I really hated my stay here. The only reason I stayed for more than a night was because I had a lot of luggage that I didn't feel like moving. The hotel is close to the action of Thamel, but in a strange location. If you're walking back after 10:30 you'll be accosted by no less than 3 prostitutes. Its... More

I was very disappointed with the way in which the employees I met conducted themselves and their business. Looking to stay more than 3 weeks, I would have loved it if this place had even been ok, but it is one of the worst places I've ever been to in the world. I was given the room at the front,... More

I would say that my stay at RP Guesthouse was overall OK, but not excellent. RP Guesthouse has friendly staff who help you well. There are a couple of nice balconies and the rooms are reasonable if you would just like to stay for a couple of days. The place is located in a small side street of Thamel and... More

My friend and I had our wonderful holiday in Nepal. At first we thank to Red Planet Guest House who responded our email very well and fast. As the price which they offered we thought that it would be very basic guest house. But once we were there we were really surprised with their services. In Katmandu there was power... More

The room price was pretty good with central location in Thamel. It's not right on the main street, but the area is still fairly noisy at night from bars in the area. The hot water is just from a sun-warmed tank on the roof, so unless you have excellent timing you'll only have cold showers. That's the biggest drawback.

Clean rooms, good location, but very hard uncomfortable beds. Hot water patchy, and staff get annoyed with you if you don't organize tours/ trekking with them. Average price for thamel, just a pity the staff are so money driven.
