Guest Reviews

• Mst Jannatul (10/5): -
• Michał (3/5): Nie polecam - Daje punkty za smaczna kuchnie i przemilego kucharza oraz za w porzadku pokoj prywatny. Recepcja, a zwlaszcza jeden chlopak pracujacy na recepcji (mlody, w okularach) robi bardzo, ale to bardzo zle wrazenie. Zacznijmy od tego, ze mialem wczesny przylot. Zawczasu wyslalem zapytanie o mozliwosc wczesniejszego check-inu. Dostalem odpowiedz, ze to zalezy od dostepnosci pokoju mojej kategorii. W porzadku. Na miejscu, po przyjezdzie, pytam, czy moglbym zrobic wczesniejsze zameldowanie. Chlopak na recepcji odpowiada, ze raczej nie. Wyjasniam sytuacje z mailem i pytam, czy wszystkie pokoje byly zajete poprzedniej nocy. Odpowiedz: Nie, ale i tak musza zostac posprzatane. Slabo. Musze blakac sie prawie 5 godzin po miedzykontynentalnym locie. Pytam o cene. 3890 NPR. Czy moge placic karta? Dla mnie byloby wygodniej. Nie, tylko gotowka. Ok, trudno. Wracam po jakims czasie. Na recepcji inna osoba, chlopak z tylu. Robie zameldowanie. Nowa recepcjonistka pyta, czy chcialbym zaplacic karta... Robie zdziwiona mine: myslalem, ze nie mozna placic karta? Chlopak z tylu usmiecha sie dziwnie. Kolejna sprawa, ze nowa osoba poinformowala mnie, ze nocleg to 4000 NPR. To ile w koncu? Moja jedna noc spedzona na miejscu byla ok. Pod koniec pobytu wrocilem na kolejna, ale byly nastepne machlojki, sprzeczne decyzje i porozumiewanie sie w mojej obecnosci po nepalsku, zeby ustalic wspolna wersje. Zabralem swoje rzeczy i wyszedlem. Nie polecam.
• Maria (8/5): - Really good location and staff were helpful when sorting my bus to Pokhara. Beds are really comfortable and very tall so plenty of room to sit up even in bottom bunk. Bathrooms and showers were really clean and always had hot water! Lockers provided but need own lock. I didn’t find this the most sociable hostel but it was good for a decent nights sleep.
• Ashfaq Nipun (9/5): - Neat and clean The cooling system
• Bhargab (9/5): -
• Simon (9/5): Great hostel with sunny rooftop bar and restaurant - Great location, restaurant and rooftop bar, very friendly and helpful staff Restaurant was shut for 2 days, ( out of 5) but it was quiet, bar stayed open though. I found out the chef was at a wedding
• Jean Charles (10/5): - Une ambiance conviviale qui vous laisse le choix entre des moments de solitude et des moments plus sociaux, d'échanges et de partagés, de précieux conseils aussi. Entre la solitude et le social les choses sont fluides. Franchement, il faudrait que je fasse un effort pour trouver des choses négatives
• Claudio (9/5): Nice option in Thamel, bring earplugs! - We had a great stay here, great location, friendly staff, nice food on offer. Rooftop is cool as well. Everything was essentially great, other than the sound proofing. It was SO loud in our room, the noise from outside just billowed throughout sadly. It made sleeping pretty difficult at times.
• Youlan (5/5): - 地理位置不错，公共区域大，比较干净 晚上有人开电风扇，噪音太大，餐饮味道一般，晚上洗澡发现没热水
• NeedBetterCool (9/5): -
• yang (9/5): -
• Keith (8/5): Right in the heart of Nepal. Clean, friendly, safe. - Restaurant on site. Bar on site. Good location. Friendly staff who are always helpful. Beds do not have privacy curtains to block light. No working air conditioning. Most showers are cold.
• Corinna (10/5): -
• SHUSUKE (10/5): -
• havva (10/5): -
• fd0702 (10/5): - friendly staff, good location although the entrance might be hard to find initially, clean sometimes the Internet was slow would be great if there were hostel activities
• Cogent corentin (10/5): Meet lovely people - Good ambiance, nice accommodation, staff are very kind
• Joseph Mark (10/5): - I had a really great stay at this hostel. The staff were friendly and always ready to help, specially Mr. Sunil. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the atmosphere made it easy to meet other travelers. The location was also very convenient. I would definitely stay here again!
• Tyack (10/5): - Just amazing. Amazing massive communal spaces. Great comfort bed. The rooms are large enough to accommodate the amount of bunks with room to spare. The locker easily fits bags (65ltr backpack with room from hiking boots at the top) or use the space under the bed. There are cleaners who are very diligent and everything is cleaned thoughly. The bathroom is probably the best I have had so far. The design that the curtain is on the outside so you can shower without the curtain hitting you at all. And you can also leave your towel outside so that it also doesn't get wet. The water brush is really lovely and there's like 8 or 10 showers. Outside you also get the morning sun which was awesome when it was colder.
• Mark (10/5): -
• Shikhar (9/5): -
• Jatin (10/5): - The location of the property is in the middle of the thamel market and there service was also too good
• Matilda (7/5): Nice centrally located hostel - Nicely decorated private room and common areas. Superb breakfast. Friendly staff. Close to good restaurants and shops. One night a group was talking loudly and listening to music in the common areas the whole night and didn’t stop until 4.30, so we got next to no sleep.
• David (9/5): - sehr freundliches Personal, toller Vibe, gute Lage, gutes Essen da fällt mir nichts ein
• qingsong (7/5): -
• Shivam (10/5): It was a beautiful stay, - Staff were friendly and accommodating.
• Ghazaleh (9/5): - Staff were very nice and welcoming; rooftop was good All good
• Rossana (8/5): -
• olivia (10/5): Superb! Can’t wait to be back!! - everything from the stuff to the dorms! Super clean, new, exactly like the pictures. The best hostel I’ve ever stay during this long trip:) Nothing
• keswani (8/5): -
• Melisa Soledad (10/5): -
• Hiroyasu (10/5): -
• Kelly (6/5): An okay stay in a convenient location - Convenient location, staff was super friendly and helpful. The common area is nice but there wasn’t really anyone using it so I wouldn’t say it’s a great place to meet other travellers. The beds were rather hard. Bathroom not super clean. The pictures make it look a bit nicer than it actually is. We had breakfast at the restaurant one day but weren’t too impressed, so I’d recommend going to one of the many nearby restaurants in Thamel instead.
• Jordan (10/5): - Great - very accommodating!
• Samad (10/5): -
• Tarun (10/5): - service and location

