    This is a genuinely exceptional homestay experience. Minutes walk from the Lalitpur/Patan Durbar Square in a beautiful traditional house. Dinesh was a really friendly and interesting host who made us feel very at home. Would absolutely come back and recommend! Thank you for accommodating us with vegan breakfasts and taking care of our laundry.

    I'm 5'4". 20 yrs old, mideum sized with no other issues as such. Also, a nepalese citizen. These are the problems that don't concern me AT ALL. ( These might be helpful for someone who is particularly from the west or a foreigner) 1. My room If you're above 5'9", height might be a concern. The house features a traditional Newari aesthetic with a black, white, and red color palette. While the red carpets covering the floors may feel overwhelming to some, they align with the theme. The mirror is large but doesn't accommodate full-length reflections. The duvet matches typical Nepalese homes, complementing the homestay's style. However, Western guests accustomed to bouncy beds might find the firmer setup a slight adjustment. 2. Washroom If you are US 6XL + you won't fit properly. even though it's a shared washroom, it's very clean. Trust me guys when i tell you this, the quality of your stay also depends on YOU. if you're not willing to be clean or hygienic or respectful of the people around you, it won't work out for you. I used the "shared bathroom" over 10 to 15 times, no issues!! 3. The place overall The stairs, while traditional and fitting the aesthetic, might be challenging for guests over 60( in terms of age) or those with knee issues, especially when moving between the kitchen and rooms. As a homestay, there are no additional staff beyond reception, so guests may need to manage tasks like moving luggage on their own. ( This place is the exact description of what the name says, you will have an authentic experience, my stay was 9.0 stars, you can rely on me heavily ;) )

    1. My room The room features soft, cushiony carpeting and a comfortable bed with soft pillows and a warm cotton blanket. There's a cupboard, a clothes-hanging area, an armchair, and a good-sized mirror for getting ready. An indoor plant on the desk adds a pleasant visual touch. Essentials like a water bottle, mosquito repellent, tissue paper, and a dustbin are provided. The room is spacious, well-ventilated with four windows (as I recall), and the lighting, especially the aesthetically pleasing lamp, is comforting and beautiful. 2. Washroom The bathroom is shared but clean, with a hand wash, a well-sized basin, and a well-lit mirror. Basic toiletries and a hand towel are provided. The toilet functions well without clogging, and the bidet works efficiently. While I didn’t take a shower, the tap runs smoothly for washing feet, and warm water is available in one of the bathrooms downstairs. They also give a tour of the facilities, so everything is well-explained. 3. Kitchen This place is owned by a family meaning a host family takes care of you while also them living there with You. That means, you have food with them on the same table, they wash the dishes that you eat in after you finish. They serve you with warm water if you're feeling cold. How nice is that? :) There are a lot of plants and photo frames on the wall on the table, it is very warm and comfortable. 4. Location This place is in patan. Heart of kathmandu, which i felt because my work was near from this place around. Right in the middle, very close to gwarko and gwarko is right next to koteshwor. ( That is like a hub, a middle ground tbh) but still, it is very quiet inside, just the right place if you would ask me. 5. Family They are very sweet, they will take care of you as if you never left home, it's refreshing too see new smiles after a tiring day. They are very friendly and open minded.

    It's an old and traditional building. That means it's cool and has character, but be aware that the ceilings are quite low (even for me--I'm only 5'8") so you have to be very careful not to bump your head.

    Super cute bed and breakfast hosted by friendly Dinesh and his small daughter. Lovely rooftop terrace.

    Everything was fine, really. For those who want to party in Thamel this might be a bit far, but as I said, I wouldn't sleep in Thamel at any cost :)

    Very quiet location considering you are in busy Kathmandu, wouldn't change to Thamel. Very nice helpful host and his cute family. Very clean facilities, very comfortable matrasses - we slept like babies. Excellent full breakfast. 🍳🥛☕🥭

    Great people in a true Newari area, Patan Durbar Square only 5 minute walk, great knowledge and advice on local activities, great cook - breakfast and dinner are always excellent, big rooms and comfortable beds, easy access via InDrive to all Kathmandu Valley locations. Close to KTM international airport, but quiet.
