The host, Nir, is very friendly and accommodating. Takes care of anything you need and cooks authentic Nepalese food for dinner every night. He also used to be a trekking guide and has a trekking agency. Was very helpful giving us travel information on Nepal.

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.

Mira and Sudarshan were lovely hosts and we felt very much at home with them! Our rooftop room was very comfortable and there was plenty of space for two people. The bathroom was clean and had hot water. If you're looking for a more personal experience where you can spend time with the hosts and other guests, choose Mum's. We miss them already!

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!

    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.
