Everything was nice. Location is really good, near enough to go to the Thamel hub by walk, far enough to not be affected by the noise. The rooftop was really good too!

At the hostel, all rooms have a balcony with a city view. All rooms include a safety deposit box, while selected rooms also offer a patio. Such a lovely hostel right in the heart of the Thamel but it is so peaceful and tranquil with a nice garden space. Comfortable beds/pillows with privacy curtains and sockets/lights etc. The design of the bunk beds are nice with wide steps to climb up to so doesn’t feel like a bunk at all. Spacious showers with hot water. Staff are SO nice and friendly, they are always ready to help with anything. I felt very safe here as there is a large gate locked at night and 24 hour security/night shift staff. The staff are also constantly cleaning including bathrooms. 😀 WiFi is excellent. I organised the Manaslu trek via Pramod and it was incredible. I experienced a family bereavement during the trek and the staff on the trek and in the hostel couldn’t have been nicer to me. I appreciated it so much and will never forget your kindness 🙏

Providing a bar, the property is located within 4.3 km of Kathmandu Durbar Square. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi. Sunny was very welcoming and arranged an airport pick-up for me on arrival. I came to Kathmandu quite late at night and he had offered to cook despite it being so late. The breakfast was lovely in the courtyard. The room was basic but comfortable. Sunny also offered to help organise some trekking and booked the bus for me from Kathmandu to my next destination.
