The Kathmandu Guest House is one of the oldest in the Thamel area, with several additions having been added to the first original building. I first stayed at the KGH quite a few years ago, before it was upgraded, with new buildings, a lovely large garden area, a museum, and several shops including an art house; significantly higher prices reflected the upgrade. It is now part of the KGH Group of hotels. It is centrally located in Thamel and offers the usual desk services, such as tour booking. Free airport pickup on arrival is available for international flights, with 48 hr pre-notification. There are 4 basic room prices (in addition to suites and a family room), for the different annexes - Standard, Garden Facing, Deluxe and Superior, with and without breakfast option. The very good breakfast is $15 if ordered separately, and about half that if included in the room price. On this trip, I stayed at different times in the Standard and the Garden Facing rooms. My friend had stayed in the Deluxe room. The beds and pillows are very comfortable in all the rooms. A hot water pot, with coffee/tea, is in each room. The best value is the Garden Facing room. The Deluxe is almost double the price, and from what I saw, primarily has a bigger garden window and a glass enclosure for the shower. The Superior room, located in the newest annex, is even more costly. My Garden Facing room had a good view, but the toilet/shower had a tub with no shower door or even a curtain, so water splashed from the tub over the floor when showering. It really should be upgraded with a shower enclosure or curtain. The Standard room that I stayed in for one night was almost the same price as the Garden Facing room; however, it is unattractive, with no view from the window, no closet, with a desk but not even a small suitcase table, and with the smallest bathroom of any guesthouse I have stayed in; the shower head is above the sink and toilet (see photo), which floods the floor. It was a mistake to book it. Be careful about the booking, since the Standard room is not always distinguished from the Garden Facing room. Also, since our return flight was later in the evening, we asked about late checkout. The only option was paying 50% of the room charge additional, to stay from 12 to 6 PM. And if your breakfast was included in the original booking, the 50% was applied also to that, even though no more food was offered! Somewhat of a unfriendly ripoff. I enjoyed my stay very much, but my lower rating was primarily because of the high price for the mediocre quality of the Standard room, as well as the excessive late checkout fee.
