The breakfast offers continental, American or Asian options. At the hostel you will find a restaurant serving American and Nepalese cuisine. Vegetarian, dairy-free and vegan options can also be requested. I truly think Nextdoor is one of the best Hostel I have ever stayed at. It has the perfect mix of everything: Modern, clean, comfy, organized/professional, breakfast included, nice outdoor areas. Plus they do care about their guests: they propose all kind of activities/tours every day (easy to meet people) and the staff is the friendliest and enjoy having chats with the guests.
