has 5th freedom flights (BKK-DAC). Anyways you can make up for it for a full Bangladesh series featuring hotel and flight reviews in your future videos. Sorry for being very annoying. Forgive me.
