This is a nice guesthouse close to the main drag so you have access to great restaurants of Thamel but on a side street so that its quite peaceful at night. The owner is very friendly and helpful and even offered to take me to the local organic market. The rooms are cozy but they are spotless and the rooftop... More

Was overall disappointed with this property as was built up much higher than it is by the reviews. I agree the owner is very helpful and if I was only grading him I would have given higher stars. The property is in the budget rooms section and compared to other budget rooms in thamel is a a little over priced... More

We booked our room a couple of days prior to arrival from Pokhara after our trek at Annapurna Circuit in early Nov 2012. We arrived and was given room 306, a standard twin bed room. The bathroom was just outside our room, so it was still pretty convenient. Room was basic, but comfortable and clean. Our room wasn't big, in... More

It is evident that the owner takes pride in his guesthouse- everywhere from reception to rooftop is well maintained and clutter-free. Room is clean and comfy, although bathroom is slightly cramped (even for an Asian girl like me). Really love the location.. just a few steps from main street where you can find endless shopping/ food outlets! But this place... More

We (family of four with two small children) stayed at the Dolphin before and after our trek in Nepal. It was our third time in Kathmandu, so we have a bit of experience and know what guesthouses in Thamel are like. Location: The Dolphin is located on the northern edge of Thamel. Close enough to walk to restaurants and shops,... More

I've been to the guesthouse for 3 times now and have always been very satisfied with it. It's feels like a home away from home as Mr. Surendra Joshi makes everybody feel very welcome! Whenever I'm back in Kathmandu I'd choose this place anytime again! Thanks Joshi for making my stay another memorable one :)

In November 2012 a friend and I went on our first journey around the world to Kathmandu, Nepal. Finding a place to stay online can be a bit overwhelming and unknown. Mr. Joshi was the most responsive, helpful and caring guest house owner of all. Even when he did not have rooms in the Dolphin Guest house, he referred us... More

Having arrived back from 24-days of trekking only to find our original B&B fully booked we needed another hotel. Recommended by our B&B was nearby Dolphin Guest House. With a quick gathering up of gear left behind at the B&B we headed over to the Dolphin where we were welcomed and shown a spacious room with twin beds. The attached... More
