Hostel Swastik

Great location Very friendly staff! Nice ambience

Pillow is a bit hard

Staff is very friendly and helpful. Very nice vibes of the place. The common area is cosy and the rooftop is a great addition.

Best hostel I've stayed in so far in Nepal. Great atmosphere, comfortable beds, great location, friendly staff that wants to help you in any way they can.

Near to everything.

Beds hard, no hot water in room with private bathroom.

absolutely the best Dhal Baat I’ve tasted so far!

not very clean, shower is next to the common area so not very private.

The staff were brilliant, super friendly and helpful and you will become more friends than customers. The rooms were clean and comfortable and there is a good shower. The movie room with a projector is a great idea and we really enjoyed spending our evenings catching up on missed series. The area is incredible, the location is perfect. A short walk to everywhere you need and want to go. Also, you should definitely try some local newari food!

Nothing

I spent a total of two nights there in two different weeks. Both times I went to spend the night. However, it was a great stay. Though it was low season, on both days I met excellent people to hang out with. The owner is super nice, I joined him playing guitar and singing, he showed me a great place for newari food and he was always there to hang out. The hostel is in a great location. About 5 min from the old town but outside (something great so that you don't have to pay the old city fee if you aren't going to visit it), and about 15 min from the main road where you can take the bus anywhere. I stayed in a 6-bed fem room. The first night we were only 3 while on the second one, just 2 beds were occupied. The room was wide, comfy mattress, warm blanket and lockers. Close to it, there were two toilets and a sink. On the ground floor you have a shower with some hot water (not much though). All of them are pretty clean. In summary, a great place for your stay in Bhaktapur, price worth it and a nice vibe :)

I think that the only thing it could be improved is to have individual lights for each bed. Otherwise, it was a perfect place. Totally recommended!

The place have an hostel vibe, people were nice and they have hot shower, good WiFi and drinkable water available.

Really thin walls, you can hear everything going on the place. And way too hard mattress for us.
