Very Good

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.
Beautiful property that is well kept. Met the owner who lives on site who has an eye for detail. The staff are excellent

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.
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.

Noise Charged for breakfast despite request not to because of early morn departure
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

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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 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.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Music blasting until 4am next to room assigned. Requested not to be charged for breakfast because not able to use - next morning early morn departure. Still charged
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.
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 walls were very thin. I had to ask my neighbours to keep it down at 2:00 am
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).
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.