• Labiba Ferdous (10/5): - Second time staying with them and we loved everything about this hostel 4 of us were staying late for both of the nights. Middle of the night the water supply was off which was quite annoying.
• Jim (9/5): -
• Alina (8/5): - Nice hostel
• Winterluso (9/5): Excellent but... - Everything eqs surprising and good than i expected I think rooms decoration should be more colourful like the living room. The walls are dirty and empty. This is an idea

• Daniel (10/5): Au calme dans le quartier historique de Thamel. - L'emplacement est top, l'établissement est très spacieux avec la possibilité de se restaurer, la chambre double est grande avec une belle salle de vain, le personnel est très compétent. RIEN
• Labiba Ferdous (10/5): -
• Bartek (10/5): - Great hostel with good vibes Nothing
• Bartek (10/5): - Very helpful and nice staff. Place it's a perfect choice for solo traveler or a group of friends. Nice food and social areas. Good location and pretty quiet for Thamel. Nothing really. Good hostel.
• Bartek (10/5): - Very nice hostel! Nothing.
• CY (8/5): -

• Francisca (9/5): Perfect stay in the center of Thamel - Perfect location in the center of Thamel. Easily accessible. Very friendly and helpful staff, and I loved the common area and the food. There are enough showers and toilets, which are also clean. I extended my stay and have been there for almost one week. Also, the price is very reasonable. Would definitely come back to this place.
• Jindrich (10/5): -
• Guillaume (10/5): Super kind and caring staff - Big common spaces and cleanliness Streets around can be noisy sometimes
• Guillaume (9/5): Above expectation, highly recommend - Well located, the staff was super kind, caring and pleasant, food was good and everything was clean So well located that it may be a bit noisy with street noises, car horns, etc.
• Guillaume (9/5): Everything I could wait from a guest house - The staff, the location and the big common spaces The noise from the surroundings
• Alison (10/5): Clean and Comfortable - I absolutely loved this hostel!! Great location, atmosphere, and staff!! Room was clean and comfortable! You may need to save a photo of this hostel on a map however, because most taxi drivers did not know where it was located. Highly recommend!!
• Andy (10/5): - The whole space is fresh and modern. We had a private twin room, which was huge, and the bathroom had the most amazing hot shower with great water pressure! The communal areas are comfortable and clean, and there’s a great outdoor space! The people working here are friendly and proficient. Only downside for us is that they don’t cater for vegans. We unexpectedly had breakfast included in our room rate, which was great, but could only get the fruit and coffee - part of one of the three breakfasts on offer. More labelled, vegan-friendly items would be wonderful!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - great location, clean, happy, 100 year anniversary= free food and beer!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - its good location, easy to access to Thamel and old market . Nice place to stay !
• Martina (10/5): Great stay! - Absolutely fantastic stay before and after trekking. Was great to come back to friendly faces and seriously strong and hot showers! Great location, good food and really clean and spacious rooms and common areas. Will definitely be back!
