Kathmandu Guest House by KGH Group

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!

excellent Italian food, right in the thick of things, but quiet. Staff is 5*. Out the back entrance are many bead-buying opportunities, if that is your interest.

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

Beautiful oasis of calm in busy Thamel. Close to everything. Quiet. Interesting and peaceful garden area.

Clean and quiet Staff are amazing Breakfast is excellent

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.

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).

If home is where the heart is, then consider Kathmandu Guest House your Nepali home. The energy is amazing. The Garden was designed by the same architect as Garden of Dreams and it is truly a wonderful dream to explore and settle into the endless, wonderful corners. The staff is warm, authentic, helpful, and a community- dedicated to top-notch hospitality and the well-being of all guests. The rooms are charming, comfortable, with oversized balconies and hot water- always. The food is delicious. Everything will be done to accommodate and please guests, you will find peace in the garden and/or make new like-minded friends, and - in all honesty- it will be hard to leave. A most generous stay that encompasses the best of Nepal. Couldn't recommend enough. An experience. An institution. The best of memories. Authentic Nepali magic. And visit MONA- a museum of Nepali Art on the grounds.

A classic of Thamel, located in the midst of the tourist section, KGH offers a quiet refuge when you need to get out of the chaos. The buffet breakfast was better many we’ve had while doing the standard US chain motels ‘breakfast included’ buffets; real food, not processed. Great coffee too! Stayed here several times since 1991 and it keeps getting better!
