⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Great location on the edge of Thamel, away from hustle and bustle, spacious room, modern beautiful equipment, excellent cleanliness, comfy beds, hot water in bathroom! All the staff are friendly and helpful. A roof top restaurant is great - one half is open air with an amazing view and the second half is air conditioned/heated in winter, friendly prices, excellent food. Rich, tasty breakfasts with a wide selection of dishes.. We also enjoyed their hotel's wellness center. A beautiful ending was when the staff organized a small farewell party with cake for our children on their own.

It's an amazing homestay, the owner showed me the must visit temples due to my short stay.We also had family dinner with other guests, sharing what was the day of us. The breakfast was delicious and healthy . The room was organized and clean, though it's an old traditional house but you still had a spiritual vibe, can't wait for coming back soon.

Nirvana Kuti

Kathmandu (Near Bālāju)

Featuring mountain views, Nirvana Kuti provides accommodation with a terrace, around 100 metres from Kathmandu Durbar Square.

Irmtraud

From

Austria

Having come eight times to Kathmandu, Nirvana Kuti is the best place I ever stayed in Kathmandu: Just a few steps south of Durbar Square, you can enjoy authentic life of the city - so close and at the same time so far away from the tourist area. This place and neighbourhood feels completely safe also for solo women travellers. During the day, the street is bustling, during the night it is completely calm. The house is newly built, the room is nicely designed, the lamps give a warm light and the beds are very comfortable. Everything is spotless clean. The WC with shower (solar heated water) is private and you can also enjoy a small kitchen for making tea or coffee. Even drinking water is provided! There is a safe possibility for leaving your luggage while trekking (2 dollars/day). The owner is very friendly, speaking excellent English, he is extremely helpful and responsive to your questions and demands. You can also book a pick-up from the airport. NIrvana Kuti is the ideal place for independant travellers, I am looking forward to come back as soon as possible!
