"Sara's Backpackers Hotel is really OK. The location is practical, you can get to important places QUICKLY like the Pashupatinath Temple or the Garden of Dreams. The rooms are clean, but a bit simply furnished. WIFI IS free, but sometimes a bit slow. THE staff is super friendly and helps with everything, whether it's excursions or questions about the area. Breakfast is OK too, but not super special - just typical of the country. The rooftop terrace is a real highlight, a nice view to relax. There are also bikes to rent, which is cool. A few things could be better, e.g. the beds are a bit hard and the showers could be more modern. Overall, though, it's good value for money. Would come back if I'm in the area! ⭐⭐⭐⭐"

The Sparkling Turtle Backpackers Hostel

Hotels in Nagarjun

"We read comments from other guests and we started to book 2 nights at Hostel de Ajeet. It was a good decision, no doubt, because we stayed 6 nights finally. The building is clean and built a couple of years ago. The giant bed and has a hot water shower. Being there is also sharing with your family, because they reigned the local in a very close way. It is 200 metres from the Monkey Temple and the National Museum."

Holiday Hostel

Hotels in Kathmandu

"Had a great 2-night stay at Holiday Hostel. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful — quick to sort out transport and full of good local tips. The place has a nice, relaxed environment and the rooftop bar is a real highlight, perfect for winding down in the evening. Location couldn't be more convenient, right in the heart of Thamel with everything within walking distance. Great value for the price — would definitely stay again."

Hotel Sohum

Hotels in Kaldhara,Kathmandu

"The price of the shared room seems reasonable considering the quality and location—close to the heart of Thamel. However, the room is a bit small, and during hot seasons, dealing with the heat without AC can be a challenge. I’d like to highlight the excellent reception service, especially from Mónica, who was very attentive and always willing to chat or help with anything. I’m truly grateful for the staff’s hospitality."

Thamel Hotel & Spa

Hotel near Thamel,Kathmandu

"It's a little bit of a walk from the Thamel area and in a secluded location, but it wasn't inconvenient for sightseeing. I stayed in a 6-person dormitory on the top floor, and the shower toilet was clean and acceptable. There was also toilet paper provided, so I think this hostel is within the acceptable range for Japanese people. There is no elevator, so it is a bit difficult to go up and down, but other than that it was a comfortable hostel. The owner was able to communicate in English via Whatsapp and was quick to respond to various questions and tour requests. I organized a half-day hiking tour of Nagarkot, which included a guide and car for about 17,000 Nepalese rupees."

Famous House Kathmandu

Amazing

Guest User

Extremely clean hostel. The bed was comfortable, with a power outlet, a lamp, and a privacy curtain. The shower area was spotless with new fixtures and excellent water pressure. They even had toilet paper, which is a rare find in Kathmandu hostels! Great location and fast internet. Perfect for a couple of days.

After a long time of searching, I found this newly opened hotel. The breakfast is very delicious, and most importantly, it is very close to the pagoda. You can see the pagoda from the roof, which is very solemn. The room facilities are very clean and in place, and the bathroom is very new. Hot water is available all day long, so you don't have to worry about not having a hot shower. There are floor-to-ceiling windows with views, so I chose to stay here for a few more days. The boss is very helpful and is very willing to recommend the surrounding tourist attractions, and he also acts as a guide. If he leads you, it saves time, effort and money. Choosing to stay at Little Buddha can save time and money in all aspects. The stone slabs in front of the door are very comfortable to walk on. Friends who have stayed in other hotels have praised it very much. I will still book this hotel next time.

In the Tamil area, but not the most central one. The room is normal, not dirty but not very comfortable. The best thing about this hotel is that the waiter is very helpful and helpful. For backpackers with a budget, this hotel is still worth recommending.
