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!

My stay in this beautiful guesthouse was incredible! Lovely spacious room with huge windows overlooking the Kathmandu valley and surrounding hills. There’s also an easy access to the rooftop with the stunning sunrise/sunset views🥰. In good weather you could see the snowy mountains tops from out there! Clean restroom with hot water. Nice well equipped kitchen, fridge. All the dishes, cups, silverware and pots are present. Little well kept garden was full of flowers in spring! Property is generally very well maintained and looked after with the great love and attention to the details. Neighborhood is quiet and safe. A short taxi ride to Thamel and 7 min walk to the main entrance to Swayambhu (monkey temple). The owners of the guesthouse Valeria and Alex are extremely friendly and helpful! I’m very grateful for this fabulous stay!

Set in Bijeshwori Swayambhu Marg, STUPA VIEW INN features a garden, terrace and free WiFi. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a restaurant. The tour desk is available to assist guests in planning their days out.

The hospitality of Boss Rishi and on-site Staffs siblings; Saroj and Muna are what made this cold wintry stay particularly pleasant and warm😁. Muna’s a great cook 👍🏻 Initial booking for 3 nights, extended till a month. Love Swayambunath Stupa view from the room where I can do my prayers in comfort of room indoors and outdoors at balcony.

    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. 🤝👌
