Cindy United States of America

All staff are good and mahendra himal all are very friendly

Zachary United States of America

Beautiful artwork and lovely staff. The roof is also incredible with views of the whole of Kathmandu

Sophia Nepal

It was a quiet place away from the crowd, the satff was super friendly, they do accept Indian currency, even 500of the new notes😀 , the bathrooms were hygenic and Western style, the cafe was great with excellent view of the hills around it, it has a small playground where can play football or volleyball, nice chilling out area. Other travellers were also super friendly and easy to hang around with. A must recommended place if you are looking for a place to stay in Kathmandu.

Gaurav India

Pretty cool guest house, nice staff and good location, just outside the Thamel. The food in the restaurant wasn’t the best but still recommend the place.

Eden Israel

Free water refills. Incredible multi-level common areas. Amazing private rooms. Very helpful staff. Huge and secure baggage storage area when you leave for treks. Delicious coffee. Lots of places to charge electronics. Badminton net. Dart board. Great vibe.

Babaji Vietnam

This is my second review of the place. It's legit though, because I stayed here twice and they deserve a shoutout! A summary: very friendly and helpful staff, good restaurant, good price, good location, a cat (big plus!), Hammocks, hot showers, really lovely decorated rooms, superb matresses!

Arnkemp Netherlands

Great hostel! We had the twin room which I think was either brand new or very well maintained! It even had some nice decorations and furniture! The shared bathroom was one door over, very clean and has a nice hot shower. The staff is very helpfull and think along with your travel planning (if asked to). The restaurant ("the Denis") serves good food for reasonable prices! We actually stayed here twice, on our way in to Nepal and just before we left a month later. The main reason: best mattresses in 7 months of traveling, period!

Arnkemp Netherlands

Great common area to chill and socialize. Food it was good for the price. Staff were great, very welcoming.
