    The hotel key was very grimmy and dirty. The bathroom not that clean. The breakfast average with too much dependency and fruit and vegetable which we shouldn't eat. Harb boiled eggs would be nice.

    The hotel was like an oasis in the city. Very quiet and clean and a rest from busy Kathmandu.

    Some standard rooms vary, after being given a dark, noisy and dated standard room, I asked to change to a different one at the same price. I was provided with this. But I would have been disappointed if I'd had to stay in the first one.

    Excellent location, helpful polite staff. Has an ATM machine on site, good clean restaurant. Beautiful and peaceful garden area is a wow.

    Excellent and atmospheric hotel for tourists and trekkers

    Wifi was a bit flaky. Also, we made 4 arrangements with the hotel for transport and days out. Only one of these went smoothly - twice there was no car when we had booked this, and a one-day tour was not really up to scratch.

    Classic hotel - very atmospheric. Maybe not the best option for the business that I had to carry out (wifi was a bit flaky when I needed it to work), but as a tourist doing a bit of trekking and looking for nice places to eat, the location in Thamel is second to none.

    It is in the center, in the streets of Thamel, but as soon as you enter the hotel, all that noise remains outside and gives you a wonderful garden and peace. The hotel staff was very helpful and very friendly and attentive.

    The staff seemed pretty aloof about customer service. This is a warning sign for KGH. Also, they charged 3% extra on cards for bill payment which is extortion of travelers. I for sure will not stay in that hotel again.

    KGH is a very old establishment and it has rich heritage

    I will stay there again and again but in cheaper rooms to get best value for money

    • Junior Suite with Complimentary Airport Pickup for International Flights

    Every single day maybe 3/4 times a day power would go off,. Outside my room power was there possibly with generator but no power inside the room rendering it pitch dark specially the bathroom. I think no automatic generator though they mentioned something was wrong with the generator switch but in ten days it was not fixed. Also three days no internet, they mentioned it was giving trouble and maintenance was working on it. Lastly the bill was 3 percent higher than the agreed upon price shown at Booking.com page as i paid by credit card. This was not mentioned anywhere during booking. Also payment had to be made in Rupees so double whammy with exchange rates and foreign credit card!! I think i would have been very satisfied if i had cheaper rooms because the hotel itself is stunning, garden is beautiful but to pay 140 dollars and have no power and internet was disappointing because for that kind of money in Kathmandu, one can stay in a 5 star hotel.

    Very spacious room with balcony ( junior suites)fairly clean, ac/heater. Garden area possibly the best in Thamel, a coffee shop Himalayan Java had great coffee. Beautiful cats. Spa and gym also there though i didn't visit. Hot water though takes some time to come for which a LOT of water is wasted but hot water was always available. Free airport pickup a bonus. Balcony overlooked the property but best booked in summer to enjoy sitting outside, too cold in winter. Daily fire lit in the outside eating area was a wonderful experience to enjoy .

    The rooms in the old part are a little outdated, but clean and comfortable.

    It's a wonderful location in the heart of Thamel, with a good history. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the garden is a perfect place to spend time away from the hustle of Thamel.

    The shower tap unit was faulty but functional in my room and the bedroom facilities were quite basic but still comfortable and sufficient for my stay.

    Not much really , all was very comfortable. Has become a little toward the corporate end of things for solo travellers and large groups can be a bit loud over dinner and dominate the scene with their discussions of conquering the langtang trek ( sorry if that sounds a bit cynical )

    The location is great, food excellent and the spa was fantastic. Whilst it may have lost a little of its original mountaineer charm from my last visit in the 1990’s ( big tour groups generally dominate the clientele now with fewer solo travellers) it still retains the peaceful oasis feel in the heart of Thamel.
