Honestly, one could find much better place to stay for lower prices. The basic rooms are really very basic. Don't expect too much. Theonly good thing is that there's a really nice garden in the back, and it's quite pleasent to sit there for a breakfast or just for a refreshment. Stuff are generally friendly, and one plus goes for... More

I stayed here last year for my first couple of weeks in Kathmandu, before I'd totally figured out pricing in the city. It's a great place to stay because it's a central institution in Thamel. There are always people coming in and out and there are a few long term guests who are doing interesting things. The staff are incredibly... More

I don't usually write reviews but feel I should do so in this case because the eager anticipation of staying at the Kathmandu Guest House earlier this month quickly dissipated after arrival there. The garden facing room we had booked at full rate over the internet was a subterranean dungeon like room with hardly any light. Furthermore the room wasn't... More

I booked ahead and stayed at the KGH for a couple of nights when I first arrived in Kathmandu. They had a room for me when I arrived although I was downgraded slightly from what I had originally booked. The basic room I was in was very simple and the shared bathrooms on the hall were always clean. However, in... More

When I first read about KGH in my trusty Lonely Planet Guidebook it was described as a “bit of an institution” and this is so true! For us there is nowhere else to stay in Kathmandu, it really is part of the experience! It caters for everyone and has a lovely friendly relaxed vibe. We have stayed at KGH many... More

We were very disappointed with our booking here, We had booked a garden facing room and got a view of back streets. We had to walk outside in the rain to get to this room as well. They finally moved us, the next day to a garden view room after we continued to complain. Both rooms were clean and the... More

I recently stayed in the Kathmandu Guest House for a long weekend with some friends. The accommodation and service far exceeded our expectations. We stayed in the new section of the hotel which was lovely. We visited temples and did a small hike just outside the city (organized by the agent in the hotel). The Kathmandu Guest House is a...

I have stayed at the Kathmandu Guest House several times, and it really just gets better each time. The biggest reason for the stay getting better is the staff and service. I stayed there in 2007, and when I returned in the fall of 2011, all of the staff, even the housekeepers and shopkeepers recognized and welcomed me. It was... More

Stayed hear both before and after our trek. We did stay in the delux room of the new wing so was very satisfied with everything. Beds comfy, bathroom clean with hot water, view with balcony. We had organised our trek through their very helpful travel desk, whom were keen to know how it went on our return. As there were... More
