Tise Hotel is a recently renovated guest house in Kathmandu where guests can make the most of its garden and shared lounge. This property offers access to a terrace and free private parking.

The young people working here are fantastic, very service oriented, caring, helpful and friendly. This is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at in my four trips to Nepal. It’s also great that it’s a six minute walk to the Boudhanath Stupa. The food was delicious, the rooms clean and the shower was hot (in the afternoon. I did not try it in the morning.)

રોકાણ ખૂબ જ સારું હતું, આ મારો પહેલો અનુભવ હતો પણ કાકા અને કાકીએ મને દીકરા જેવો વ્યવહાર કર્યો, કાઠમંડુમાં ઘરે રહેવાનું શ્રેષ્ઠ હતું, મદદરૂપ થયું, ભોજન એટલું સારું હતું કે જ્યારે હું ગુજરાત આવીશ ત્યારે મને સુદર્શન કાકા અને કાકીની યાદ આવશે, આભાર.

Nirvana Kuti offers accommodations in Kathmandu, 1.6 miles from Swayambhu and 2.2 miles from Swayambhunath Temple.

I stayed in Nirvana Kuti following the recommendation of Linda, a wonderful woman that I met in Delhi airport. She was indeed accurate: Nirvana Kuti is such a beautiful accomodation, comfortable, clean and pretty new. It was easy to feel home. Besides the comfort of the room, with a big, warm bed, with views to the temple just in front of the house, it is located just a few steps from Durbar square, in a very calm street. I slept extremely well and woke up to the beautiful views. Life is magical and I met Bobby, the owner of Nirvana Kuti, even before my stay. He kindly offered me a ride to Nirvana Kuti, and he made it very easy for me to feel home. Even more, he also allowed me to stay a bit longer because my bus was leaving in the evening. I appreciate Bobby's kindness and the beautiful taste in which the house is built. It is both comfortable and stylish, and the location couldn't be better. Thank you Bobby for making of my last days in Kathmandu (for this time) a beautiful experience and see you next time ♡

    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.
