Company information

Mums Homestay was officially opened in 2016 With three Rooms for guests but they extended and now has 6 rooms including two studio apartments. Mums Homestay is “cozy, boutique / home-stay” rather than a large hotel chain. Warm, personalized hospitality and “mum-like” care: Their own philosophy emphasizes building a welcoming, home-style atmosphere rather than a cold, impersonal hotel feel. A small and intimate setting: With only about 6 rooms, it’s unlikely to be crowded or busy like a large hotel — giving a peaceful, quiet stay, suited for travelers who want calm, privacy, and a relaxed vibe. Comfortable amenities despite modest size: Even as a small home-stay/apartment-style stay, rooms are sound-proofed, with comfortable beds, feather-down pillows, private bathrooms, and useful conveniences like a shared kitchen, coffee/tea facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Flexibility and “home away from home” feel: The shared kitchen, common areas, and homely touches make it suitable for longer stays or for guests who value a relaxed, self-sufficient style — rather than just a “bed + hotel services.” Good value & simplicity: You get essential comforts and friendly service without paying for unnecessary “luxury hotel fluff” — which can be especially appealing if you prefer simplicity and authenticity over flashy amenities. This fits the “homestay” ethos. Local feel + easy access to Kathmandu: The location in Nagarjun / Raniban area offers a quieter environment than the busiest city-centre hotels, yet remains within reach of central Kathmandu — a balance many guests appreciate. •A friendly, personal hospitality — you’re likely to be treated more like a welcomed guest or “family friend” rather than just another hotel customer. The “mum-care” philosophy tends to shine through. •A quiet, intimate experience — fewer rooms, a calm neighborhood, and less “hotel bustle.” Great for solo travelers, couples, or anyone wanting peace. •Essential comforts + flexibility — clean rooms, dece.

Property information

Warm, home-like hospitality & friendly hosts: Many customers reviews highlight how welcoming and caring we are .Guests say they “felt like part of the family,” which helped them feel safe and at ease, especially when traveling alone. Mums Home Stay & Studio is not just a place to sleep: We help with practical matters (e.g. luggage storage, trek planning) and often make guests feel looked after. For many travelers, the stay at Mums Homestay becomes more than accommodation — it becomes a kind of “home away from home.” Comfortable, clean, well-equipped rooms & good amenities: Rooms in Mums Homestay and Apartments are often described as “spacious, fresh and clean,” with good beds/mattresses and comfortable bedding. We provides modern amenities that make your stay easy and relaxing — hot water, private bathrooms, sometimes kitchen/microwave, toiletries, and more. Free Wi-Fi, 24-hour services, and conveniences like luggage storage, airport shuttle (on request) add to stress-free stays. Peaceful, quieter location — yet still accessible: The Mums homestay is located in a quiet, leafy / residential-style neighborhood or at least away from the busiest city-center chaos. Many guests appreciate the peace and calm, especially compared with downtown Kathmandu. At the same time, it's still close enough to shops, local amenities, and main attractions — giving a nice balance between calm and convenience. Authentic local and cultural touch — home-cooked meals & real Nepali hospitality: A standout point: home-cooked meals. Many guests love the food, which tends to be homemade, local, and cooked by the host family. This brings a sense of real Nepali hospitality and culture to their stay. Value for money & overall positive guest satisfaction: Guests repeatedly mention that the stay gives great “price-to-quality” value — clean rooms, amenities, hospitality, and comfort at reasonable (or budget-friendly) rates. mely” experience than typical hotel stays.

Neighbourhood information

If you stay at Mums Homestay & Studio Apartments, many guests really like the neighborhood — and for good reason. The area offers a nice balance: calm and slightly away from hectic city-center life, yet close enough to a variety of interesting sights, historic landmarks, and convenient transport. First, one big positive is how close it is to some of Kathmandu’s most iconic spiritual and heritage-rich sites. For example, Swayambhunath Temple (the “Monkey Temple”) is within roughly 2–4 km of the homestay, making it an easy trip on foot or a short ride — so you can soak in panoramic views over the city, Buddhist-Hindu atmosphere, and ancient temples without staying in the city-center bustle. If you’d like a relaxed stroll or a taste of Kathmandu’s colonial-era charm and green respite, you’re also not far from Garden of Dreams — a lovely historical garden with courtyards, lawns, and peaceful spaces. It’s reachable within a short drive from the homestay, which makes this home base well-suited for slowing down, resting, or wandering on a calm afternoon. For culturally curious guests, the home-stay’s proximity to central Kathmandu heritage zones (like Kathmandu Durbar Square / Hanuman Dhoka area) and other historic temples provides easy access to museums, old palaces, ancient architecture, and local art & culture scenes without needing to stay right in the center. Additionally, because the neighborhood is more residential and peaceful than tourist-crowded zones, many guests enjoy a calm, restful vibe after a long day of sightseeing — yet thanks to nearby bus stops (e.g. Gairigaon Bus Station) and transport options, they can still reach central or tourist-heavy areas fairly easily. This makes the homestay a “best of both worlds” kind of location: tranquility + convenience.
