Rated 9.5 Exceptional on Airbnb and Booking.com from 100+ verified reviews.
Feel comfortable like our home, nearby community is very lovely, helpful, kind, supportive and safe. Clean environment. The owner is super host: welcoming; helping, guiding like hosting to old good friends. The reviews from booking.com for this apartment are very genuine, we certified those reviews indeed. We will definitely come back again.
The location is brilliant for Triten Norbutse Monastery and other great places. The room was clean and well-arranged. There was a heater in my studio. In bigger rooms, there is air conditioning. The view from the roof is beautiful. The hotel has good security arrangements in place.
Really loved this property! The owner definitely made it a nice and comfortable stay. The views from the location are absolutely beautiful. It really felt like home. I would recommend anyone to come for a stay you will definitely enjoy!
I loved my stay here so much first time around, that, after my four days in Pokhara, I came back for another stay. Feels like home. I love it here. Highly, highly recommended.
Great location, much quieter than the centre and a nice neighborhood. The owner, Dadhi, was very welcoming and showed me to two local restaurants nearby, both were very good. Great views from the rooftop and a nice place to relax. Room was clean and had everything I needed.
This place is really wonderful. You have your own private apartment with everything you need. It's in a peaceful location near the edge of Kathmandu and the jungle. The balcony and rooftop upstairs have tons of space and nice views of the city. It's 5 star treatment for an affordable price. The owner is always ready to help.
Best place I have stayed, everything was provided, kitchen well equipped, water was supplied at no extra cost, nice washing machine which was useful as I was there 21 days. The host was most welcoming, nothing was too much trouble for him. It was more like a family atmosphere. Definitely a place I would go back to.
Mr. Dadhi, the owner, personally met me to give the keys and show the apartment facilities which are well equipped, impeccable cleanliness and there is nothing to need as everything was provided. Very comfortable and safe place to stay with a very responsive property owner. It is indeed, a perfect stay!
The environment was very quiet and the air was fresh. The accommodation was excellent, clean and tidy, and we could cook our own meals. The hosts were kind and gentle, and provided a lot of help during our stay. Thank you so much!
I absolutely loved my stay here! The neighborhood is peaceful, clean, and you can actually breathe fresh air, a real oasis in Kathmandu. The accommodation is modern and up to European standards, honestly, it feels like staying in a 4-star hotel in Germany. I'll definitely be coming back!
