    Dondrub is a quiet escape. The rooms are basic but quality and the breakfast is delicious. The communal breakfast also gives you the ability to meet other travelers in the morning.

    Favourite place to stay in Kathmandu. It's quiet, peaceful and has a lovely Sangha community. The breakfast is lovely and the rooms are so comfortable. I love hearing the nuns sing and so their prayers. The location is also perfect for walking...

    Excellent value for money. Helpful staff. Strong hot water shower. IF this Guesthouse weren’t owned by the Nunnery next door and staying here helps fund them, I would gate-keep this info to ensure easy room availability in the future!
