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.

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.
