Featuring mountain views, Nirvana Kuti provides accommodation with a terrace, around 100 metres from Kathmandu Durbar Square. Among the facilities at this property are full-day security and a housekeeping service, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation offers private check-in and check-out, and currency exchange for guests.

Hanuman Dhoka is 300 metres from the guest house, while Swayambhu is 2.5 km away. The nearest airport is Tribhuvan International Airport, 8 km from Nirvana Kuti.

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!

All units at the guest house are fitted with a seating area. Every unit comes with a wardrobe and a TV, and some units at the guest house have a balcony. At the guest house, all units have bed linen and towels.

The hotel is literally a stone's throw away from Hyatt. I was attending a conference there so staying here meant I didn't have to shell out on taxi. The staff were polite and courteous. It made my stay even more pleasant. The room was great - comfy bed, clean bathroom, and free breakfast. Bonus: the hotel is located less than a kilometer from Boudhanath.

Featuring free WiFi and a terrace with views of the Swayambhu Stupa, Swayambhu View Guest House offers accommodation in Kathmandu. Free private parking is available on site.

Swayambhu is 600 metres from Swayambhu View Guest House, while Kathmandu Durbar Square is 2 km away. The nearest airport is Tribhuvan Airport, 7 km from the property.

This is a great place to stay, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Spotlessly clean, in a very quiet and peaceful location. Wonderful view from the roof top towards the valley and Swayambhu Stupa. We enjoyed our evening in the garden. The owners are very nice people with a gentle character of hospitality. The locally sourced breakfast in nearby BIA cafe was impeccable. This may have been the first time we stayed here, it certainly won't be the last! Will come back again after our trip from the mountains.

    Great location within walking distance or a cheap taxi ride to Thamel, but set back from the road so the courtyard/garden area is quiet and relaxing. Excellent, friendly service from the staff, particularly Kishore the manager at the front desk, and Poornima, the manager for the dining area.

    everything was good. the host was friendly and they offer yummy food and not too expensive. the room was clean with wifi. the monastery is just a 5 min walk from the guesthouse. to be honest to me it’s not a quiet place. actually it was a bit noisy due to plans flying over the area and noises from the road and village. but I am used to true stillness, so that’s why I felt like this. thank you for the stay! I anyways would definitely recommend the place

    If you like it a little quieter and away from the noisy city center, this is the place for you. Great location on the outskirts of town, with quick access to lots of great little gates and eateries. The host family is very nice and helpful, offering food and drinks and assisting with tour planning. it doesn’t feel like one is away from home, indeed it’s a home away from home. we stayed 15 nights, was very worth it. 🤝👌
