Highlight were the staff. The owner Bishwo, will go above and beyond to tell you about everything there is to know within bhaktapur. Always wanting to improve and make the place better in every way. The hostel friends and staff are less friends here but more family. Is a place I will continue to come back to.

This hostel, located in the heart of Thamel, became for me not so much a place to stay, but a place to meet and communicate with wonderful people. The hotsel is equipped with everything a tourist needs: a cozy and warm bed, a hot shower and an excellent breakfast in the garden. Special thanks to Pramod for help with tracking and Ashish for the excellent service at Breakfast House. I'd be happy to stay here again!

Amazing rooftop and lovely staff! Very nice breakfast served on the roof with a view of the city and the mountains. Got to borrow a computer and got to leave our bags when we went trecking without extra cost. The hotel is located extremely central. Nibhesh in the reception and the owner Niranjan gave many nice recommendations for our stay.

Probably the best hostel in Kahtmandu. It's so good that you don't even feel like leaving the hostel to visit the city. I think the best part is the outside area, which has a very cool and calm vibe for eating, socializing and working. The beds are very comfortable and the staff are very friendly and always very helpful. They also have various tours and trekking trips in Nepal that you can book with them.

All hostels in Bhaktapur

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.

Great location and great vibe. I met a lot of interesting people at Hostel Swastik that went on to become good friends. The staff are helpful and Bishwo the owner is a really great guy with interesting projects ongoing. I will never stay anywhere else except here whenever I'm in Bhaktapur.

Super cozy and friendly hostel in a great location. Bishwo, the owner is very helpful and knows a lot about the area. He helped me with my indian visa and recommended the best local restaurants and places to go in Bhaktapur as well as outside the city. The hot showers work very well and the beds are comfortable. Furthermore you can use the rooftop terrace of the guesthouse just across the streets for some amazing sunset.
