Set in Kathmandu, 1.1 km from Hanuman Dhoka, Kwabahal Boutique Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Boasting a bar, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 1.3 km from Kathmandu Durbar Square and around 600 metres from Thamel Chowk. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property.

At the hostel, all rooms have a balcony with a city view. All rooms include a safety deposit box, while selected rooms also offer a patio. I feel secure that it runs a restaurant in the front yard instead of the other hostels usually run restaurant on the roof top. The dorm bed is very very comfortable. All of the staff are super polite and informative. They greeting me every time when I passed by the front desk, it is like the way of a five star hotel hospitality. The shower is powerful and it is real hot shower. Shower room is handy, well facility. One of the staff named Binod Bhandari is humble and hearty helpful. I m wondering Kwabahal boutique hostel probably is the best of the best hostel in Nepal.
