Mice. Dirty. Boys that work the kitchen have no idea what the are doing. Nobody is in Kabul on holiday, but this place makes your stay considerably worse. You have been warned.

Yes, I am back here at Park Palace Guest House and again in January. Only this time, our transport was at the airport to pick us after a five hour delay in the flight due to a snowed out runway at Kabul Airport. The parking area was a mess - but that's not the problem!! I was expecting to be... More

I have stayed at park palace alot over the years. In 2009 the UN based many staff at this hotel before the Bahktar GH attack. It then underwent a security update and is now even more secure than prevuiously. The rooms are on the smallish side but everything works and they are comfortable. There is satellite TV, free laundry and... More

The Park Palace Guest House has the front half for NGOs, etc., at $50 per room. The backside is for UN staff and they pay $75 per room. The UN has more security guards. The rooms are like university dorm rooms, though more run down. The internet is slow. The breakfast is boring. The gym is terrible. It's usually dirty... More

If possible avoid Khabul! I stayed in business and went here because it is more discrete and safe than tradional hotels which are frequently attacked by terrorists. The rooms were confortable and clean. The food in the restaurant was terrible. Expect many security check before you can walk inside

It's clean, very safe as security is very tight. It is expensive, but I think you are actually paying for the security it offers rather than comfort/Luxury. You do get breakfast and laundry included. Room consist of the basic 1970s style, en-suit bathroom. Air-con/heater. daily cleaning and change of towel evey 3 days. Breakfast buffet is basic, you have a... More

Got into a taxi (which I was told later was a big risk!!!) when the... More

The Park Palace is well known in the NGO community as a secure location on a out of the way side street. I never felt unsafe during my 3 week stay there. I also traveled with 2 female colleagues and they also felt secure. The grassy inner courtyard is well maintained and offers some nice greenery to an otherwise dusty/dirty... More

I've only stayed at the Mustafa Hotel ($30), so was hoping to get something a bit more luxurious for more money. A little disappointed in the cramped rooms, low doorways, crumbling plaster, leaky plumbing, poor shower. Maybe there are better rooms, but mine (102) sucks. The free internet is nice, and the buffet breakfast and dinner are quite good. All... More
