Really nice hostel with a nice restaurant in the garden. A beautiful garden where you can relax. We had a really nice private room with a hot shower. It’s the best shower we had in Nepal ;)! The staff is really friendly and they help you with everything. Really recommended!!

The people running the hostel are all very lovely, warm hearted people. We felt right at home! You can always ask them for help with just about anything. The beds were very comfortable, too. We liked it so much, that we came back to stay there again after a trip.

First of all, the property was exceptionally clean and well-maintained upon arrival, which made for a very welcoming first impression. Furthermore, the location was excellent. It was conveniently situated, making it easy to access the city center, public transport and local amenities I also appreciated the thoughtful amenities. The comfortable beds, good WiFi and common room greatly enhanced my stay and made it very comfortable. I’m especially grateful for the excellent local advice you provided. Your recommendations for things to do in and around Kathmandu were incredibly helpful and saved me a significant amount of money, making my trip much more affordable and authentic. Overall, the property provided great value for the price. It was a pleasant and hassle-free experience from start to finish. I would certainly recommend it to others and would not hesitate to book it again in the future. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
