I assure you that you can please yourself at this wonderful hostel!! I'd love to come back this place in my future, and I recommend my friends who would visit Kathmandu! - Mira & Sudarshan's warm hospitality and thoughtful personalities were commendable. They welcomed me as a real family, and I felt like staying in the real home. I could enjoy chatting with them and other guest over tea or dinner. Following my request, they offered cooking lessons so that I could learn how to cook some traditional Nepali meals (Dal Soup, Curry etc.). I was more than happy, and I'm sure that I would cook after I go back! - Entire building were always well cleaned. Rooms were spacious enough and very clean. - Air-conditioning and hot water were available in the room although it is not so common in Kathmandu. - Small kitchen equipped with plates, cutlery, pan etc. in the room were helpful for me to cook by myself although mostly you can order amazing food :) - Home-made meals were very tasty. They cooked following my preference all the time. ex.) allergy, spicy level, preference of veg etc. - The power went out several times, but there were back up ight in the room, and also wi-fi was available even during the blackout thanks to the backup power. It was soo helpful for me and there was no stress! (blackout happens anywhere in Kathmandu, then you cany blame this place at all :)) - When I had some problems, they were always supporting me very kindly. - There was a cozy rooftop, where you can enjoy great view and fresh air. - This hostel is located in a bit suburb (takes about one hour walk from the central Thamel), but you can find many small shops around. Personally I found several cute cafes around and enjoyed my time there with coffee or tea! I loved them!

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.
