    Nothing

    The fact that overall management was in the hands of a senior nun meant the place was well run and spotlessly clean.

    Dondrub Guest House is my chosen "home away from home" when I am in Kathmandu. It is serene, friendly, clean, and the people are wonderful. The rooms are simple and very nice--just what I was looking for. I have met some fascinating people amongst the guests and have made some nice friends. Thank you!!!

    There is nothing not to like!

    I am SO appreciative to have found Dondrub Guest House. It is like both a jewel and an oasis. The people there are so kind and attentive. As a solo traveler, I felt very at home and safe. I made new friends also. The room is cozy and tidy, the food nutritious and delicious. It is located in a quiet area that is a short walk to the Boudha Stupa. I plan another stay there and highly recommend Dondrub Guest House! Thank you!

    The hotel itself is located in a residential community, and there are frequent noises from cars, children and stray dogs from day to night.

    The room and toilet were clean and odorless, the mattress was firm enough, and the pillowcases and sheets were so white that I couldn't bear to dirty them! Breakfast was provided and nutritionally balanced. The hotel itself was clean and tidy, with a Buddhist temple and a small park for meditation and walking. It was about a ten-minute walk from the Mangwan Pagoda. I would choose this accommodation next time.The most important thing is that the hotel has air conditioning, so you don't have to worry about being overheated in the summer.

    Neighbourhood dogs can be noisy.

    Excellent value for money. Helpful staff. Strong hot water shower. IF this Guesthouse weren’t owned by the Nunnery next door and staying here helps fund them, I would gate-keep this info to ensure easy room availability in the future!

    It was a little further from Boudha stupa than we thought when we booking - this obviously our mistake and while we didn’t mind the walk, the narrow street up to the guest house could be a bit dark

    Friendly staff, good breakfast, relatively quiet for Boudha. The rooms are simple but comfortable, with great beds and warm duvets. Shower always had hot water.

    The location is great, around 10 mins walking distance to Stupa. The staffs are so helpful because my iphone' s charger had some problems, one staff helped a lot to fix it, like borrowing me charger or provide a sim card stick. The hostel is running by a monastery. Great energy and great compassion that you can feel.

    Every morning waking up to the sound of the Buddhist rituals, followed by the beautiful sight of the students singing before starting the day. That was the highlight of my stay. That, in addition to the well cleaned environment, excellent and diverse buffet breakfast every morning and extremely nice and helpful staff.
