Location is perfect in Thamel, the room was very confortable and clean. The building is very modern and beautiful, I enjoyed it a lot. Hot shower was perfect after a long hike. The size of the room and furniture also perfect. But I specially want to thank the staff because I was very sick when arrived and they kindly took care of me. They all treat me so well!! They helped me a Lot!!! I will always feel grateful with you!!! Thank you so so much!!!

Best hostel I have stayed in Kathmandu after trying several during my 3 weeks stay here. The bathroom is modern and clean, and plenty of shower and bathroom on the top floor as well. They also operate a restaurant in the garden, guest can just hang out there, the vibe is amazing. Staff are friendly and easy going. It is located in a courtyard so it is very quiet, I sleep very well every night. One thing I need to mention is the stair to get to the upper bunk, most hostel has the most awkward stair but the stair design here makes getting to the bed a breeze. The room has big window that you can open, so the room is never stuffy and smelly.

The owner Sunny is very nice and helpful! Our room had a private washroom inside the room! The location is great because it is calm and not so crowded. You can go to the center by Taxi (10 min) and by foot (30 min).

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.
