It’s location is excellent, right in the middle of Thamel. I could easily book my trip to Pokhara and Salleri through the hostel. Pramod, the manage and other staff were nice and patient and happy to answer all questions.

Staff is the most kind, helpful and nice people from the first moment you arrive. Food is great, they always have a smile, they create a home atmosphere, Sunny, the owner always had a nice campfire when i returned every day, and it was a great feeling to feel the hot from the fire meanwhile we were sharing nice conversations with other guests. I always walk to Thamel is only 20mn and easy to take a cab or bus in case you need it. Very peaceful and save area. Totally recommend. I travel alone and i felt like home. For sure my perfect place when i am in Kathmandu, very good prices for the quality of the rooms.

Great hostel is nearby Osel Ling. Location is good for Tergar student and someone who wants to explore village life there. The owner always welcomes us with his smiling face at night. He is always hardworking and nice. The hostel is clean and comfortable because of his hardworking and responsible. I can feel safe there even though I am a girl travelling alone. Laundry service is good, too. I love the morning sun and air there. Great place ro stay.

Staff is so nice and helpful, garden and terraces are great for chilling out, socialising, and breakfast in the morning. Laundry is fast and cheap, breakfast is plentiful, spent many weeks here on and off and found it great! No a/c but fans do the job. Favourite budget place in KTM after having stayed in several.

Best hostels was a perfect warm welcome in Kathmandu. Sweet sweet Sunny made us feel like we came home. The location is in a more peaceful part of the city but walking distance to downtown. The rooms were nice and they had all of the food and knowledge you could ask for. The staff and Sunny treated us like friends. We will definitely come back!!
