Liked: The Kathmandu guest house is in a perfect location, right in the middle of Thamel. It's so easy just to pop in and out during a day of shopping. It is a very well known place so all the taxi drivers and others know where it is if you need to ask. The staff were super friendly and worked to make my stay the most enjoyable they could. The restaurant is nice a easy for a meal without having to go out into the chaos of the streets! The garden is wonderful to sit and relax in and you can order anything from the restaurant menu there! Loved my time here!

Disliked: I was a little suprised that the rooms weren't services at all during my stay and I had to ask for toilet paper twice!! I saw some people handing in their keys during the day so maybe that's why my room wasn't done!

Liked: Location only.

Disliked: Very unhelpful and disorganised staff. Noisy. Overbooking 'problem' that led to us being shunted off to a different hotel in a worse location. Very hard matresses.

Liked: Lovely garden. Nice cafe at the front but it's a bit pricey to eat there.

Disliked: The room wasn't very good value for money. We seemed to be stuck at the back in a very budget room. Compared to other hotels we saw, I'd say $15 a night (rather than $30) would be a more appropriate price.

Liked: Would not stay there again unless refurbished. We stayed some years ago and liked it. This time the room decor was bad.Stains across ceiling. The shower was really bad ,broken washbasin, broken tiles and dirty. The lighting arrangements were so bad that we could not read. If using economy bulbs then move light fittings.Then during our last night had water come through the ceiling onto a bed !!!!Did complain to General Manager ; he did not appear to be concerned.

Liked: Central location in Thamel with a charming atmosphere and a nice and peaceful rear garden. Negative: Booked room was not available on arrival and I was changed the first night to a cheaper room without bathroom which was quite good, from 2nd night on I stayed at a Standard room next to laundry - it was dark, cold and very loud during the night.

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
