7 days stay

My week stay at this hotel was pleasant. The location is excellent, in the heart of Thamel. The suite I stayed in was comfortable. I have only two small criticisms: The hot water had a very strong and unpleasant smell. Loud music from the next bar into the morning hours.

Totally opposite to the photo presentation Expedia gave. The room smelled like it had been damp for a long time. It had not been aired and smelled musty. It was also cold and the heating barely worked. The bed sheets also felt damp. The reception shared its counter in a mall. Lots of strange people hanging around. I could not stay there and had to leave. Expedia should not sell this place again

Not good

Surprised at the good reviews here. It's very noisy - until 2am or 3am due to clubs being right next door. The service is also very poor - they don't even provide mosquito repellents in the room (which even budget hotels do as a matter of course in Thamel) and when I asked for one they didn't have one, which is just plain lazy and incompetent.

Spacious suite room. Only drawback was there is no separate aircon in the living area though a fan and heater are provided. Large refrigerator. Clean room and attentive staff and reception even during off peak season. New hotel. Different areas of the room were at different level with an inch step.... no issue once you get used to it.

2 nights in Thamel

We LOVED our stay in Gaju Suite Hotel, it definitely is worth the price. The suite was amazing, and really comfortable, nicely decorated and had all the basic amenities. We loved its unique design: how they decorated the living room as well as the bathroom. The breakfast was one of the best we had in Nepal, with different items for the buffet breakfast each day. We also adored their Reef Restaurant decor, and their daily evening live music and Halloween decor. Perfect location, everything is only a few minutes away: you can easily access the Thamel night life from here. We highly recommend a stay here!!

Good location, but not well maintained

It has an excellent location. Room rates are reasonable. But it has several shortfalls, disappointing for a 3-star. The power supply is erratic, must have had an power outage almost once a day. There is no kettle. There are only 2 lights for the main room, the room was very dim. No separate shower area, so water will splash to the toilet and wash basin. Wifi is slow. The lifts sometimes don't work, could be due to power cut. The restaurant has nightly live music until close to midnight.

長期滞在にも適した部屋

ウイークリーマンションのような、１ＬＤＫの広々した部屋でした。キッチンや冷蔵庫もあります。チョッとした食器とポットもあります。この価格でこの内容は充実です。水も１ℓを毎日補充してくれます。セキュリティーボックスがあり、オートロックです。タメル地区内でタクシーを拾う場合には、タメルチョーク南のタクシー乗り場まで行くのが一般的ですが、このホテルはタメル地区中心部の北の端の方にありホテル前の道路がやや広めなため、ここでも常に数台のタクシーが待機していてとても便利でした。1階には両替所やカフェもあって便利でした。朝食は06：30－10：30で、毎日メニューが変わりとても美味しいです。夜は６階のレストランバーにバンドが入ってカラオケ？や酒も楽しめます。そのため、夜12時くらいまでホテル内に歌声と音楽が響いています。私は4階に宿泊しましたが、なかなかのボリュームで音楽が聞こえます。ホテルの住所はあっているのですが、Hotel.comに出てくる地図内のホテルの場所表記が間違っています。色々なことが重なって偶然に早い段階でそのことに気付きましたが、観光に動き出してからだと、自分の居場所が把握できないためかなり混乱したでしょう。

Living in the heart of Tamel, Kathmandu

The hotel has an excellent location in the shopping and social centre of Tamel. The street is closed for cars. Our room was spacious, with a terrace - not all rooms are like that. Of course the quality of air in Kathmandu did not allow us to spend much time on the terrace. There was still some construction work going on in the hotel, but it did not disturb us. The vast restaurant on the top floor with terrace hosts also parties and musical events. The menu was varied (the breakfast became a little monotonous after 10 days), the service good, the staff friendly. We liked our room attendant (Anu) who was very helpful. We had some small problems with finding our way through TV programs, also hot water was sometimes not available. But on the whole, we would chose the hotel again in case of ever returning to Kathmandu.

Great Service Apartment type Hotel

A great Service-Apartment type Hotel. I stayed in Room 302 which has large Living Room, Small dining table, Kitchen area with basic facilities and good size Bed Room. Bathroom was openable from both sides from Living Room as well as Bed Room which is a plus point if you have visitors. On the 5th Floor, REEF lounge/club is situated which is very nice. Yes, loud music on top you will hear in nights but it didn't bother me. Rather, I went up for most nights and was getting preferred service as a Hotel Guest. Hotel is situated in Thamel market area so you will always find something happening on the streets. They don't have separate dining area besides REEF on 5th floor so they serve breakfast in the room.

Great location

Gaju Suites is centrally located in the Thamel district of Kathmandu. Staff was friendly at reception and quite helpful with needs such as making local phone calls and providing advice. The restaurant was clean, and food was good, however breakfast had limited choices and wait staff were not very attentive. I should mention that service in restaurants all over Kathmandu was quite inconsistent. Hotel was clean and in good condition, water was hot. I could hear the live music in my room from the restaurant upstairs which might be difficult for light sleepers. It wasn't loud enough to keep me from sleeping, and was over every night at 11, so I never asked for a different room. I think there were some rooms which are not directly under the restaurant, or I could have asked to move to a lower floor (was on 3rd, re staurant on 5th). Overall, good impression, but I wouldn't pay more than $35/night which was my 'discounted' rate. There are plenty of other hotels of the same caliber with rated in the mid $30 range.

Nice hotel in the heart of Thamel

Stayed here over 2 periods of time on my 2 visits to Nepal this year. The hotel is centrally located in the tourist area of Thamel with restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. The hotel staff are lovely, particularly the reception and restaurant staff who are extremely helpful. The rooms are comfortable but there can be frequent electricity cut-outs so be careful using the elevator. Hot water may take a few minutes to arrive into your bathroom, particularly in winter months. Food in the restaurant is fine.I have not used the beauty salon/massage center.

Great location and service

I cut short my EBC trek and stayed an extra 8 nights at the Gaju Suite Hotel. The Reception and Dining Room staff were extremely helpful and knew me before I introduced myself when I enquired about meals or changing money and using a hotel room. The facilities are very nice and the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The cleaning staff do a good job cleaning the room. The Gaju Suite Hotel is centrally located in Thamel in Kathmandu and there are many great shops, travel companies and restaurants nearby. The Blue Tourist Bus stop (to get to other cities) is about 10 minutes walk from the hotel.
