Hoteliers tend to be more critical of other hotels when we travel, and at the same time, are always on the lookout for new ideas from other hotels. I went to Kathmandu with 2 other friends - one a hotelier, and the other a banker. Well, imagine our astonishment when we saw our room door lock and hotel safe.
This is the 'hotel safe' located at the reception. We were asked to place our valuables inside the envelope, and just sign across the sealed flap. After which, the envelope was locked inside the Manager's office. We really learnt the concept of 'Trust' quickly!
Our room door lock was just as hilarious. I had to hold back my laughter when we saw it for the first time as the poor hotel staff just climbed 3 flights of stairs with our luggage to show us to our rooms.
Guess we really have to travel to appreciate what we have back home. But overall, it was a nice hotel and the manager and staff were really friendly. In fact, the manager actually took time out to walk with us and showed us all the nearby sights in the city.
