Good location but poor service, the owners don't care about customers, nobody clean the share bathroom, all the day they wait on the couch.... we saw 2 rats in the room near the kitchen and the sheets are not changed.

Also this year we spend a few weeks in the ‘Family peace house’ at Poknajol. More times in different rooms. It was the last time because we will not book this guesthouse again. There are pros and cons but the list of cons get longer every time we stay here. I will make a honest list of all those things... More

Just a five minute walk from the city centre you find the Family Peace Guest House. It's a quiet place with friendly staff. Rooms are clean and it's possible to arrange trips via the hostel. Negotiate about the price (especially when it's low season). I had some trouble with our shower, but maybe that's just a Nepali thing.

Family Peace House is in a great location with decent rooms, but there are many better choices just next door for you. The staff is not very friendly or welcoming. They also seem to be very disorganized. They forgot our reservation. One of the staff members charged us a 13% tax on the room only to later find out it... More

Large clean rooms with own showers (hot water) and toilet, comfortable beds and maily with balcony - realy welcome every evening to sit there with cold beer and chat with other people from other balconies ;) All...

We only stayed 1 night in this guest house and I was glad it was only one... The rooms are dirty, visible dry blood on the sheets, dirty floor in the room and bathroom, dripping shower which was impossible to turn off, toilet seat broken Torn mosquito netting on the windows and damp mould on the walls. Nobody available at... More

Nice quiet location, which is away from the craziness that can be Thamel. I had a nice sized balcony room, with plenty of hot water which was great after walking around the city. My room was large, comfortable and the balcony was a great place to sit with a cold brew at the end of the day .Staff are helpful... More

Ive spent 20 different winters hanging out in Nepal. The first time was 30 years ago. I have stayed at a lot of different Guest houses in the Thamel area over the years, but I finally found a 'home' here. I really like the Family Peace House.

Nice and quiet location but close to the shops and night life in thamel. The staff is super friendly and the rooms are great for the price. Sheets are clean, bathrooms decent, and an epic rooftop view!

We stayed here for a couple of nights. A little walk outside of Thamel to get here, though we often got rickshaws because we'd sometimes get lost trying to find our way back to central Thamel! so a little bit further away than we'd like but it was reaaaly nice. really nice rooftop garden to relax on with beautiful view...
