Comfortable dorm, super hospitable and helpful staff, the cafe was great and the cleaning staff done an amazing job keeping the space clean. The donation box is a nice touch for the traveler to let go stuff they no longer meed and for others to find stuff they might need. Sits on the quieter side of the neighborhood but still close to the center of Thamel.

Featuring a bar, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 1.3 km from Kathmandu Durbar Square and around 600 metres from Thamel Chowk.

Excellent location in Thamel in a little alley which keeps the traffic noise away. There was construction work next door while I stayed there but hopefully this is finished soon. Outdoor space / garden is great! I stayed in a private room the first days due to my cough. The room was spacious and tidy. Bathroom was good, I just felt a bit cold due to having a mesh and not a glass window. The garden is beautiful and the food and coffee served is excellent. I met some other travellers at the garden which was nice as I had company for a few days. Cleanliness was excellent! They cleaned everg day and the toilets were very clean.

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. In my opinion Nepalaya Home Hostel is one of the best budget accommodations in Kathmandu. it's clean, pleasant, and offers excellent value for money What genuinely distinguishes it is the amazing hospitality, particularly of Amrit the hard work guy always smiling and always provide problem solving ideas for guests.  His warm welcome, friendly demeanor, and genuine concern for guests make you feel right at home. He never fails to be willing to help, whether you need travel advice or simply want to talk everyone becomes friends so fast with him . This hostel is an excellent alternative for budget tourists due to its pleasant environment, friendly environment and convenient location. Highly recommended!
