Whilst the public areas are clean and tidy, my room was run down and was dusty and dirty in places Toilet TV box. Shower needs descaling as water does not run well. Staff are well trained to be attentive to guests. All needs can be met without leaving the complex if your interested in that can of stay in Nepal.

This hotel is in the busy Tahmel shopping street, but it is exclusive and quiet, and very convenient to go around. We enjoyed the stay.

We were amazed when we walk in to lobby and saw the outdoor dining area and courtyards but our happiness ended when we enter the room. The room smell so dump, the rug/mat is dirty like never cleaned for years same as the lobby desk floor mat. The towels were literally not in useable condition. Bed linens smell so bad.The shower head , faucet all are dirty lots of marks/dirt. The chicken curry we had taste like butter chicken also dal is tasteless.Evening live music is nice touch but if the artists has mike/speaker and connected to whole courtyard speaker it will creat nice ambience. Breakfast service staff talks so loudly that I heard what they had in their dinner last night no professionalism. The stay was way below than what we expect. Only good things is the lady who escort us to room during check-in was very professional and the courtyard sitting areas with bonfire adds nice atmosphere.

The Kathmandu Guesthouse is the first Guesthouse in Kathmandu. Its rich history only adds to the atmosphere of the place. The service is always excellent. The Staff is always professional and ready to assist you with any questions or problems you may have. The rooms are always clean and very comfortable. The food is outstanding. The service is five star. I have stayed here many times during my seven visits to Nepal. The Kathmandu Guesthouse is an experience of exceptional hospitality and excellence!

Ok, this is hard to write because it is a beautiful property! Character in abundance ! Well trained staff ! Great welcome and my room was excellent perceived value for money ! Food for lunch and dinner was served fresh and at the correct temperature! Now the negatives ! My room was terribly noisy through badly fitting windows with zero insulation between room walls and the ceiling ! All the early evening was clip clop of people walking ! Not other fault of either the people just poor design with the floorings used and the echo off the walls Then between 1am and 3am a large party of people sounded like 20-30 arrived and made there ways to there rooms with suitcases clanking and raised voices and slamming doors ! Now whenever I have checked in at those hours in other properties I was reminded to be quiet and respect the other guests ! In lots of oversea hotels I was given a card in my language to make sure I understood ! So I maybe got 3 hours sleep as I had a 6am check out to catch my flight out of country ! I truly home when you perform another renovation of the rooms you consider noise insulation! Will I be back ! Yes I will as your property was outstanding in the visual sense! Hopefully the nighttime people checking are more respectfull! Thank you Gavin young

A guest house full of history, character & charm.

It would be nice to have had a hair dryer in the room or bathroom. Also, 1 outer, small top window would not completely close so some of the warmth was lost & the sounds of the streets entered the room.

I stayed here for 2 nights before and 1 night after a trekking expedition. It’s my first time in Kathmandu, so nothing to compare it to, but nice and convenient in the middle of Thamel. Hotel is pretty clean, the staff are really helpful. I was able to leave a bag at the hotel whilst away trekking and the staff booked a taxi to the airport for me.

The property has a wonderful garden where all can share, it is centrally located in Thamel, and the hotel is gated at both ends giving a sense of great security. I am at the room which can be improved to give it a modern facility. Overall it has a much better condition than many hotels in Thamel

The original KGH is now a distant memory

Good old KGH remains my favourite place in Kathmandu. It went through an overdue renovation recently and unfortunately it lost a bit of its soul in the process. What remains though is a great hotel, fantastic location, nice rooms and the garden remains a great meeting and dining place.
