The apartment was cozy, clean and staff made us like home. All staff including Ganesh were friendly and helped us navigate grocery, nearby amenities. Thamel was also close by , so it was great location for exploring areas.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Kattle Homestay in Kathmandu is a true hidden gem! From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness that made me feel right at home. The hosts are incredibly friendly and attentive, always ensuring that every detail of my stay was perfect. The rooms are spotlessly clean, cozy, and well-furnished, with a calm atmosphere that’s perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the city. The location is peaceful and safe, yet conveniently close to shops and local eateries. The highlight of my stay was definitely the food. Every meal was freshly prepared, full of authentic Nepali flavors, and served with such care that it felt like dining with family. It’s clear the hosts take pride in sharing their culture and hospitality with guests. What I loved most was the personal connection — the hosts truly make you feel special, taking the time to chat, share stories, and ensure you’re comfortable at all times. Staying here wasn’t just about having a place to sleep; it was about experiencing the warmth of Nepali life. If you’re visiting Kathmandu and want a place that’s clean, comfortable, and filled with heart, Kattle Homestay is the perfect choice. I left with wonderful memories and can’t wait to return!

Very spacious, well equipped, new apartment on a quiet street. Very welcoming and helpful hosts. We enjoyed being away from noisy, busy Thamel. In this middle class neighbourhood we found good cafes and restaurants, will definitely check out the nearby gym on next visit. Photos on Booking are accurate.

Stayed here on my partners birthday. They organised a delicious personalised cake for us to enjoy in the sun. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. The rooftop pool was lovely, great views out over the city and surrounding mountains. Good breakfast, fresh omelette made to order.

What a lovely, friendly, quiet hotel, everything was fantastic, the food (you must try the Thali) breakfast delicious and plentiful, the staff always with a smile, and my room was so comfortable, piping hot shower, beautiful bathroom, comfy bed and pillows, tea coffee and kettle, thick bathrobe and slippers, nothing forgotten, and my room had a view of the Swoyambhu Temple which is a must visit, it's stunning. I easily arranged my tours with Dolakh the owner directly, after wasting my time before scrolling online, the shared helicopter tour to Mount Everest was simply incredible, a once in a lifetime adventure, and it turned out to be much cheaper than the other people on the trip had paid, the day tour to the sunrise at Nagarkot, Bhaktapur, Buddha stupa and Pashupatinath Temple, was fantastic, 2 Unesco World Heritage sites in 1 day. All of my onward domestic flights booked for me too, at a fraction of the cost of trying to do it myself, a speedy, easy service, very much appreciated. I would definitely recommend you choose this hotel and tour company (Mountain Mart).

I am glad that I stayed in this hotel. It has a great location, on a quiet street. The hotel has a good breakfast, and there is a cafe in the lobby where you can have a delicious coffee with dessert. The room was clean and had a comfortable bed, I slept well. The hotel has a responsive and polite staff. The hotel manager was very helpful, he walked me to the bus stop in the morning, helped me find the bus stop to Pokhara, as it is located in an unclear place. I am very grateful to him for his help. I definitely recommend this hotel. If my path lies through Kathmandu, I will only stay at this hotel.
