Guest Reviews

• Antoine (10/5): 5 stars - Super personnel, Les chambres sont grandes et spacieuses, c'est un endroit très calme où vous pouvez déjeuner, manger et prendre du temps pour vous relaxer. Eau chaude Enjina, rupak et Hari sont toujours de bon conseil, très souriant et au petit soin pour vous. Je recommande a 100% cette hotel et compte revenir. Merci pour le séjour. Rien tout est parfait
• Coleau (6/5): - Personnel sympathique, le petit déjeuner est simple mais bon. Les draps étaient tachés, les serviettes fatigués, la chambre un peu vétuste et bruyant sur l'extérieur. En fat il y a d'autre hôtels de même gamme et 2 fois moins chère.
• Bibek (10/5): -
• Mokhito (10/5): - Очень приветливый персонал, Пупок был просто великолепен Остальные тоже были очень дружелюбные Нет такого
• Siti (9/5): -
• SABRINA ABEDIN (8/5): -
• MIN (10/5): - 环境不错，工作人员也很好。
• Dishant (10/5): Everything is good - Nature is good of all staff NA
• Barrie (10/5): Great value sleep centralised in great spot in thamel - The beds lovely and comfortable and lovely roof garden with great selection of food No elevator but only 3 stories so not to bad
• KC (10/5): Feels like home and everything near by - Perfect location and clean rooms, helpful staff and owner too
• SiFang (10/5): - Location Nothing
• sadya (1/5): The place owner is rude, arrogant and threatening guests and very discriminating. - I think I could have liked many things about the place if the property owner and the staff were well behaved. It is in Thamel area which makes it close to central areas that was a benefit. place was not too dirty or so but the staff were horrible. The owner of the place was arrogant, problematic, rude and very very disrespectful. I had a confirmed booking but when I arrived they said they dont have the booking, I showed them the confirmation on booking.com add on my phone but they refused and said it doesn't matter what i show but that room is not available for us. We booked a 4 bed mix dorm and booked all four even though we were three friends but we booked four beds for better comfort and security, but he started to say that he can put us in a family room with three beds. Then we said as we paid for four beds that what we would like to have, then he offered two separate rooms with one double bed in them and asked us to cancel the booking in booking.com, I asked for a confirmation receipt from them for the new rooms before we cancel the booking, but he refused to give that to us and was not even allowing us to take photos of the form that we fill up with our informaiton. We booked the place literally to sleep because we were in work and tour all day, the next day I got a email form booking.com asking if i am staying in the property since they did not get any notification on my check-in, and i said yes i am staying there but in different room as the property owner changed it, by then we were far away form the hotel like 2 hours drive away and the hotel owner called and said that we have to change our room or we simply should checkout right that moment, we said we are not near and will need few hours to come back but he kept threatening that since we did not do no-show he will not keep us. We rushed back somehow and talked with him, he was asking as us lie to booking.com and do a no-show or we should leave. We had our local friend with us to talk in local language to avoid any misunderstanding, but he insulted our friend and threat him too. We already paid for two days there and did not wanted any hassle so stayed there, but we will never recommend such rude space to anyone.

• Laura (8/5): Nice! - Had a really nice stay here at Hiday Hostel. The rooms are nice and clean, it is located in the centre and the staff is really kind. It is also not really crowded, which is nice, but if you are looking to meet more fellow travellers, another place might be more suitable. By the way, the rooftop is amazing!
• Yuki (8/5): Very good -
• Shauntelle (10/5): Super clean and friendly! - I’m so lucky that I booked this hostel. I booked the 4 bed female dorm and it was super clear, I was also really happy that the shared toilet was in the dorm and we only had to share between us. It’s also a very quiet hostel with a lovely rooftop to work from. I fell sick when I arrived in Nepal and the staff went above and beyond to help me that I didn’t feel alone through one of my worst sickness! I wouldn’t hesitate to book if you’re thinking about it.
• Evgenyjake (10/5): Exceptional - Best place to stay here in Kathmandu good location clean room very nice hot shower 🚿 Nothing 😐

