International Guest House

Int'l Guest House is a great hotel and really value for money. It is well situated in Thamel. The most remarkable about the place is its beauty and atmosphere. All is built in traditional Newari style with tiles and wood carvings around doors, windows, in corridors and terraces. Moreover, interiors and exteriors are decorated with a wealth of Nepalese antiquities: Religious masks and figures, pottery, carvings etc. Rooms are spacey and with a view to either the back yard or front yard - green and beautiful. Cleaning staff has a charming habit of arranging your towels in swan / baby swan or flower figures. Visiting during the winter months can be chilly. Our only recommendations to the hotel is to provide guests with an electric heater or a heated mattress to make the stay in the room more comfortable. However, with the very reasonable price for a room during January and February you can not expect full blown five star equipment. We highly recommend Int'l Guest House to everyone with a feeling for careful and beautiful Nepali decoration style and handicraft, indoor as well as outdoor.

Great views from the roof, incredibly helpful staff, and they held our bigger luggage while we trekked. The courtyard was lovely too with many great decorations and plants. We were able to walk to the dream garden and old Durban square from here

Having enjoyed many stays here over the years the IGH remains my go-to place to stay in Thamel. Recently updated the hotel retains its crown as a peaceful oasis of calm and aesthetic beauty within north Thamel. The wonderful gardens and seating areas are excellent and feature a vast museum collection of Nepali cultural items and, in particular, architectural pieces including many that have been incorporated into the hotel itself. Rooms on five floors provide en suite facilities and are maintained to a high standard on a daily basis. Included buffet style breakfast.. with cooked options available, has been recently updated and extended to provide a high quality western style selection. All services and guidance provided including Airport pickup on request. The long established staff and facilities reflect a high standard of care for their guests. Prices are mid-range and cater for the more discriminating guests including NGO workers that value the peaceful, maybe less tourist centred, atmosphere. All credit to the owner and staff for maintaining this excellent establishment.

I have stayed here before and really love it. It is a peaceful and beautiful place to stay that is close to Thamel but just out of the hustle and bustle. The garden is such a highlight, so beautiful with its flowers and trees. A lovely place to sit and relax. Breakfast is yummy and there is a lovely menu to order lunch and dinner from. There is also a coffee shop attached to the guesthouse which offers delicious coffees and cakes. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.

The hotel is worthy for its quite central position and the really beautiful and characteristics common area. The rooms, on the other side, are a bit old and the bathroom really needs a renovation. We didn't take the basic room and the space was still barely ok, so my guess is that basic rooms would be really small for a couple. Breakfast was not having big selection but fruit was fresh and omlete quite good so no complains there for the price point. The personel was kind and helpful so this is another plus. So I feel to suggest it for the position and the really amazing common areas (and also the price that was quite a bargain) but if instead you are searching for recently refreshed rooms with amenities, I suggest you to look elsewhere. If you have a bit of adaptation it can be an amazing experience.

An excellent, comfy, well run hotel Peaceful courtyard, very good service and right in the centre of Thamel Staff can’t do enough for you, nice sunny breakfast, laundry, cool cafe with great cakes attached Wifi is pretty good (for Nepal) Calm and tranquil place to stay amongst all the craziness and bustle of Thamel

Hier bringt mich meine befreundete Trekking Agentur in Kathmandu immer unter.Alle Zimmer sehr sauber. Kostenloses WLAN. Passwort an der Rezeption erfragen. Die Zimmer zum Garten sind sehr ruhig, obwohl an der Straße einiges los ist. Die Zimmer haben TV, habe dies jedoch nicht genutzt. Der Gartenbereich ist zugänglich und ist eine Oase der Ruhe.

Ich bin sehr oft in nepal unterwegs und habe viele hotels besucht. Dieses war echt das schlimmste und auch das teuerste hotel. Das Zimmer war sehr alt und im Bad waren Kakerlaken. Es war sehr staubig. Abends haben die Hunde sehr lange gebellt. Personal war nicht sehr bemüht. Das Frühstück war nur auf das minimal reduziert Wenn mann einen Kaffee oder Chai wollte, musste man alles extra zahlen. Ich werde nie wieder dieses Hotel betreten und niemanden empfehlen. Für 5000 pupien pro Nacht muss man mehr anbieten!

Oasis en medio de la ciuda, jardines preciosos, gran cafeteria y cakes. Personal muy amable. Sitio ideal para relajarte y sentir lo afortunado que eres en medio de la ciudad preciosa de Kathmandu. viajeros internacionales y parajes admirables.
