It was one of the best stays for me. The family is very welcoming and smiling, moreover they were eager to share their culture. They speak good English, so it was quite interesting to talk to them and ask many needy questions! Somehow I thought my room would be darker, but really it had a big window and a lot of sun coming through, so that was really great. The room and facilities were super clean, + bed and blanket were extra comfy and warm, so I really felt as I was at home :) I also enjoyed their dal bhat, that they offer for a reasonable extra price, and even missing it now as I am writing the review. I had to do laundry, and the owner took me to a place where I can do that, which is about a few mins walk away. They also proposed to take me to nearby shops, since it was tough to coordinate myself first. And they also offer trekking services, therefore you don't have to worry about your Homestay is out of the city center, which is perfect for me, because I was working remotely. You can walk or get a cheap Indrive (it was around 70-90 NPR for me) to Thamel, and this way you will enjoy the fun ride as an adventure :) And it was peaceful, and they have a roof terrace where you can chill and enjoy the mountains view. I recommend the place 100%.

Bobby is an excellent, caring and friendly host,he picked me up from the bus stop, waiting patiently as traffic held us up. A ride on the back of his motorbike to the hotel was great fun! Room spacious, double and single beds, wardrobe, chair and table, several power points, clothes stand. Directly outside the room is a wash basin, shower room and toilet next door, plus kitchen with kettle. Each guest is on a seperate floor, so very private.

A very clean and comfortable room and bathroom in a good location plus an excellent breakfast. The outstanding element is the warmth, friendliness, helpfulness and kindness of the hosts Sugat and Roshani, they went above and beyond our expectations in help and advice during our stay, helping with a Nepali SIM card, topping it up for us, telling us where best to exchange currency, booking the bus to Pokhara for us when we had difficulty with the bus website, suggesting restaurants, sites to visit, organizing a taxi to nargakot, endless kindness. We also ate at the restaurant they have in Patan called the jacaranda, excellent food, a lovely setting and good prices. We can highly recommend other travelers to stay at the Swagat Homestay.
