Kathmandu became a party town, so it is very noisy during the night. And the standard rooms should be renovated, in particular the bath room was dirty. However when you just stay one night after a trekking, the room is fine, but not for a longer period of time.

The garden is amazing and very convenient to take a break. There is a coffeebar, restaurant and the bar is new and very comfortable when you stay in KGH for a longer period of time.

A fantastic hotel to start or end a trip to Nepal from. Highly recommend.

A few rooms at the KGH back onto noisy alleys, which can disturb sleep early in the morning. Choose your room wisely, if you can.

I've been staying here for 30 years, through many changes. Many of the same staff that worked at the KGH when I first visited are still there, and there thoughtfulness hasn't diminished. And the garden is still a refuge from busy Thamel.

The garden and the rooms are just beautiful, and it’s just such a unique and relaxing experience despite being in the middle of Thamel. The staff is very lovely and helpful too.

The main drawback was the small room size. And maybe it's just that I selected a small room but my wife and I were pretty cramped. The bathroom was small also and the showerhead was just on one wall with a curtain so water went everywhere. I had been to Kathmandu many times years ago and really enjoyed the Thamel area. However, now it so so congested and crowded it really wasn't pleasant. I think next time I go Ill stay in Patan.

The staff at the KGH were fantastic. Always friendly and willing to help. The travel desk at the hotel helped us book a driver and guide to tour Kathmandu. Both were exceptional. The outdoor garden and open air bar were wonderful.

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
