The staff are fantastic, you can tell they are hospitality people. The hiking and other activities they help you arrange are fair priced and well organised. I had a fantastic time overall.

Probably the best hostel in Kahtmandu. It's so good that you don't even feel like leaving the hostel to visit the city. I think the best part is the outside area, which has a very cool and calm vibe for eating, socializing and working. The beds are very comfortable and the staff are very friendly and always very helpful. They also have various tours and trekking trips in Nepal that you can book with them.

The people managing the place are very nice, funny and helpful. If you have any question, they'll do their best to answer it and find a solution. They have adresses and contacts for some activities like trekking with a nice price. Nice food also.

The stay was very pleasant. The owner Sunny ji made sure everything was alright and contacted me even prior to my arrival. The room and bathroom were clean and peaceful and the breakfast was tasty. After getting stuck in the floods, Sunny ji let me cancel the stay free of charge, for which I am also very grateful. I recommend this place to everyone!

The location is amazing, you are at the door of Bhaktapur's heart. I found superb that the owner and staff share with us the cultural events, they showed us around, told us about the traditional food and best places to eat and also enjoyed with us! We felt like a family there, everybody was very kind and helpful with anything we needed. Also the facilities are comfortable and clean, the place is super cool, warm space ideal to meet other travelers. But you can also find your space at the terrace and enjoy nice views of the city and mountains. We will definitely come back! Pd: We tried the best Dahl Bhat in Nepal here ;)

This is the best hostel I’ve stayed in recent times. Everything is so perfect. Got a wonderful working space. Thank you so much for setting up this wonderful place for people who love to travel and work. Even the staff gave me coffee when I needed the most while I was working late at night. Will be back soon!

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!!
