Set in Kathmandu, 1.3 km from Hanuman Dhoka, Rest Up Kathmandu Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. The property is situated 3 km from Swayambhunath Temple, 5.3 km from Pashupatinath and 6.2 km from Boudhanath Stupa.

At the hostel, all rooms include a patio with a city view. All guest rooms feature a safety deposit box. The staffs were very helpful and friendly (Prakash and his younger brother). 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!

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 hostel in Kathmandu! Nothing compares. The service, the staff, the comfy beds and privacy curtains the affordable meals, the quiet location. I'm coming back to this one! This is what a hostel should be like! If you want to socialize, cool, plenty of space for that, of you don't feel like it, privacy is there too. Love this place Thank you Jason, Emi, Tissa and the crew!

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. I absolutely loved the hosts here. Everyone was so kind, genuinely caring, and excellent hosts. The food is amazing, the shower is the hottest shower you will ever take- which is amazing after many cold showers in Nepal! The hosts make you feel like family and the garden area is so comfortable to sit and have tea and meet people from all over the world! I was visiting my friend here and I was so impressed that I changed my schedule to stay a few days here with her and once on the way back from my other travels. it’s off the main road tucked out of the way which I loved. There is a school nearby and the kids will say hi and wave out the windows at you. it’s such a loving space.
