Kathmandu Guest House by KGH Group

I stayed in the Kathmandu Guest House 30 years ago - a lot has changed both in Kathmandu and at the guest house since then; but the staff were attentive and friendly and it is an oasis in the heart of bustling Thamel.

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

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

Very nice place to stay in the heart of the tourist district (Thamel) but an oasis from the noise and hustle out on the street. Rooftop lounge has a terrific view of the city, especially as the sun goes down.

Fantastic

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.

The garden and the musuem are excellent!

The walls were very thin. I had to ask my neighbours to keep it down at 2:00 am
