I only stayed one night at the guest house. At a standard single room for the prize of USD 40.00 plus tax = USD 50.00. First room they showed were very hot and the fan didn't work. Next room, which I stayed in, was dirty and the ceiling was filled with heavy fungus. I found the staff quite unfriendly and... More

Initially had basic unrenovated room. Well worth the extra for garden view room which has been modernised. Breakfast buffet was great, ok to eat fresh salads and refill from bulk water dispensers on site. Be prepared for Kathmandu's frequent power outages (the have some backup power). Wifi was a bit hit and miss: you can pay for faster internet if... More

Stayed at Kathmandu Guest House for a few nights the last couple of weeks. I paid for the standard room. Generally all ok. Airport transfers are not available despite my asking. I booked through Expedia where there didn't seem to be an option to order a transfer. I then emailed the hotal through the generic email but got no reply.... More

This was a great stay. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The facilities were clean and well-maintained and the room was very comfortable. I had a mid-level room with a bathroom and two twin beds. You get what you pay for and KGH also has nicer, larger rooms, and more hostel-like rooms. I had a few packages delivered... More

Right in the middle of Kathmandu, in the main tourist area, we really enjoyed our short stay. It was very clean and comfortable, if a little basic with a lovely view over the garden. It was an oasis of calm in a very busy, crowded city. We loved the quirkiness and the character of the building - a great place... More

Booked at the Kathmandu Guest Via booking.com a deluxe double room. We were giving a room in the new wing. It was rather small with two separate beds which we requested them to join. There is a small sitting area with only one chair, where the room is for two people, of course you can always use the desk chair,... More

I had the pleasure of staying in KGH for a couple of nights and have to say, in my mind, that it stands apart from the rest in Kathmandu.

Can't comment on the hotel as we've never stayed there but I do feel the urge to write an updated report on the restaurant. Glad to say it is still one of the best places in KTM for a tandoori meal. The alfresco dining area, mostly covered by a large awning to shield those cloudbursts, has a tandoor range in... More

We had a very enjoyable stay, but we did not feel it was worth the money. The advantage of the KTM guesthouse is that everyone knows where it is, making it perfect for a first time stay in hectic Kathmandu. The restaurant is gorgeous and the food is great.
