I really liked the rooftop. Plenty on space to move the body. The rooms were regularly cleaned and the bathroom several times a day. Many thanks for the staff for making the stay so pleasant. The location is very central, but still it is very quiet during the night.

It's a hidden gem in centre of Kathmandu. The bedding is super clean, and beds are comfort, room is spacious with a big locker, it fits in my big backpack and everything else. The stuff are super friendly, the location is righ in the city centre, walking distance to everywhere. did I mention there are three bathrooms in 6 beds female dorm? It's like 5 star hotel. I did not expect this much for the price I paid. another bonus: free refill water. I will give it 11 if possible. Keep up good work!

Best Hostel has become my favorite place to stay in Kathmandu. The rooms are great, clean and comfortable. There is a restaurant attached, great food and very affordable prices. The true value, however, is in the staff. Sunny and his team go above and beyond, and you feel incredibly welcome. This is my second time staying here and I cannot recommend it enough!

Great hostel is nearby Osel Ling. Location is good for Tergar student and someone who wants to explore village life there. The owner always welcomes us with his smiling face at night. He is always hardworking and nice. The hostel is clean and comfortable because of his hardworking and responsible. I can feel safe there even though I am a girl travelling alone. Laundry service is good, too. I love the morning sun and air there. Great place ro stay.

Staff is so nice and helpful, garden and terraces are great for chilling out, socialising, and breakfast in the morning. Laundry is fast and cheap, breakfast is plentiful, spent many weeks here on and off and found it great! No a/c but fans do the job. Favourite budget place in KTM after having stayed in several.

Best hostels was a perfect warm welcome in Kathmandu. Sweet sweet Sunny made us feel like we came home. The location is in a more peaceful part of the city but walking distance to downtown. The rooms were nice and they had all of the food and knowledge you could ask for. The staff and Sunny treated us like friends. We will definitely come back!!
