The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, creating a warm atmosphere from the moment I arrived. The location is perfect for exploring Kathmandu, close to major attractions and local eateries. The room and common areas were clean and cozy, and I appreciated the availability of hot showers and free Wi-Fi.

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.

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.

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.

There is a really social, funny and friendly backpacker vibe on the hostel. And the hostel got its own bar and restaurant to affordable prices.

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!!
