I had a truly wonderful stay at this Kattel homestay. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. Everything was perfectly maintained, clean, and comfortable. The surroundings were peaceful, creating the ideal setting for a relaxing day. It was truly a delightful experience, and I would gladly return for another stay.

Good facility with plenty of solar powered hot water, clean, well situated at the center if Kathmandu, away from the more touristy Thamel, very safe. A genuine Nepalese experience in a great neighbourhood. I stayed February/March 2025 and only left because it was fully booked beyond the dates I initially booked. Im hopeful its available next trip! Bobby owns and operates the place and made my stay awesome, picked me up from the airport and took me to many places it would have been difficult to arrange to go to; showed me all the essential shops in the area (theres a great convenience store downstairs) and gave me many tips on how to navigate the city's peculiarities. Thanks, Bobby! See you next year!

My stay in this place was excellent. Extremely friendly staff and I got upgraded to a very beautiful room with a private bathroom and amazing view. I loved the shower with hot water and the view from the rooftop. My host was all the time there, smiling and helping me with everything. I really recommend this hotel. It was my best deal between price and quality in Nepal with the best attention.

We came to Kathmandu by night bus and checking in early in the morning was not an issue at all. Very nice and helpful family. We got the room on the rooftop which is very beautiful. The bathroom seemed pretty new.

clean rooms in a nice house halfway to the airport. A good option to stay closer to the airport while getting a break from the touristy craziness in Thamel

We stayed in a suite and it was absolutely fantastic. Lovely furnished, with a style, spacious, clean, and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing, the stuff lovely, and the place is located close to the stupa but it’s quiet. I would definitely stay again. Additionally, the foundation does a lot of humanitarian work which I was happy to support.

Lovely hotel, staff so friendly and helpful. Hotel was clean and comfy and the breakfasts so good. It was so central to the tourist hub but the hotel itself was more among locals which we liked.
