I spent 7 nights at Swotha while attending a conference. Its really great, and good value for what you get. A beautiful renovation of an old Newari house that gets the balance between traditional and modern simplicity just right. Clean, spacious, bright and elegant bedrooms with a modern ensuite. A very peaceful sunny breakfast room to enjoy your delicous breakfast... More

OK, so it's not completely fair to call something 'tops' when I haven't stayed everywhere in the Kathmandu Valley, but it's hard to imagine a better place for ambience, friendliness, location, and cleanliness. I stayed at Traditional Homes Swotha for a total of seven or eight nights at three different times during a month in Nepal. The location is superb,... More

If you are looking for some special experience in Nepal, you should not miss this place! Although I have stayed at many different hotels and guesthouses in Nepal, I found this place really special as this hotel has global-standards facilities, still you can enjoy the real atmosphere of exotic local Nepali life. In the morning, when I woke up from... More

We stayed at Traditional Home-Swotha for 2 nights at the end of a 2 1/2 week Nepal trip. We had the opportunity to stay in 3 areas in Kathmandu at different times during our trip and TH-Swotha and Patan were our favorites! Camille & her staff were welcoming and very helpful with restaurant, shopping and transportation suggestions. We loved the... More

We really enjoyed the comfort and cleanliness of Traditional Homes. the spaciousness and airiness was unexpected and very welcome. The bathrooms was very good and we had hot water quite a luxury for us at times on our trip to Nepal. The hotel was well located and it was really good to get back there at night away from the...

A friend of the architect who renovated this delightful guest house recommended it to me as the ideal place to recuperate for a couple of days, and discover a less frantic Kathmandu after an intense conference experience in another part of town. Booking was easy and done with grace and generosity (and a nice little discount!); I arrived at 10pm... More

We stayed at Traditional Homes Swotha over New Year 2011/12 for 6 nights. The house is in traditional style and has been sympathetically renovated. The room was spacious, with comfortable furniture, lovely linen bedding and fresh towels every day. The bathroom was modern, fully functioning and enough warm water. Camille and the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. A fresh... More

After landing in Patan early one morning without any guest house booking it was suggested we take a look at Traditional Homoes Swotha by an unassuming shopkeeper standing on a corner. After perusing the rooms my wife and I took one look at each other knowing we couldn't stay anywhere else. The rooms were elegantly but simply appointed, maintaining the... More

We had already checked into a different guesthouse when we -by chance- stumbled over this new property just around the corner of magnificent Durbar Square in Patan. We found Swotha Homes so appealing to us that we decided to immediately get our luggage and stay there only. The interiors of the home are a combination of old Newari architecture and... More