The owner of the hostel is a very nice person. I am happy with everything here, the rooms are clean, there is a cafe on the rooftop which is very cozy. If you want to be in a good location with good price and good quality , you are in a good place.
• Mohammad (10/5): Exceptional - Stuff working Here so kind And honest Room clean and location is center
• 張 (10/5): good - bed is good shower also stairs there’s no elevator
• Letícia (8/5): Excelent stay - Easy to find get to other places, friendly staff, very comfy beds, warm showers anytime, not as noisy as I expected, got 2 big bottles of water for free and the breakfast was very good. They waited to pick me up even tho my flight was 4h late. The restaurant terrace is cozy and the upper terrace has a cozier area with the view to monkey temple! They were kind enough to storahe one of my luggages while I was in a retreat and came back a few days later. The owner is very kind and attentive, as well all the other staff members. Thanks for contributing for my amazing stay in Kathmandu. I stayed in 2 different rooms and both had some signal of people smoking in them before which gave me some discomfort. Wasnt a major problem but maybe good to have no-smoking rooms. I had to ask for another towel and toilet paper, I understand us westerners use it differently but good to have it in the room upon arrival.
• Ryan (10/5): So good I'm coming back! - This is my second time at this hostel, I had such a nice stay. I am actually returning in five days and will stay for a week because I liked it so much the coffee and the breakfast is great and so convenient to have on the rooftop. They also have a bar. Great location! See you in a few days guys 🤙 oh and the hot water is actually rally hot thank god!

• Harry (10/5): Great place for bagpackers - Great location everything is accessible. Rooms are very clean than other hostel in Kathmandu. 24 hour hot shower which was amazing. Great rooftop restaurant where they serve breakfast lunch and dinner with organic coffee. Rooftop is just amazing to hangout Nothing
• Yunus (10/5): Exceptional - Brilliant location, close to the main sites. Staff are super helpful, bed is super comfortable and a great breakfast. Tour desk is great as well. Not like some that try to oversell. All in all, I would most definitely recommend.
• Gautam (10/5): Exceptional - Rooftop restaurant and travel information
• Paulo (6/5): Pleasant - They picked me up at the airport for a reasonable rate. The room matches the description and photos. The food at the rooftop bar was cheap and tasty. Plenty of stairs which can be a problem if you have heavy suitcases but they offered to help carry it upstairs. Friendly staff always willing to help out with suggestions. Good location within walking distance to Durbar square. I think this place has potential but unfortunately there were several issues during my stay. First of all, they had some construction work up on the rooftop which was noisy in the morning and evening. Also, it affected the boiler, so I didn't have hot water for more than 24 hours which sucks in winter. Also, the room is super cold and there is no heater. I had to ask for extra blanket and even so I had to sleep with a sweater on. The wifi was also very spotty and kept disconnecting which affected my work as a digital nomad. Lastly, the hostel is facing the street and there are always many scooters driving by which makes the area quite noisy even with earplugs.
• Mikhail (6/5): To sleep - Price No bath which was in the offer Hot water only in the morning then just warm Thin windows Electricity cuts several times a day Staff smoking in the evening on the reception Differences between photos and conditions
• Elwira (5/5): Passable - The location was nice, it was close to many facilities. Also the restaurant is really pleasant. The toilet in my room broke down, I had to ask three times during the day the get it fixed (it happened around 11 and someone came to check it around 16/17). I really felt like no one cared to be honest.
• Chloe (7/5): Good - Good location Cheap private rooms Toilets were an issue in both rooms I had Shower was getting everything wet Very noisy if you're on the side of the street Travel agency on the first floor was a little pushy

• Robert (7/5): Good -
• Daryl (9/5): Great stay - Location and staff! Awesome terrace to chill on top floor. My room was located on the loud street side, but that was it.
• Dormie (7/5): You get what you pay for - Central location in Thamel, close to shops and restaurants. Staff let me check-in early as the bed was available and shower after checkout. Fan in room. If you're in one of the higher floors, the street noise is muted. Anyone off the street can get into the room and you can't lock the dorm room as there is only 1 key. There are lockers in the room but no key so you can't lock it, and there was rubbish inside. Everything is dusty. The bathroom was dirty and never cleaned. Black mold on the door, shelf above sink was broken, no toilet paper. Bedding looked cleaned but are not changed between guests. Top bunk is low and close to the ceiling. No common area to relax.

• Anurag (9/5): great for short stay - overall good location , comfortable, relatively clean. nothing
• Elang (1/5): Dishonest, greedy, not helpful - Good price for hostel They didn’t provide any information about public transportation for going to Pokhara and chitwan. Not helpful staff. Rather, the “only” way was by taking a tour with them. After this reference, hopefully you will learn to be open about the tourpackage and public transportation in your country. This information is difficult to obtain for me.

• Anna (10/5): Good location, friendly staff, chilled vibe - Me and my friend have stayed in both a private room and a shared dorm multiple times and we love this place. We have been in Nepal around 2 months and use Holdiay Hostel as our base whenever we’re in Kathmandu. The rooms are always clean and have everything you need, the staff are friendly, always happy to see us and very helpful. We had one member of staff sit with us for over an hour helping us plan our trek and give us advice, and multiple staff have made it clear that should we come into any difficulty then they’re only a phone call away to help if need be. Also has a lovely little rooftop bar to sit and chill at. 24 hour reception is helpful too, as we arrived at 3am We will be back!
