Kabul Lodge

Kabul Lodge is a guesthouse-style hotel in the Shahr-e Naw district of central Kabul, Afghanistan. The area is the capital's main commercial and diplomatic quarter, and the lodge sits within a short drive of shops, offices, embassies and the Chicken Street handicraft market. Kabul International Airport is typically 20 to 30 minutes away by road depending on traffic.

The property keeps a low-key, residential character. Its compound holds a modest number of rooms, offered as Standard and Double categories, arranged around a garden that gives guests a quiet outdoor space within the city. Nightly rates of roughly 4,500 to 6,300 AFN ($65-90) place it in the mid-range for Kabul, below the five-star hotels but with a more settled feel than basic budget guesthouses. Listed amenities include a restaurant, wifi and a garden.

The on-site restaurant is a notable feature because it is open to non-guests from 6 PM, which makes it a meeting point for residents, aid workers and professionals living in the area. It serves a mix of Afghan and international dishes, and breakfast is generally part of the stay. Visitors should confirm current opening arrangements and any rules applying to non-guest access before planning an evening visit.

The lodge does not have a pool, gym or conference suite, and its appeal lies in scale and atmosphere. Service is informal and personal, with staff who tend to know long-stay guests, and the property suits independent travellers, researchers and consultants on medium-length assignments. Those requiring business-centre facilities or resort-style amenities will find more extensive options in the larger hotels elsewhere in Kabul.
