Amazing homestay. We stayed a week and we will be coming back. If you want to get out of Thamel it's the place to be. Locals shop, local food. The family are super nice, really attentive. We felt like we are home every time we arrived back. I recommend 100%.

Bobby is an excellent, caring and friendly host,he picked me up from the bus stop, waiting patiently as traffic held us up. A ride on the back of his motorbike to the hotel was great fun! Room spacious, double and single beds, wardrobe, chair and table, several power points, clothes stand. Directly outside the room is a wash basin, shower room and toilet next door, plus kitchen with kettle. Each guest is on a seperate floor, so very private. Sat up on the roof terrace in the sun one morning too. Central position, 2 minutes from Durbar Square, plenty of local shops including a supermarket next door to the hotel.

If you like it a little quieter and away from the noisy city center, this is the place for you. Great location on the outskirts of town, with quick access to lots of great little gates and eateries. The host family is very nice and helpful, offering food and drinks and assisting with tour planning. it doesn’t feel like one is away from home, indeed it’s a home away from home. we stayed 15 nights, was very worth it. 🤝👌

Everything was perfect. I loved staying there. The staff was helpful and accommodating. The breakfast was nutritious and delicious! The location is fantastic. I was very happy to join the morning and evening puja. They have kataks, special teas and incense made by the nuns for sale. Perfect as offerings or gifts.

The owner and the staff were incredibly helpful and very welcoming. They were always ready to answer questions and give directions and even recommended a good restaurant and timing for momo. The owner also helped me to book the tourist bus without charging any commission. The room was simple but very clean and well-maintained. I love my short stay here. I will definitely reserve a stay here if I ever visit Kathmandu again.

    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.
