Great location, in Thamel, close to the central shopping district but I'm a relatively quiet area. Great service, friendly staff. Staffed by security 24/7.

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.

Everything was perfect! The beds are super comfortable, everything is clean and the shower is hot, and the receptionist is incredibly nice and helpful. It's hands down the best hostel in Kathmandu, with 5 starts amenities.

the best hotel in Kathmandu for this price. modest but clean hotel. There is hot water, wi-fi works great, silence at night! no barking dogs and road noise. they have a cafe with reasonable prices and they will cook you food at your request, not spicy and not oversalted. the cook cooks deliciously. they also have natural coffee from a coffee machine. the staff is friendly and helpful. the atmosphere is kind. they try very hard.

Beautiful place, nice staff, helping for everything, confortables beds, different rooftops and place to stay and chill. You can do some yoga on the rooftop. Food is nice (crêpe breakfast was sooo good! 😋). You can fill your bottle of water. Really worth it for the price ! The swimmingpool looks amazing but I haven't been, maybe next time 🤩

Checkpoint KTM Hostel

Located in Kathmandu, 1.7 km from Hanuman Dhoka, Checkpoint KTM Hostel provides accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking, a terrace and a bar.

As someone who travels frequently to Nepal and has stayed in almost all the hostels around Kathmandu, I can confidently say that Checkpoint KTM exceeded my expectations—especially for the price I paid. The beds were clean and super comfortable, each with privacy curtains, personal lights, and even charging ports, which made a big difference. I really appreciated the attached washroom with a reliable hot shower—something that’s surprisingly hard to find consistently in many hostels. The common area had a great vibe, perfect for meeting other travelers, and the co-working space was a huge bonus. I had to work late nights during my stay, and having a quiet, well-lit space outside the dorms meant I could stay productive without disturbing my roommates. Honestly, if you're looking for a place that balances comfort, convenience, and community—just book it. You won't be disappointed.

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.
