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. Kwabahal Boutique Hostel was my preferred accomodation in Kathmandu. Simply because the location was perfect. It is tucked-in in an alley and it has a nice garden/cafe to relax in. The street sound is muted so one can enjoy the serenity of the place. Secondly, all the staff display such heartwarming hospitality with endless smiles. A huge plus for me was also the clean and spotless showers and toilets, the cleanest by far during my visit in Nepal.
