Amazing place to stay in the center of Kathmandu ! Very close to Durbar square, Thamel and other sites of interest. A great thing is that the house is on a small square with a pagoda wich has a very laidback atmosphere and friendly neighbors. There is a kitchen corner with a supply of clean water in the house wich is fabulous. I highly recommend staying here if you plan to visit Kathmandu !

The room and toilet were clean and odorless, the mattress was firm enough, and the pillowcases and sheets were so white that I couldn't bear to dirty them! Breakfast was provided and nutritionally balanced. The hotel itself was clean and tidy, with a Buddhist temple and a small park for meditation and walking. It was about a ten-minute walk from the Mangwan Pagoda. I would choose this accommodation next time.The most important thing is that the hotel has air conditioning, so you don't have to worry about being overheated in the summer.

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.

    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%.
