I had a wonderful time during my stay with Nit and Chamelee.Stepping into the third month in Nepal, I was looking for something less crowded than the tourist area, yet still easy to get around and not too far from the city center. Peace Homestay checked all the boxes.As I am also working, Nir offered to provide a table and chair for me to be able to work from inside my room.I also enjoyed the breakfast and dinner experience; it felt like home.I definitely recommend everyone to stay there while in Kathmandu.

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 location was great! 10 minute walk to Swayambhunath. It was quiet at night. The host was a wonderful gentleman. I had spent 3 months in Nepal and my last two nights were at this spot. If I’m lucky enough to be able to visit Kathmandu again I’ll certainly stay here.

The house is a tranquil oasis in a busy city. It’s not in the tourist neighborhood, so I got to see the daily life of Kathmandu residents. The hosts are kind and helpful, and the cleanliness and comfort are impeccable. I will return on my way back through Kathmandu!

I recently stayed at Zen Nest during my trip to Nepal, and it was an incredible experience. The location is perfect—right near Thamel and Basantapur, making it easy to explore the city's vibrant nightlife. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the room was clean and incredibly comfortable. I had an amazing time and will definitely be returning to Zen Nest on my next visit!

    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.
