First of all, the staff is always super polite and helpful and it makes your stay already perfect. Dorm was extremely clean (showers as well) and all day two ladies are running for cleaning. But what I really loved was location: you are close to all attractions but also you can feel calm atmosphere in the hostel. Thanks to previous comments owners, I could make perfect choice.

Location and price are very good. You are directly in Thamel without being too close to the nightclubs. So you don't get disturbed during during the night. Also, the stuff is super friendly and helpful. Beds are very comfortable, it is clean and you have a reliable hot shower. The common area is great for hanging around and meeting new people. They also have a pooltable for free. The view from the rooftop is also great. You have a clear view of Monkey temple The hostel is within the walking range of Kathmandu Durbar Square and the monkey temple.

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!!
