This is an incredible place to stay! I have been fortunate to travel to many places over the years and this is one of the most genuine experiences I have had. It is based in a local area, a lot more calm than busy Thamel and gives you more insight into how local people in Kathmandu live. You can walk into Thamel or can get a taxi/bike easily with the inDrive app. The rooms are comfortable, there is very good wifi and there is an incredible view from the rooftop. Nir and his family will really look after you, but at the same time give you as much space as you need to do your own thing. They will make it feel like your home where you can relax and whatever you do, try their meals in their kitchen…..you will not regret it! I thoroughly recommend a stay at peace homestay.

Nirvana Kuti

Kathmandu

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

Having come eight times to Kathmandu, Nirvana Kuti is the best place I ever stayed in Kathmandu: Just a few steps south of Durbar Square, you can enjoy authentic life of the city - so close and at the same time so far away from the tourist area. This place and neighbourhood feels completely safe also for solo women travellers. During the day, the street is bustling, during the night it is completely calm. The house is newly built, the room is nicely designed, the lamps give a warm light and the beds are very comfortable. Everything is spotless clean. The WC with shower (solar heated water) is private and you can also enjoy a small kitchen for making tea or coffee. Even drinking water is provided! There is a safe possibility for leaving your luggage while trekking (2 dollars/day). The owner is very friendly, speaking excellent English, he is extremely helpful and responsive to your questions and demands. You can also book a pick-up from the airport. NIrvana Kuti is the ideal place for independant travellers, I am looking forward to come back as soon as possible!

What a wholesome place! The room was clean, tidy and comfortable, warm blankets. There was a family rooftop with an awesome view. The best of of course was the host itself, who was very friendly, answered any questions, open for conversation and sharing his culture. On the next day me and my friends were even invited to join his family for a festival. Couldn't get more local! Everything was good. But don't expect an extremely fancy shower or so like in a hotel. You are staying in place where local people live. And you will find everything you need! What could be better than that.

The homestay was amazing. The view is spectacular, you can see the sunrise and the beautiful mountains. The food at the homestay was incredibly good! We really loved it. And it was so affordable too. We stayed for 2 nights and wished we could’ve stayed longer but it was already booked out. There even goes a bus right from the house to Kathmandu (8:30) and to Bhaktapur (8:45) every day. Other than that you have to walk to the homestay from the bus park which takes around 20 minutes. The rooms were very clean and the ones with an attached bathroom were only built in this year, so everything is very new. It’s still very simple though. But that’s what it is about. It’s an experience close to the Nepali lifestyle and the family was happy to show us their way of life which was very cool. We really liked our stay here and would definitely come back!

This is a perfectly situated, comfortable homestay run by lovely people. It had the bonus of a kitchen, which I think would have been a great social space usually though we were there a little out of the busy season.

I had a great stay at Traditional Newari Homestay. I can recommend everyone to stay here. Dinesh and his wife do everything to offer you a pleasant stay. They are always ready to help. They also offered to store my luggage when I went trekking. I returned to Traditional Newari Homestay several times during my stay in Nepal. The homestay is characteristic and has spacious rooms. The homestay makes you feel like you are at home. They provide a delicious varied breakfast and cook tasty evening meals. Thank you Dinesh and his wife!

The homestay owners are one of the kindest people I've ever met in the world. I'd go back to Nepal just to stay with them again. I highly recommend this place, and experience the warmness and excellent hospitality of this home. It's a home away from home. You become family.

I booked this place before and had to come back. The owners are the most loving, caring people I have met during my travels. I call them my Nepali Family. I always felt home, secure and happy. The house is beautiful, clean and the Nepali food, freshly cooked by Mira herself, delicious! We had regular BBQ sessions on the rooftop, with a view over Kathmandu, which was a highlight. I can definitely recommend this homestay to all individual or group travelers looking to stay in Kathmandu.
