Super cozy and friendly hostel in a great location. Bishwo, the owner is very helpful and knows a lot about the area. He helped me with my indian visa and recommended the best local restaurants and places to go in Bhaktapur as well as outside the city. The hot showers work very well and the beds are comfortable. Furthermore you can use the rooftop terrace of the guesthouse just across the streets for some amazing sunset.

The staff are very helpful and nice. The place is peaceful and quiet, despite being in the middle of Thamel. The hotel is brand new, so everything is in perfect condition.

The staff is very involved and friendly! The rooms are very very nice and spacious with a large storage box/shelf for your things as well as plenty of floor space. The walking tour is fantastic and there are game nights and other social/art activities to participate in. I was never bored! By far the best hostel in Kathmandu. The showers are also nice and hot!

An amazing hostel, a place to retreat from the chaos of the city and just chill. Good kitchen with good food, but most of all the staff was incredible. So very friendly and helpful! They also helped me with getting my phone which I lost back and sending it to my home country.

Staff are amazing, beautiful people! They remember you and answer every question you have. Best shower I've had in Nepal, hot and good pressure. Chilled out social areas with lots of solo travellers around. Comfortable bed and duvet, I slept well. Perfect location to explore.

All hostels in Bhaktapur

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Great location and great vibe. I met a lot of interesting people at Hostel Swastik that went on to become good friends. The staff are helpful and Bishwo the owner is a really great guy with interesting projects ongoing. I will never stay anywhere else except here whenever I'm in Bhaktapur.
