Birds Nest Hostel

Great location close to Thamel but not in the middle of the craziness. Staff is excellent and sells food and drinks - just pick something out of the fridge and make eye contact with the staff and they bill it directly to your room which is very convenient. The layout of the place is very nice with lots of outdoor common areas with seating. Overall quality of facilities was good, but will differ from Western standards. I would strongly recommend, especially if you're younger or solo travelling as it is very easy to meet and converse with other guests and the staff.

I stayed here for 10 days and after trekking and before my flight home. It's a lovely friendly hostel, hot showers, lots of different areas to sit and enjoy peace and quiet, whilst being convenient for Thamel. Sunny and Nitesh and all the staff were always helpful. I would definitely recommend and if I ever come back to Nepal I would stay here.

The staff is super friendly, helpful with everything from booking taxi to trek etc. Always wishing me good morning and available for any type of information. The food menu is extensive and tasty. The garden provides a comfortable space in the busy city. It is easy to meet other travellers in the common space.I came back three times and felt at home there :)

Dorms and bathrooms are pretty basic

Good place to stay and relax, close to Thamel. Stayed here for a week and would recommend it for a longer stay.

I recently stayed at Birds Nest in Nepal, and it was truly a wonderful experience. Birds Nest felt like a serene escape from the chaos of daily life. The room was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make me feel at home.

Really calm and relaxing place but also with good community vibes. The private room was nicer than expected. I stayed at a different hostel initially in KMD (which was ok) and was very happy to have changed to Birds Nest.

Good location, away from the main Thamel. Affordable hostel with a friendly environment and very helpful staff.
