The Kantipur Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal, stands as an architectural testament to the rich cultural and religious heritage of the region. Renowned for its intricate design and historical significance, the temple attracts visitors seeking to explore the intricacies of Nepalese craftsmanship and spirituality. Its well-preserved structure and serene ambiance contribute to a meaningful cultural experience for those interested in the religious tapestry of Kathmandu.

The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating. They went over and above to assist me in finding a taxi and ensuring all went well. My highest recommendations!

Kantipur Temple House is a hidden gem in the Thames district of Kathmandu. Painstakingly reproduced Nepalese architecture from a bygone era. Hugely spacious and comfortable rooms. Many small alcoves to enjoy delicious Chai Masala. The food is organic and exquisite. Yoga on the rooftop. The staff goes above and beyond every expectation that I had. Unexpectedly, I met the owner one day at the front door - and we shared stories for nearly an hour. Forget the higher priced places. Kantipur Temple House is far better at half the price. When I return to Kathmandu, the only place I will consider staying is Kantipur Temple House. A big thank you from me to everyone at Kantiour the made my stay so enjoyable
5.0
I really enjoyed the fact that the property was tucked away from the noise of the city. The architecture was really appealing as well. The staff was so helpful and professional. Great stay.
5.0
Kantipur Temple House is a great place to base yourselves when exploring Kathmandu. The staff are very accommodating and the rooms are spacious. The city is dusty and noisy but only a little of both finds it’s way into the rooms. Good breakfast and we would commend this hotel for all that they are doing to minimise plastics etc. Hot water bottles in your beds in the evening is a very welcoming start to a good nights sleep.

I’m really in two minds about my recent stay.
Great location and character filled building, great staff, lots of little nice touches.
Some things really irked such as cold building, overpriced drinks, lousy showers etc
Overall it was OK but relative to others probably overpriced.

This hotel is really beautiful. If you’re looking for that perfect Instagram pic you’ll definitely get it here. Great location, helpful staff. However, a few things you need to know. It’s an “eco” hotel- there’s no AC or heat. No TV. And it’s dark. Like, you can’t get ready or see in your room at night. The bulbs in the room were 5 watts- we literally almost went out and bought new light bulbs when we stayed here. It’s just... odd. The bathrooms are also pretty spartan but whatever- you’re in Nepal. Overall a beautiful property but a few small tweaks would really push it over the top and make it fabulous instead of just okay.

If you are looking for a unique small hotel with a lot of charm, and can live with no pool or cable tv, then Kantipur Temple is well worth a try. I can honestly say that it is one of my favorite boutique hotels anywhere. The architecture is dedicated to preserving the 16th century brick and ornate wood traditional style and the owner/ staff are committed to being organic and green. The garden is lovely and the restaurant is very nice. The location is fabulous because it is just 2 little black class from a main Thamel street but it offers a peaceful setting hidden from the madness:) The WiFi is basically good, the rooms tend to be dark, but that saves electricity. I was a little sick and they had an electric blanket ready for me. Nights can be very cold!! This seems to be a favorite spot for hundreds of European trekkers. Friendly, warm and helpful staff. I was very happy there.huge luxury hotels could learn a lot from Kantipur Temple house.

The place is beautiful, charming and well located, but is really cold and dark, they give you electric blankets and electric heaters or hot water bags that in my case make me feel some ill because that only warm a little area and the rest remains cold very cold. In fact, I had the booked another hotel for the second night (It was already paid) in order to prevent getting more sick before I go trekking,That and the noise made by the machines they are using in remodelatiions in the front area (I had to asked to be changed to a rooms in the back) made my stay in this hotel not good.Maybe it was just bad luck

We realised that 3 days is simply not long enough to see Kathmandu & must one day return to also go beyond Kathmandu. I loved being close to the tourist shopping area but did not appreciate the environmentally friendly chill of the hotel. They try to compensate with electric blankets, hot water bottles and smelly gas cylinder heaters in the bedrooms but the public areas are still very cold in February.
2.5
Amazing. Hot water bottles and electric blankets and a total oasis in the midst of the city. Would recommend and stay again!

Great place to staySituated in Thamel, but on a quiet street. Staff always ready to help. We stayed in January, it was a bit cold, but we were provided with heaters.

Staffs were nice and welcoming always made sure that we had everything we needed. The property itself is like a sanctuary for us from the crazy city of Kathmandu. Walking distance from the shopping streets and a few steps away from a tour agency.
The only problem we faced was airport transfers and communication around that. So, make sure you get in touch with them early on this.

