A stylish **two-bedroom apartment ten minutes from Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM)** by taxi — the closest serviced apartment to the terminal that's also genuinely central. On New Plaza, Putalisadak, you're a twelve-minute walk from Thamel and minutes from Durbar Marg, so you don't have to choose between an airport-convenient stay and a real Kathmandu base. Designed for early-morning flights and late arrivals. **Smart-lock self check-in is 24/7** — your door code arrives the day before, so a 2 a.m. landing means walking straight in. No reception desk, no key handover, no wake-up call for the host. Two bedrooms sleep up to four with a queen and a flexible second room (double or twin on request). Fully equipped kitchen with induction hob, oven, fridge-freezer, kettle, coffee setup and basic spices. Fast fibre Wi-Fi for video calls or pre-flight work, air conditioning, 24-hour hot water, inverter back-up for power cuts, and a workspace in the living area. **Book direct and save 10–20%** versus Airbnb and Booking.com platform fees. Stripe accepts Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay and Google Pay; local guests can pay by Nepali bank transfer with a one-hour grace window. Optional **airport pickup** can be arranged via WhatsApp before arrival. ### Ideal for - Layover and stopover guests with early or late flights - Trekking groups checking in pre-expedition or out post-Everest - Business travellers needing a quiet base near the embassy district - Slow travellers and digital nomads on weekly or monthly stays - Families and small groups wanting space without hotel-room pricing ### What's nearby - Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) — 10 min by taxi - Pashupatinath Temple (UNESCO site) — 12 min by taxi - Boudhanath Stupa (UNESCO site) — 15 min by taxi - Thamel — 12 min walk - Durbar Marg shopping street — 5 min walk - Ranipokhari and Royal Palace — 8 min walk

Frequently Asked

What are the check-in and check-out times?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM and check-out is by 11:00 AM. Self check-in via smart lock — your unique door code creation secure link is sent the day before arrival, so you can arrive any time after the check-in window without waiting for a host.

Can I check in early?

Check-in is from 3:00 PM. If your apartment is ready sooner, we'll message you on WhatsApp so you can come in early — but it isn't guaranteed because we need time to turn the apartment over after the previous guest.

Can I drop off luggage before check-in?

Yes — we offer a free self-operated luggage locker that can be accessed 24 hours a day. Drop your bags and explore Kathmandu while we finish preparing your apartment.

Can I check out later than 11:00 AM?

Check-out is by 11:00 AM. We offer the free luggage locker so you can store your bags after checkout and continue exploring. Late checkout itself isn't guaranteed unless an extra night is booked.

Is the check-in self-service?

Yes. The apartment uses a smart lock with a unique PIN code that is generated for your booking and shared 24 hours before check-in. There is no reception, no key handover and no waiting.

What if we are more than 4 guests?

The apartment sleeps up to 6 guests. The base nightly rate covers 4 guests; each additional guest is charged $25 per night, up to the 6-guest cap. Set the guest count at checkout and the total will update automatically.

Do you take a security deposit?

Yes — a refundable $80 security deposit is held against accidental damage and is released after checkout. It is collected when the door code is generated for card bookings, or together with the booking total for bank-deposit bookings.

What is the cancellation policy?

This booking is non-refundable. Once confirmed, the dates are locked in. We may refund in full in force-majeure cases (visa denial, illness with documentation, natural disaster) — message us on WhatsApp if your situation changes.

Can I pay by bank transfer instead of card?

Yes. At checkout choose "Pay by bank deposit" — your booking is held for one hour while you complete the transfer to our Nepali bank account. Send us the receipt on WhatsApp and we confirm the booking. If the deposit is not received within the hour the dates release automatically.

Can you arrange an airport pickup?

Yes. We offer one-way pickup from Tribhuvan International Airport (KTM) via a vetted local driver — tick "Add airport pickup" at checkout. Tribhuvan is about 3.4 km by car from the apartment.

Is there Wi-Fi?

Yes, fast fibre Wi-Fi is included free of charge. The network name and password are inside the welcome card you find on arrival, and we will WhatsApp them the day of check-in too.

Can I cook here?

Yes — full kitchen with induction hob, oven, fridge-freezer, kettle, coffee maker, full crockery and knives. We also leave basic spices and cooking oil so you can get started without a supermarket run.

Is hot water and electricity always available?

Yes. Hot and cold water is available 24/7, and the building has battery / inverter backup so the lights, Wi-Fi and fridge stay on through any city power cuts.

Is smoking allowed?

No — smoking and vaping are not allowed inside the apartment.. You may smoke in balcony. A cleaning levy may apply if the rule is broken.

Are pets allowed?

We do not currently host pets. Service animals are welcome with prior arrangement — message us on WhatsApp before booking.

Can I skip the cleaning fee?

Yes — opt in to self-cleaning at checkout and the cleaning fee is waived in exchange for returning the apartment in a clean and tidy state. Linen laundering still stays with our housekeeping. Deep cleaning after checkout, if required, is deducted from the security deposit.

Where exactly is the apartment?

The apartment is in central Kathmandu — Lwohiti Galli, New Plaza, Putalisadak 44600, Nepal — about 0.9 km to Thamel and Durbar Marg, 0.7 km to the Nepal Tourism Board and 5.2 km by car to Patan Durbar Square. The exact street address and door code are sent the day before check-in.

Is there a lift in the building?

No — there is no lift. This is a walk-up apartment on its floor of a residential building.

Will climbing stairs be difficult?

Most guests manage well with the stairs. However, it may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues or elderly travellers — please consider this when booking.

Why don’t you offer a lift?

Only about 15% of Kathmandu Airbnb listings have lift access, and those are usually hotels. This apartment provides spacious, private, home-style accommodation in a local residential building — that’s the trade-off.

What beds are available?

1 King, 2 King Single. Linen is changed between every stay.

Do you have heating and cooling?

Yes — the apartment has a split AC system that handles both cooling in summer and heating on cooler Kathmandu nights.

What if there is no internet?

Outages are rare, but if our fibre Wi-Fi drops we provide a temporary backup dongle until full service resumes. Just message us on WhatsApp and we drop one off.

Is safe drinking water available?

Yes — we provide unlimited processed drinking water through a dispenser inside the apartment. Tap water is fine for cooking and washing.
