When we arrived early in the morning, we were warmly welcomed by Nibhesh at the reception, he explained everything to us, gave us great advice, and checked us into our room. You can enjoy a delicious breakfast and beautiful views from the rooftop. They also provided laundry service and kindly lent us an electric kettle even though it wasn’t included in our room. During our 16-day trek, we left our luggage there, and we’re already looking forward to staying again after returning from the mountains. Thank you! If you’re looking for a place in Kathmandu with an excellent location, clean and well-equipped rooms, and amazing staff, go there…you’ll feel right at home 🤍

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. A really great hostel to stay in! The staff is most hospitable and helpful! It is located in a quiet and nice neighborhood. It was the cleanest hostel I've encountered in Nepal. I can also recommend their restaurant that prepares traditional dishes that are not easy to find.
