Manamaiju Homestay & Hotel  

In the peaceful Manamaiju neighborhood of Kathmandu, about 3.3–4 km from Thamel and the city center and roughly 9.2 km from the airport. Close to Garden of Dreams, Narayanhity Palace Museum, Temples of the Elements and Karmaraja Mahavihara — a handy, family-friendly budget homestay base.

A family-run homestay spread over three floors with a warm, simple vibe. Rooms range from private en-suite options to shared triple rooms; many guestrooms feature kitchens and in-room TVs, and daily housekeeping keeps things tidy.

Free 24-hour Wi-Fi, a rooftop terrace and barbecue grills set the scene. Rent bicycles, book city tours at the desk, use on-site laundry and dry cleaning, and enjoy free self-parking; a roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. There’s a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and in-room safes for convenience.

An on-site restaurant and a coffee shop serve local cuisine and coffee, with home-cooked meals available. Room service is offered during limited hours.
