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.

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.

Better than a 5 start hotel
Great! Right in the heart of the city, right next to all he shopping and food! Clean with great accommodations (king size beds, air conditioning, huge bathroom, mini fridge...etc). I had stayed in the yak and yeti earlier and this place blew that place out of the water. Would've rather stayed here my entire trip!

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.

Great Staff, service and location
I cut short my EBC trek but could not get an earlier flight so I stayed at the Gaju Suite Hotel an extra 10 nights - the reception staff were so helpful - they liaised with Ace The Himalaya Travel company regarding my change of plans as well as giving me a choice of rooms when I did change my plans. The restaurant staff knew exactly what breakfast to provide me after the 3rd visit and the cleaning staff were very polite and made the room very clean and neat. I would highly recommend this centrally located hotel to any visitor to Kathmandu as it is in the centre of Thamel - famous for restaurants, shops and bars.

Fun family getaway
The rooms were nice and spacious. I would have expected a bit more in the kitchenette portion than 1 coffee cup and 1 plate. No microwave in the room. No utensils.
