I am quite a frequent traveler and visited close to 30 countries and I am Asian. Although most of the time I do stay at decent 4 star/5 star hotels I wanted to try a different experience in Nepal. And I was recommended to go to Kathmandu Guest House. - First thing, the van was waiting for us at the... more

Originally booked this hotel for initial night in Kathmandu however was so impressed with the location booked it for our return to Kathmandu as well. The price is affordable, not the cheapest in town but not the most expensive either. The location is fantastic right in the centre of Thamel and great bars and restaurants around it. I didn't like... more

Fantastic Service, Fantastic People and Overall Fantastic Location...A total heaven if you coming to NEPAL...This is a haven from the choatic Thamel....Could not have had a better deal...Kathmandu Guest House selected as Asia's 300 Best Hotels by Insight Guides and I think it is worth every accolade...

Paid $25 for a “standard”. I wouldn’t pay more as the “garden view rooms” are identical and don’t really have much of a view. The KGH is the Hilton of backpacker hotels – It has its own shopping mall, hairdresser, concierge, travel agent etc. I have never seen any other gringo hotel like it in the world. The rooms are... more

I've used the KGH often over the past 20 years, and again this year. It has style, and still retains some feel of being in Nepal (unlike most of Thamel, which could now be almost anywhere)The courtyard and garen are still havens of peace compared with the chaos outside. Hotel staff were cheerful and helpful. Our room, ground floor, garden-facing,... more

Have just returned from an enjoyable stay in the KMG. Cant fault it too much except the climb to the fifth floor (65 steps in all!!) for two ladies over 55 and not in great shape was exhausting to say the least. The staff were friendly and obliging but the bedrooms are in dire need of a good paint job... more

First impressions are it's beautiful - nice garden, nice lobby, wifi in lobby, nice-looking restaurant. And that's as far as I got because they were also insanely overbooked, which was obvious from the crowds at check-in and around. Although we had pre-paid for a night booked a month in advance, they bumped us to another hotel owned by the exact... more

It's a good standby--a bit run down, but the location is excellent (right in the heart of Thamel) and it's clean. The hotel reception, cashier, and cleaning staff were courteous and professional, but the restaurant waitstaff didn't know which way was up (to put it politely). There was a whole system to go through and getting a reservation was a... more

An oasis in the centre of the 'action'. This institution is a great choice for more budget concious travellers wanting to be close to all the best sights, temples, bars and superb shopping on offer in Kathmandu. Set in its own grounds, with lovely gardens to relax in. It was certainly the 'meeting point' for everyone travelling in Nepal. Wide... more
