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.

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!

I loved my stay at Laxmi and would go back there again! The location is great- it's 2 min walk from Durbar Square with a great rooftop view and right next to different cafes and restaurants. The room was comfortable, clean and modern. The highlight was Navin- the owner. He's very keen on sharing his culture, he showed me different temples around the city, told many interesting stories and shared information about Nepal and Newari culture. If you want to have breakfast at the hotel, it's tasty and a big portion.

We stayed three nights and were surprised about the quietness, the good food, the view, and the friendlyness of the owners. We highly recommend staying and would come back any time. It is better to stay here then in Nagarkot. In the morning you can see sometimes monkeys while enjoying delicious breakfast. We went for good hikes and enjoyed the nature around. The rooms are big with big windows to see the birds and squirells. Kessab is a fantastic cook and very accomodating. Thank you so much for having us!

A very clean and comfortable room and bathroom in a good location plus an excellent breakfast. The outstanding element is the warmth, friendliness, helpfulness and kindness of the hosts Sugat and Roshani, they went above and beyond our expectations in help and advice during our stay, helping with a Nepali SIM card, topping it up for us, telling us where best to exchange currency, booking the bus to Pokhara for us when we had difficulty with the bus website, suggesting restaurants, sites to visit, organizing a taxi to nargakot, endless kindness. We also ate at the restaurant they have in Patan called the jacaranda, excellent food, a lovely setting and good prices. We can highly recommend other travelers to stay at the Swagat Homestay.

Mums Homestay & Studio Apartment-A Real Homestay Experience

The building is not in the center of Kathmandu, but the distance is compensated by the tranquility of the neighborhood (much less noisy than the center of Kathmandu) and the hospitality of the owners. Mira is also an excellent cook. For example, it makes amazing soups. As Kathmandu's attractions are located in several scattered areas of the valley, it is a good base for exploring the region using an app on your cell phone to call cheap taxis or motorbikes. It is also possible to reach the center of Kathmandu by bus. We ended up staying longer than originally expected. We quickly felt at home. If you need, the hosts also help plan your visit to Kathmandu or other areas of Nepal.

This is a perfectly situated, comfortable homestay run by lovely people. It had the bonus of a kitchen, which I think would have been a great social space usually though we were there a little out of the busy season.

I had a great stay at Traditional Newari Homestay. I can recommend everyone to stay here. Dinesh and his wife do everything to offer you a pleasant stay. They are always ready to help. They also offered to store my luggage when I went trekking. I returned to Traditional Newari Homestay several times during my stay in Nepal. The homestay is characteristic and has spacious rooms. The homestay makes you feel like you are at home. They provide a delicious varied breakfast and cook tasty evening meals. Thank you Dinesh and his wife!

The homestay owners are one of the kindest people I've ever met in the world. I'd go back to Nepal just to stay with them again. I highly recommend this place, and experience the warmness and excellent hospitality of this home. It's a home away from home. You become family.

I booked this place before and had to come back. The owners are the most loving, caring people I have met during my travels. I call them my Nepali Family. I always felt home, secure and happy. The house is beautiful, clean and the Nepali food, freshly cooked by Mira herself, delicious! We had regular BBQ sessions on the rooftop, with a view over Kathmandu, which was a highlight. I can definitely recommend this homestay to all individual or group travelers looking to stay in Kathmandu.
