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.

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.
