Hanuman Dhoka is 8.6 km from the homestay, while Kathmandu Durbar Square is 9.2 km from the property. The nearest airport is Tribhuvan International, 1 km from Diamond Home Stay - Private Rooms, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

I was a little apprehensive at first as this was my first time in Kathmandu and I was on my own but the whole family were unbelievably kind, caring, helpful & accommodating right from the start. They immediately made me feel so comfortable. They even showed me cool spots around the city which tourists wouldn't get to usually see / know of and were always quick to recommend other lesser known / less touristy places to visit / eat as well as the major cites. They even offer a full tour of the city at an exceptionally good price which includes transport. Whenever I were to message they would respond instantly with the utmost help. I also loved going up to the terrace in the mornings to stretch and soak up the morning sun - it really gave a really great perspective of the city and was very peaceful. The house was very quiet in the evenings and everyone was very respectful. Last but not least the price was exceptionally good value for money. I can't recommend this place enough. Being slightly further out from the very centre of the city (still close enough), I felt, gave me a much more authentic experience of the city where I could integrate myself more easily with the locals and form more genuine authentic connections with them.

    The place has a pretty nice rooftop where you'll meet a bunch of fellow travelers as well as some locals. Free water refill and towels if you ask them. Staff was friendly and help you out with information to get around. Beds have curtains and I slept well overall. The hostel is quite well-located in the heart of Thamel. I can recommend this place if you're okay with very basic bathroom facilities.
