Kathmandu Madhuban Guest House

I have been staying at Madhuban for years, and it continues to deliver excellent value for the price. The guesthouse was full for one night, and I had to go on a search for an alternative. 2.5 hrs and countless guesthouses later, I still couldn't find one that captured all these positive elements for a comparable price. Laxman and Madhuban rock! Pros: - Friendly, helpful staff. The owner in particular is exceptionally friendly and has helped with last-minute trip solutions, from private transport to porters. - Complimentary drinking water (hot & cold!) in the reception area - Clean rooms - Comfortable beds - Ensuite bathrooms - Hot showers! - Some rooms have excellent natural light and balconies - Located outside the heart of Thamel, so one isn't in the thick of the touts - Great local breakfast places in the area - Staff + Owner manage the balance of guest interaction and guest space (not bothering the guest) really well

Cons: The only drawback, if this is a drawback, for this price-point is the Wifi. Some rooms have good connectivity while others have shaky connectivity...not a significant issue, but adding a router or two in dead zones would be super helpful.

Everything. This is my go-to hotel in the Heart of Kathmandu!
