To be completely honest, I didn’t think that Nepal even offered rooms and suites quite like the Terai Suite at the Shaligram Hotel. I am aware that larger hotel corporations like the Shangri La and the Hilton Hotel offer quality rooms no matter where in the world you are, however I didn’t know that local hotels would offer the same quality if not better. The Terai Suite is a place where I could settle down permanently. It is comforting and spacious with Nepali designed features that still provide you a beautiful and modern space.
Size of Terai Suite
Well, considering this is the biggest hotel room I have ever stayed in, I can quite confidently say that the Terai Suite was extremely spacious and large enough for the entire family. Sleeping 3 comfortably, along with two large couches and 4 large rooms to relax in, the size really couldn’t have been more perfect.
Bed in the Terai Suite
So comfortable! I had my own queen size bed and a spare bed (if I had of had guests staying with me). The pillows were brand new and freshly plumped which I couldn’t use to sleep, but depending on what you like they may have been perfect. The sheets were fresh, clean and white. With two end tables and a plug to charge my phone while I sleep, the bed size and location was wonderful.
Amenities
- Kitchen (fridge, stove, pantry, sink, dishes, cutlery, orange squeeze, purified water, kettle, toaster, etc.)
- Living Room (flat screen tv, pad lock safe, couch, air conditioning, cupboard space, extra sleeping gear)
- Dining Room (table, office desk, multiple plug outlets)
- Morning FREE Newspaper Delivery
- Private Balcony
- And much more!
Bathing Facilities
Your basic hotel facilities were offered in the Terai Suite. A bathtub/shower with comfortable seating area, large mirror and sink space. The water quality was much better in the Terai Suite than it was in the Garden Suite and the JUDDHA-VILLA.
Common Area
I spent the night watching an awful movie on my flat screen tv but was far too comfortable to move. With my spare blankets and pillow I made the perfect ‘movie watching bed’ in front of the tv. I don’t always spend much time in common areas unless I’m really craving some tv or reading (or if it’s where the wifi is), but this space was calling my name!
Overall, I definitely think the Terai Suite is worth a stay while in Nepal. After speaking to other guests in the hotel though, I found out that booking a suite for one month versus one night is much different. I would recommend the Terai Suite to anyone with a larger family looking for some space and/or anyone looking to spend a longer period of time in Patan. It’s actually worth your money to stay for a month in this suite rather than for a week or two.
