Great central location! Fantastic, calm gardens amongst the chaos of Thamal. Abundantly tempting breakfast and lovely staff!

Awkward uncertainty on tipping protocol and giving my business purchase when I am ready. I now realize people are more hard up for cash during the off season.

The fresh air, tranquility and beauty of the courtyard with amenities. ATM located inside the walls. They seem to understand needs of foreign travelers.

Outside on he streets can be a little overwhelming on a Friday evening if you want peace and quiet - though you will find that peace in the KGH garden. I was disappointed that the wifi lost connection in my room when making a group call on line.

Lovely communal garden, good breakfast, secure. I have stayed here occasionally over the past 30 years and it is still pretty good value for money if you want to be in the tourist area.

I’m biased - it’s owned by my friend Shaguni - but it’s an awesome place Momos could be better though

Please do something about the doves (droppings on the balcony).

Air India lost part of our luggage. Staff was very helpful but to no avail. Shame on Air India. Beautiful garden.

The Standard rooms were noticeably more basic — smaller, less clean, and with fewer amenities. If your budget allows, I highly recommend paying a bit extra for a Deluxe room. The upgrade is absolutely worth it for the added comfort.

Kathmandu Guest House is in a fantastic location right in the heart of Thamel, yet it feels completely removed from the chaos thanks to its gated grounds and peaceful courtyard. With restaurants, cafes, and bars set around a green lawn, it’s like an oasis in the middle of the city. I stayed here three times during my trip and experienced both Deluxe and Standard rooms. The Deluxe rooms exceeded my expectations — they were spacious, clean, and well-equipped, making them perfect for relaxing before or after a trek. By Kathmandu standards, this is a premium hotel, but it’s still very affordable compared to many international destinations. The value for money is excellent, especially if you’re looking for comfort and convenience before or after a demanding trek. The staff were wonderful — always helpful and friendly, and ready to assist with anything. I also booked a trekker’s massage at the on-site spa after completing the Manaslu Circuit, and it was exactly what I needed. The quality of the treatment was high and well worth it.

The hotel key was very grimmy and dirty. The bathroom not that clean. The breakfast average with too much dependency and fruit and vegetable which we shouldn't eat. Harb boiled eggs would be nice.

The hotel was like an oasis in the city. Very quiet and clean and a rest from busy Kathmandu.

Some of the standard rooms are dull and noisy. I asked to change it and they did.

Great location, lovely helpful staff

Some standard rooms vary, after being given a dark, noisy and dated standard room, I asked to change to a different one at the same price. I was provided with this. But I would have been disappointed if I'd had to stay in the first one.

Excellent location, helpful polite staff. Has an ATM machine on site, good clean restaurant. Beautiful and peaceful garden area is a wow.

Nice oasis in the middle of town!

Wifi was a bit flaky. Also, we made 4 arrangements with the hotel for transport and days out. Only one of these went smoothly - twice there was no car when we had booked this, and a one-day tour was not really up to scratch.

Classic hotel - very atmospheric. Maybe not the best option for the business that I had to carry out (wifi was a bit flaky when I needed it to work), but as a tourist doing a bit of trekking and looking for nice places to eat, the location in Thamel is second to none.

It is in the center, in the streets of Thamel, but as soon as you enter the hotel, all that noise remains outside and gives you a wonderful garden and peace. The hotel staff was very helpful and very friendly and attentive.
