DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOSTEL AS A SOLO FEMALE TRAVELLER !!!! This hostel needs an education on women’s rights. I stayed here for two nights at the end of my time in Nepal. During my first night a man climbed into my bed uninvited. And the next day I was randomly filmed by a different man in the hostel room. When I complained to the hostel staff, at first I was met with laughter. They then eventually sorted me out with a female only dorm for my second night but it took them forever to do and lots of complaining from my end. After doing this the hostel manager then attempted to gaslight me into thinking that it was me who had misunderstood these situations. I was made to feel horrendous during my time in this hostel. Such poor customer service ! Following a discussion with the hostel manager, the hostel owner then approached me… several excuses etc. were given until finally a half hearted apology was made. I’ve stayed and also worked in many hostels before and I have never come across such poor communication and customer service.

Great hostel in Thamel with very friendly staff! I stayed here for 10 days in a private room. The room was clean, modern, spacious and importantly the bathroom had a good hot water supply. The hostel is clean, spacious, and has nice common areas to meet people and relax. There is also a bar there, so you can enjoy a few drinks, and they also serve food which is good and well priced. All of the staff were also very friendly and helpful. Thanks for a great stay!

This place is amazing. My friends and I crashed here after a 10 day meditation course. I did not actually stay in the hostel, as I had a late night flight, but they were kind enough to allow me to drop my bags for the day and use their speedy wifi. They have such a beautiful space and the location is perfectly central. The staff was so nice, so helpful, and they had great music playing. All in all such a cool vibe for a hostel, I would definitely recommend this place! I did see my friends' room and the bathroom--all super spacious and clean.

This hostel is clean, with perfect location at a good price. The common areas are perfect to work or to chill. The terrace is super nice and the food at their restaurant is just delicious. The staff is friendly and helpful. The wifi at the rooms is a bit unstable but in the common areas it works well. At night can be a bit noisy (from the street) but it's actually not that bad compared to other hostels in the area (Thamel it's a busy area, so there's no much they can do). The toilets are clean and has hot water almost always. It's not a party hostels but yet social. You're not allowed to eat outside food, but the restaurant has a very good price.

Mixed feelings about this place. Rooms are clean but the mattresses are very stiff (slept on better beds at 4000m in the Everest region). People at the reception are great and very friendly but the people from the cafe are very insistent that you eat their food. When they have nothing to do, they come see you and ask you if you wanna order food all the time. Location is great but very noisy on the weekend. Also they make you pay for luggage storage, which a lot of other hostel do not. A little overrated for the price.
