Situated just 2.7 km from Pashupatinath, Swagat homestay offers accommodation in Kathmandu with access to a garden, a shared lounge, as well as luggage storage space.

I had a lovely time staying at this homestay. Sugat and Roshani are amazing hosts and made me feel very comfortable, and they are great to chat to in the mornings over breakfast. They also kindly kept my luggage safe while I went trekking. It’s a beautiful house in a nice relaxed neighbourhood. It’s also very close to the airport so a perfect place to stay after or before a flight.

Featuring mountain views, Nirvana Kuti provides accommodation with a terrace, around 100 metres from Kathmandu Durbar Square.

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 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.
