    Famous House in Kathmandu is a chilled place for a very good price. Spacious rooms, rooftop restaurant with nice views, helpful staff, and a convenient location close to Thamel.

    Felt right at home, nothing too much trouble.

    The room at Famous House Kathmandu was absolutely cozy and comfortable. I loved the 24-hour room service, which made me feel well taken care of. The free WiFi was a bonus - perfect for staying connected with my loved ones. It was great having a safe in the room to store my valuables. a delightful experience!

    Personally, I wasn't a fan of the shared bathrooms. But hey, that's just me.

    I recently stayed at Famous House for a week during my visit to Nepal. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. The beds were really comfortable and the rooms were cleaned daily. The shower had powerful and hot water, making it a truly relaxing experience. The location was perfect, just a short walk away from Thamel main street but still quiet and peaceful. I loved spending time on the balcony with a coffee or beer, enjoying the views of the city. the price was excellent and I didn't hesitate to extend my stay.

    Strongly recommend this hotel.

    The staff were really friendly and helpful during our weekend stay. They went out of their way to assist us with any requests we had, such as organizing taxis and providing information about the area. the location of the hotel was also great, with easy access to popular attractions and a vibrant neighborhood. the rooftop views were amazing, allowing us to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

    the room we were assigned was located next to the stairs, which could get quite noisy when guests and staff were walking up and down. This was particularly noticeable during the evening and early morning.

I had a comfortable and enjoyable stay at Famous House.
