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!

Set in Kathmandu, 1.1 km from Hanuman Dhoka, Nepalaya Home Hostel offers accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking, a terrace and a bar. The property is located 1.3 km from Kathmandu Durbar Square, 2.8 km from Swayambhu and 3.8 km from Swayambhunath Temple. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi. They went over and beyond the call of duty by getting me a heater and filling my thermos with hot tea, as I had just come from warm Thailand with nothing but a swim suit, shorts, tank top, and flip flops, plus they got me a cab ride with their friend for a good price. The towels and comforter smelled extremely clean and the people were friendly and cheerful (the visitors and staff).

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. The staff were very nice and helpful. Due to weather conditions I was stuck in the road, so I messaged the hostel saying that my arrival time would be uncertain. They quickly responded to me and ensured that someone would open the door for me. The next day the street was flooded, under this extreme weather, the staff still made sure to provide us breakfast and sent us to another accommodation due to the flooding situation. Super responsible staff, very very nice, friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this hostel.

Always hot water, everything clean, everyone genuinely smiling. Such a pleasant stay in the city i know and visit very very frequently but always stay away from the center. I had to be in the city this time and had some reservations. Bird’s Nest was such a welcome

Hostel Swastik is located in Bhaktapur, less than 1 km from Bhaktapur Durbar Square and 12 km from Patan Durbar Square. The property features a bar, as well as a restaurant serving Nepalese cuisine. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared lounge and free WiFi. I loved my stay at Swastik! Such a personal experience as I got to speak with and get to know the owner and manager personally, who were both so friendly, fun and knowledgeable about the area. The hostel was clean and well maintained and the staff are always happy to help and genuinely want to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I also met such nice and interesting people at the hostel, I can’t say I met anyone I didn’t like! The food was also amazing and really reasonably priced. I ate the best dal bhat I had in my whole Nepal visit and all the vegetables were organic and grown on the hostel’s own farm. Bhaktapur was also an incredible city with such a beautiful insight into traditional Nepali culture with the friendliest people!
