Three Taliban suicide attackers and one policeman are dead after an attack on Kabul's Northgate Hotel early Monday, police said.
Another policeman was wounded during the combat that followed the explosions, police told dpa.
The clearance operation that began immediately after the attack was now over.
A source within the hotel said that no guests or staff in the hotel had been harmed in the attack, local news agency Tolo News reported.
Taliban militants attacked the hotel, a facility providing life-support services to foreign military personnel in Afghanistan's capital, after detonating a truck filled with explosives.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it targeted the hotel because it was a place of "debauchery and obscenity for foreign invaders."
The Northgate Hotel had been previously attacked in July 2013.
Kabul has witnessed three major attacks in the past five weeks that have killed and wounded hundreds of civilians.
80 people were killed and 230 others were wounded after twin suicide bombers set off their explosives among protesters in Kabul in July.
