Santosh was very responsive to our requests and provided right information and help we needed.

Gurung's home is a really small, cozy hostel with an exceptionally friendly staff! Santos is not just a hostel manager, I'd rather call him a feel-good manager! He went above and beyond to fullfill the guests needs.

Cons: The location is some 10-15min walk from Thamel and major transport hubs but involves passing through the local neighborhood, that is very sage but be unsettling for some travelers. Breakfast could use more variety to avoid repetitio, is always an omelet and a couple of toasts.

Pros: Homely and simple place with a clean atmosphere. Comfortable amenities like hot water, a fan, and AC. Friendly staff, though a bit pushy with tour and transport offers (not overwhelming). Payment via bank cards available with a 3.5% commission. Great flexibility to book tours, transport, and intercity travel on your own, saving money. Basic but decent breakfast of toast and an omelet, though it can get repetitive. Quiet and safe neighborhood, although a bit of a walk (10-15 minutes) to Thamel and major transport hubs, through local streets that might be unsettling to some. About Nepal: Local SIM/eSIM is recommended for easy communication, and the Pathao/InDrive apps make moving around cheap and simple (just remember to pay in cash). Be mindful of ATM fees and cash-only payments. Nepal offers more animal protein options than India. The people are friendly and more open-minded than expected. Roads can be rough, so plan your travels wisely and avoid tight connections when flying out.

Tv wasn't easy to use and kept going off. If possible I would go for a room upstairs. There was a table with chairs outside my room so I was disturbed when people sat there.

Lovely staff, especially Santash. Breakfast was also very good (coffee, omlette, potatoes, and toast). The double room was spacious with fan and hot water. It was also clean.

Noise in the night and early morning from outside

We stayed with Gurung’s home for almost a week during the floods that hit Kathmandu. We stayed longer than intended but found in Santos a warm and helpful person who made our trip. Rooms are basic but accommodating and the staff definitely go the extra mile! Hope to be back one day.

Santos the owner and manager makes you feel like you’re home, helps with everything and really cares about your experience. The location is perfect - not too far from the Thamel area, very quiet and you get a more local experience.

All better

Feel like.. It's home.. away home

Getting to Thamel, while walkable, can eat a bit of your time available in Kathmandu.

Really cosy place, the rooms are clean, well ventilated, and the hosts offer a lot of services you might need, like laundry, bus/transportation booking. Santosh is extremely welcoming and funny and makes you feel like you’re in a good place. Good common area to meet other travelers and they offer meals and drinks.

Gurung's home truly welcomes you like a family. It's so nice to be received by an attentive and friendly staff. They help you with anything - from getting passport pictures to recommendations about your hiking plans. Santosh, our host is the friendliest guy we have met in Kathmandu. He goes out of his way to make you feel welcomed in Nepal and puts his heart into his job. The rooms are well priced, and the place is tucked away from the business of Thamel but is still close to it. Thank you for ensuring a nice stay for us!

Everything is fantastic but if I had to choose one positive aspect over the rest I would definitely mention the atmosphere that the host creates. We felt really comfortable during our several stays at Gurung's Home. Gurung's Home has been our oasis in Kathmandu. Everytime we went back there after exhausting long trips around the country, the amazing host Shantosh was there to welcome us with a kind smile and a wonderful masala tea.

Everything was great honestly

Shantos is just the best host, he is really committed with making everyone feel comfortable. Gurung's Home was a paradise for us and we cannot recommend the place enough. There's a great variety of food available at a great price, excellent service and a really nice café area to relax or chat with other guests. Best choice if you're visiting Katmandú.

I recently stayed at this hotel and was immediately struck by the calm and peaceful atmosphere as I entered the property. The place exudes positive vibes and a welcoming ambiance, reminiscent of a monastery. Despite my early morning arrival, the staff greeted me warmly and promptly arranged my room without any hesitation. They were also incredibly helpful in guiding me around the local area and even booked a cab for my next destination. The food was delicious, and the entire property is beautifully designed, radiating authentic Nepali vibes. Overall, a truly peaceful and delightful experience.

The staff was very polite and helpful as well as friendly. The owner was also very well mannered and humble l. The location is good and peaceful. 1 km away from the hustling area of Thamel. They can do a little bit more in adding some more veg options in there breakfast otherwise a perfect stay.

Gurungs home is a peaceful place in the middle of trees and plants. Inbetween swayambhu and thamel, just a 15min walk to both. Lovely staff, letting you feel at home and providing for all you need. Thank you! I will come back. (and also the most comfortable beds and sheets i've had so far in nepal :) )
