My Go To Place in Kathmandu

The Acme Guest House has been my hotel of choice since I first came to Kathmandu in 2015. So much so that I started bringing groups in 2016 who all agree that it is the perfect place to stay on a budget. The staff is consistently helpful, kind and welcoming.

This property is at the heart of Thamel (tourist) district. This is a great low budget hotel. Don't expect a four star building but the garden is very quiet in the midst of all the busyness off the property. Good for taking a break from all that makes the Thamel district great. The staff is first rate, helpful and very friendly.

Good budget hotel.

Comfortable hotel in the centre of the Thamel tourist district. It is within the pedestrian zone so quiet and close to all bars and restaurants. Reasonably priced but could benefit from refurbishment. One major problem on this stay was loud disco music until 4 am on Sunday night. Not experienced this in my many previous stays at this hotel. Always find pleasant and helpful staff.

Home away from Home

I've been staying at Acme Guest House since November 2015 after the earthquake and every time that I visit, I love it more! The staff is always warm and helpful. This year, I brought another group with me and everyone agreed that this was the place to stay in bustling Thamel. The perfect oasis awaits you.

Positiva solo posizione e ragazza della reception

La struttura è situata nel cuore di Thamel e tramite la grande professionalità della ragazza alla reception potrete organizzarvi per escursioni e transfer presso l'aeroporto che,per soggiorni di più giorni è gratuito quando si arriva in aeroporto. La colazione non è male ed i ragazzi sono molto gentili per il resto è meglio lasciar perdere la camera è freddissima,umida e poco pulita in una settimana non sono mai passati per pulire.

Gem in Thamel

I was recommended ACME guesthouse from friends if mine. We wanted a calm, central and midrange accommodation. That was exactly what we got. There aren't many places in Thamel where you can sit in a garden plus the staff is very helpful.

Fabulous garden right in the centre of Thamel

This is in most ways a decent hotel - we had an economy and, on a later stay, a standard room and they were fine for the price. The thing that makes this place stand out is the lovely garden. Although it is so central - one minute walk from the heart of Thamel, it is really quiet and peaceful. It's also a fantastic place if you've got children with you. There's a huge trampoline and a swimming pool with a slide (this wasn't operational when we were there in Feb but would be great for the hot weather). My nine-year-old loved Kathmandu but also found it stressful and a bit overwhelming, and being able to go back to the garden and play on the trampoline was brilliant.

Wonderful Stay, Once Again!

This is the second time that I've spent some extended time at the Acme Guest Housebountiful and, once again, a fantastic stay! I spent several weeks in November 2015 during the fuel crisis and even with things a bit muddled after the April earthquake, everything was excellent. When I planned my return trip with a volunteer group, I had no hesitation in booking multiple rooms and days. The staff is friendly, ( they even remembered me a year later! ) the rooms and property pristine, bountiful and abundant breakfasts and let's not forget the free yoga classes! My entire group was delighted and I'll be back with more groups in the future!

Fint hotell midt i tamel (turistområde)

Fint hotell til en veldig grei pris. Vi hadde både economyrom og deluxerom og var fornøyd med begge. Selv om economyrom hadde bad på gangen og ungen utsikt, så var det stille og behagelig der.
