Good location. Clean room. Beautiful terrace. The hosts are super friendly and always willing to help when there's a problem.

I had a great stay at Tanani Newa Home, the host Shova and Dinesh were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is located inside an courtyard off the streets so they picked me up there and walked me to the hotel and when also personally walked me off and helped me get in a taxi to the airport. The rooms are clean and and has just all you need. The hotel is perfectly located at a walking distance to Patan Durbar square, so I got a chance to walk the streets of Patan and explore a little, building up the excitement until I reached Durbar. Staying there made my experience in Kathmandu wonderful, I definitely recommend staying there!

Amazing experience here! Dinesh & Shova are lovely people, very welcoming and super helpful. Dinesh took some time to show us Durbar Square and we learned a lot! The location is perfect to visit everything. The room was very spacious, confortable and clean. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much for your hospitality and hope to see you again soon!

Shova, the host was very welcoming and kind. She checked in with me as she was worried if I was sick in the room since she didn't see me the whole day but I actually just went out very early. The room was clean and spacious. The location was quite centered.

The room and bathroom were very spacious, clean and comfortable. The hosts are the most kind people, always available for questions or a friendly chat. The location right next to Patan Dhoka is ideal to start your walking tour through the city. As a bonus: the wifi was very fast, and there is a rooftop terrace with great view!

Honestly nothing "bad" or "problematic," but some unexpected cultural differences that I wish I knew beforehand so I'll share to help others be better prepared (this was my first time in Nepal). You take your shoes off when inside the home, so maybe bring slip on shoes and your own slippers (there are some community slippers you can borrow as well, which is what I did). The no-shoes-policy is common in other homes and offices, so this could serve you well throughout your time in Nepal. In December it could get chilly outside, and, like most buildings in the Kathmandu area, there is no central heating. I recommend planning on wearing warmer clothes when in the room (there is also a space heater and hot water bottle available if you need them -- and, like I mentioned before, you can take a hot shower). Also, like many Nepali establishments, there is an extra fee (I think 4%) for using a credit card -- paying in rupees with no fee at a good exchange rate is also an option. There is an ATM nearby, but since there is a 25,000 rupee limit for each withdrawal (max 1 lakh (100,000) per day; this is a Nepali rule for all ATMs) you should plan ahead if you want to pay in cash.

I highly recommend staying at Tanani Newa Home. I here for 4 weeks in late 2023. The hosts Shova and Dinesh graciously advised me on a variety of things to make my stay easier. My room was spacious and clean, and the roof terrace has wonderful views of Kathmandu and the mountains. The location is FANTASTIC. The home is at the back of a quiet square close to Patandhoka, an area known for its momo. You are about a 10 minute walk from Patan Durbar Square and a 10 minute drive to Kathmandu. I walked almost everywhere. The airport is close -- about 30 minutes in traffic, 15 minutes in the middle of the day -- but far enough away that you don't hear planes flying overhead. Shova can help you arrange for taxis to the airport (or anywhere else around Kathmandu) for a better price than the pre-paid taxi service and much more reliable than the InDrive app. Some other helpful logisitics: the area has lots of good food options (most places are cash only, but are cheaper and just as good as fancier options elsewhere). I used the family's kitchen for some light cooking too. I borrowed a pot and cooking utensils, and could store some leftovers in the fridge. I had brought a tupperware, bowl, plate, and eating utensils with me, but they offered to loan me some too. There is a microwave to reheat the leftovers. My room had a hot water kettle, which I used to boil water for drinking and tea/coffee. Bhat-Bhateni, a local super market chain, is also about a 10 minute walk away. There is a large washing machine available (a small fee per load), with plenty of clothesline space on the roof and in the Nepali sun everything dried within a day. There is no dryer (which was fine with me, just FYI). They have a solar water heater on the roof terrace that produced really hot water, a luxury I hadn't anticipated but really appreciated for showers. Overall, I want to emphasize that this is a really great place to stay, and I plan on going there again whenever I go back to...
