    I had an amazing time at a particular hostel in Nepal. the staff there was incredibly friendly and helpful. They made me feel right at home and went out of their way to ensure my comfort. the hostel itself was clean, modern, and provided everything I needed, including hot water, WiFi, and a TV with a variety of channels. the bar/restaurant on the top floor offered a beautiful view and was the perfect place to relax. I also enjoyed a tasty breakfast each morning. They even had a travel agency connection that helped me plan my trips at a great price. it was a fantastic experience, and I would highly recommend it. Cons: Don't have any issues at all. 👍.

    The dormitories rooms are perfect for groups on a budget, with the cheapest prices and the possibility to share with fewer people. I loved that even though it's a budget accommodation, there is a 24-hour cold shower available. The rooms are beautifully decorated with natural sunlight and extra long beds, making it a comfortable choice for groups. Each room has its own attached bathroom with a 24-hour hot and cold shower. Free wireless internet, cable TV, hot shower facilities, and free drinking water are available in all the rooms.

    Personally, I found the cold showers to be a bit too cold for my liking, but others may not mind.

    I had an amazing stay at a hostel in Kathmandu. The location was very central, making it easy for me to explore the tourist areas. The hostel was new and the beds were comfortable. The staff were super nice and friendly, always accommodating to my needs. The shared room was spacious and the overall atmosphere was quiet at night. I also loved that they had a rooftop kitchen where I could hang out. Despite a few minor issues with hot water and the lack of variety in breakfast, I would still highly recommend this hostel. my experience was excellent and I would definitely stay here again.

    The hostel has a sociable atmosphere, perfect for international travelers like me who want to escape the chaos of the city. The room was spacious, and I loved hanging out in the rooftop restaurant.

    Who needs hot water or a working cable TV anyway? Totally overrated.

    The breakfast was delicious and filling, with a rooftop cafe offering a pleasant view of the streets. The location in Thamel was excellent, with great shopping opportunities nearby. The beds were comfortable and each had a cabinet, lamp, and international plug. The rooms were spacious and the stairs to the upper bunk were steady.

    Nothing it was perfect.

    The location of the hostel is great for sightseeing, with interesting bars and shops nearby. the rooms are clean and cosy, with a library filled with interesting books. the staff is friendly and helpful, offering airport pick-up and organizing tours at reasonable prices. the hostel also has a rooftop terrace where you can enjoy a basic breakfast and a small bar/restaurant on the 6th floor to chill in the evening.

    Sometimes the staff can be a bit pushy in offering tours, asking several times.
