Quite an old hotel in the heart of Thamel. Totally lacking in maintenance. Our room was a bit mouldy. Bathroom's pretty old and badly stained. But staffs are very friendly and helpful, especially their security guard/bellboy.

Hotel Garuda is an old and well known institution i Kathmandu. The location in the middle of Thamel with all the restaurants and shops are just around the corner. Rooms are basic and not overpriced your breakfast you take at "Crazy Burger" downstairs, not crazy at all. ATM and supermarket very close. The staff is very friendly and can help... More

I have stayed in this guesthouse on multiple occasions dating back to 1997. The location is right in the middle of thamel which is great. For those wanting a quiet night sleep. I challenge you to find anywhere in Kathmandu where you can escape the dread beep beep. On each occasion I have found the staff to be very accommodating.... More

It was really noisy from the night club next door which belted out a repition of songs... More

Was here and thought the was good, everyone was friendly, and the location was right in the middle of thamel, the tourist spot so it was very convenient.

Stayed here a while ago but I just joined TripAdvisor and wanted to review the hotel. I enjoyed this place very much, we stayed here after doing the Anapurna trek and I could barely get down the stairs, which was good because the signed pictures of decades worth of climbers grace the walls of the stairwell....be sure to take a...

Ok, it's noisy (aehm, VERY noisy) Ok, maybe the carpet needs some renovation. But the bathroom was clean, the manager friendly and the girl at the desk helpful, not to mention the great admiral at the door :-) Don't forget to take a look at the pictures on the stairs! You will see memories of more than a generation of... More