The staff and the food were wonderful! The hotel is beautiful! We loved everything about our stay at the Kantipur House and would stay here again. It really is a special place!

Located in peaceful area in thamel. Nice courtyard to chill which iis really great. Stayed 2 nights in a deluxe room which is on 1st floor facing toward courtyard. Highly recommended :)
2.5
Kantipur Temple House Hotel was an oasis of calm in the craziness that is Thamel. Beautiful architecture, nicely furnished rooms and very friendly and helpful staff. The hotel has a green ethos and provides clean water without encasing it in plastic, cloth bags for shopping and solar panels provide wonderfully hot water to the showers. Even free yoga each morning in the garden at 8am, perfect for when you’ve just come down from the mountains!!
2.5
I was here for two nights and everything was satisfying. The room is nice in temple style, spacious and very clean. Was looking forward to join their yoga class in the morning, but it was cancelled due to the big tohar festival (which I can understand). I will definitely stay here again if I come to Kathmandu!

This hotel didnt quite deliver what we had expected, it was an interesting building displaying the local architecture and building skills to their best but the hotel was let down by some very dark rooms with virtually no daylight and poor artificial lighting. Also, the promised toiletries actually comprised 2 small soap bars for our 4 night stay, similarly the hair dryers and ceiling fans didnt exist, contrary to the hotel description. The staff were good, especially the lady on reception and the hotels airport pick up ($10) was reliable. The included breakfast was OK but unchanging over our time there and not replenished very quickly, if at all, towards the end on the breakfast period. In conclusion the hotel is well located and its construction interesting but the nightly rate is quite expensive and we felt it didnt really represent good value given the deficiencies described above.

Kantipur Temple was an outstanding place to stay in Kathmandu. The decor and architecture is exquisite, the beds comfortable, hospitality outstanding and food delicious. We were so happy staying here and grateful for the opportunity. As a side note they saved a package from the US addressed to us, until our arrival.

The opposite of a cookie-cutter hotel, Kantipur Temple House offers an authentic Nepalese experience. Beautiful carvings, stonework, flowering gardens abound, and the morning yoga on the lawn was a treat. Great location in Thamel, but on a secluded alleyway. We loved our stay!
1.3
What a bliss to enter this hotel after the busy street of Thamel, Kathmandu. The staff are super friendly and helpful. They found out about my birthday and gave me so many presents, all staff wishing me on that day. The owner invited me and my friends to his beautiful restaurant. Yoga class in the morning is a treat too. Beautiful building and architecture. Great location!
2.5
On a cold night, the staff had turned on an electric blanket below our bottom sheet, and the bed was toasty and wonderful. Kathmandu was fascinating, but busy, noisy and SO polluted...somehow this inn helped us detox; even the air quality was healing. Good job, Kantipur Temple House.
1.3
Wonderful locally-owned eco-hotel in a very aesthetically-pleasing style based on historical architecture. Good location in Thamel, close to restaurants, markets, and Durbar Square temples. Staff was kind and accommodating, and the owner was on-site to greet us and chat. Great restaurant serving Nepali and Indian cuisines. Free roof-top yoga every morning! Beautiful gardens and grounds.
2.0
A very nice guest house in the Thamel district. The neighborhood is quiet and (it seemed to me) very safe. Totally quiet at night, with a sanctuary type of atmosphere due to fact it's walled in with a garden. About a 10-minute walk from all the restaurants and bars in Thamel. And there are plenty of souvenir shops in the immediate vicinity. There's an excellent coffee shop nearby called Java. Best coffee in Katmandu. They roast their own coffee and make great espresso drinks. A good place to sip a latte while planning your day.
The hotel has the feeling of a traditional guest house. The restaurant serves a good variety of dishes and is worth visiting in its own right. They also have a yoga class in the morning. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. I like that they are environmentally conscious and that they try to keep waste to a minimum. I found myself being very careful with water and electricity, because I was aware that these resources aren't things you take for granted in Katmandu. There are scheduled "brown-outs" every day (as everywhere in Katmandu), but the hotel has got back-ups so there weren't any significant interruptions to hot water or electricity. I didn't bring any devices so I can't comment on wi-fi, but they let me use the computer in the office to check my email. Overall, the KGH is somewhat modest, not a luxury hotel by any means, but perfectly clean, welcoming, and well situated.
