From the entrance to their room n bathroom was sparkling cleaning escpecially the washroom very very clean. We supposed stay for only one night there however end staying the rst of trip there. Very comfortable bed, too. Their staff's are all very friendly and polite. Thanks to Mr Pramod for his guide and excellent service, very knowledgeable person to advise on trip n treks. The cafe restaurant is in the compound too , food was excellent, especially their breakfast sets. No doubt the chef must be an international cook. Since the whole stay, we only ate there, as it was so hygiene and delicious. Do try their American breakfast, very delicious. Kudos to the team. Thank you for the experience and memorable hospitality.

The breakfast offers continental, American or Asian options. At the hostel you will find a restaurant serving American and Nepalese cuisine. Vegetarian, dairy-free and vegan options can also be requested. I truly think Nextdoor is one of the best Hostel I have ever stayed at. It has the perfect mix of everything: Modern, clean, comfy, organized/professional, breakfast included, nice outdoor areas. Plus they do care about their guests: they propose all kind of activities/tours every day (easy to meet people) and the staff is the friendliest and enjoy having chats with the guests.
