Amazing staff, welcoming atmosphere. Felt like I could’ve stayed on for a long time - will definitely be coming back! Great location just tucked up a quiet street from town, tasty affordable food. Met lots of people here as a solo traveller:)

Pretty much everything! I don't remember everyones names, but literally all the staff are super amazing! Really welcoming, kind, and helpful. The facilities are nice - clean bathrooms and dorms and bunks that are quite private. They also have a restaurant downstairs with really good food! I arranged the manaslu and tsum valley treks through the hostel, and they offered really competitive prices. My guide, Prakash, was awesome! I highly recommend requesting him as your guide if it's possible, and he's available :)

Bed and Pillow is a lovely place with a friendly staff. When we arrived early in the morning, we were warmly welcomed by Nibhesh at the reception, he explained everything to us, gave us great advice, and checked us into our room. You can enjoy a delicious breakfast and beautiful views from the rooftop. They also provided laundry service and kindly lent us an electric kettle even though it wasn’t included in our room. During our 16-day trek, we left our luggage there, and we’re already looking forward to staying again after returning from the mountains. Thank you! If you’re looking for a place in Kathmandu with an excellent location, clean and well-equipped rooms, and amazing staff, go there…you’ll feel right at home 🤍

Came as a solo traveler and rooms were really clean. The hostel has a very calm vibe and the roof top cafe is top notch. The staff helped me a lot to navigate the city. Especially Saroj and ganesh had enough knowledge of the activities in the city which helped me for a better stay.

I have to say everything is perfect. It's away from bustling area, but no more than 20mins to get to the center. Everyone is lovely and helpful, including all the staffs and guests. Can't imagine a more cozy hostel than this.

Everything. Everyone was so kind and accommodating. Not pushy at all. So nice. And my room THE BEST. I was in a bird’s nest in the BIRD’s NEST. Grounds so pretty and quiet also. Always hot water, everything clean, everyone genuinely smiling. Such a pleasant stay in the city i know and visit very very frequently but always stay away from the center. I had to be in the city this time and had some reservations. Bird’s Nest was such a welcome

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.
