Lock in a great price for Zostel Kathmandu – rated 9.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

Good location, lots of backpackers heading in and out of Nepal at all times. Nice cafe (a bit expensive) where you can meet people. Beds were comfortable. Lockers available for a nominal amount to leave stuff while trekking. Free filtered water available.

The restaurant is amazing and they have a really cool terrace on the top floor.

Friendly and very social hostel. Good food and clean accommodation. The location was good and short walks to get into the centre.

Excellent hostel, I can’t rave enough about it. I’ve stayed in quite a few different hostels and two other ones in Kathmandu, and Zostel in Kathmandu is by far the best. I would recommend it to anyone! Also met some awesome people here and the food was amazing!

Zostel has a really nice outside area and rooftop to meet and have a beer with other interesting people. The beds were comfy and the shower was great!

Dorm room is quite small, plus the dorm room on the ground floor is directly next to the stare filter which is pomping water around loudly (you definitely need earplugs to catch any sleep at all). It's a nice place, but not super overwhelming and given the price (almost twice the price of the other hostels in the same street/area) I personally think it's overpriced
It's relatively new and that shows. Simple, but new and sufficient facilities. Good storage facilities in the room and great showers.

The toilet didn't have a mirror and it was quite busy with people from other rooms since the one I stayed the toilet is not attached, but overall nothing that would compromise the stay.
The vibe is nice, location is really good and the beds are comfortable.
