I stayed in Nirvana Kuti following the recommendation of Linda, a wonderful woman that I met in Delhi airport. She was indeed accurate: Nirvana Kuti is such a beautiful accomodation, comfortable, clean and pretty new. It was easy to feel home. Besides the comfort of the room, with a big, warm bed, with views to the temple just in front of the house, it is located just a few steps from Durbar square, in a very calm street. I slept extremely well and woke up to the beautiful views. Life is magical and I met Bobby, the owner of Nirvana Kuti, even before my stay. He kindly offered me a ride to Nirvana Kuti, and he made it very easy for me to feel home. Even more, he also allowed me to stay a bit longer because my bus was leaving in the evening. I appreciate Bobby's kindness and the beautiful taste in which the house is built. It is both comfortable and stylish, and the location couldn't be better. Thank you Bobby for making of my last days in Kathmandu (for this time) a beautiful experience and see you next time ♡

We really enjoyed our stay Stupa View Inn ,particularly regarding its location and staff. Stupa View Inn offers a comfortable and welcoming stay, for travelers seeking a quieter alternative to the bustling Thamel district. Its proximity to the Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple) is a major draw, allowing for easy access to this significant cultural site. We love frequently highlight the exceptional helpfulness of the staff, who contribute significantly to a pleasant experience. The inn's rooftop terrace is a standout feature, providing stunning views of the surrounding Kathmandu Valley. Additionally, the availability of reliable Wi-Fi great for WiFi junket and hot showers is consistently praised. The location, while peaceful, remains conveniently accessible to other areas of interest. emphasize the good value for money, free drinking refill center ,travel desk for ask question and free cup of hot tea .bed is comfy and beautiful Colour and beautiful local art and mountain photo in room.

Mums Homestay is the best accommodation I have in my first trip to Nepal!!! The location is away from the busy center, but very near to the Monkey Temple, walking distance:) . Also, you can easily move around with Pathao app, no big trouble. The beautiful house is located in a quiet residential area, which just few steps to many eateries and groceries around. The room I got was spotlessly cleaned, supper comfy mattress and a cute balcony. Hot water was excellent tooo!! What i love most tho is the hosts, Mira, her husband and her fur baby are all so warm and lovely. She made me breakfast and dinner, which were all very yummm. They also recommended me some good local restaurants and they were all spot on. I enjoyed conversations with them alot and you learn abit more about amazing Nepal. Thank you so much for the wonderful accommodation and hospitality!

I recently stayed at Zen Nest during my trip to Nepal, and it was an incredible experience. The location is perfect—right near Thamel and Basantapur, making it easy to explore the city's vibrant nightlife. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the room was clean and incredibly comfortable. I had an amazing time and will definitely be returning to Zen Nest on my next visit!

I had an excellent experience at Homestay Book Now! From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed by the staff, who were incredibly helpful and friendly. The location is perfect – peaceful yet conveniently close to key attractions and public transport. The room was cozy and spotlessly clean, with all the amenities I needed to feel at home. I especially appreciated the attention to detail in the decor and the comfortable bed – I had one of the best night’s sleep in a long time! The free Wi-Fi and breakfast were also great perks, offering a good start to the day. The hosts were very responsive and went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed during my stay. Whether it was local recommendations or helping with transportation, they made the whole experience seamless. I would highly recommend this homestay to anyone looking for a charming, comfortable, and affordable place to stay. I will definitely return next time I'm in the area!

The homestay is located in a very nice residential area, fully served. The room was big and the view over the mountains was stunning! The place also has a lovely rooftop where we had a beer with view 🙂 The very plus of the stay is absolutely the kindness of the host family ♥️, smiling, kind and always helpful with local advices about where to go and where to eat. They also managed to give us special trekking advices. We are definitely going to come back, as soon as we will be in Kathmandu again to catch up our flight.
