Great location and lovely setting - quiet plaza in the middle of the property with good dining, coffee and bars. Heritage property and room layout slightly odd. Huge rooms and comfy bed. WiFi not great in the rooms and TV didn’t work. Being an older property plug points not where you would need them to be. Great property for its history.

Well located hotel with good all round service.

Great location, near to shops and restaurants. The heritage room was a good size. Food and drink was good but could have better wine selection. The Indian food is not freshly cooked.

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.

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.

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 public and outdoor areas were delightful and the staff was incredibly helpful. The rooms were small and very basic. A pervasive pulsing base from a nearby club was a constant all night and morning for the entire 6 nights of my stay.

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 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!

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.

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.

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.

A true Oasis in the heart of Kathmandu. Quiet. Clean with amazing friendly staff. Only issue is promised airport shuttle service. Not true. Visited 2x times & despite email from MGT - was not picked up. Stranded. Also taxi to airport out of pocket & varies (I paid different amount then friend who left latter).
