    Looks like a shelter home not a Hostel. Pathetic

    No soap or any other amminities in washroom. No storage locker for your luggage, just a small locker to keep laptop etc. Beds don't have curtains for privacy. Structure of bed is pathetic, it feels the upper bunk might break and fall anytime. The whole bed shakes as if there's an earthquake. In certain rooms there are 10-12 beds in a single room.. with very little open space. No personal light on beds. No place to keep your clothes, I had to hang my clothes on window pane. Just two fans at the end of hall.. rest of the people have to sleep without fan. No mosquito repellent put up by facility.

    It is close to Thamel market, and has a common space on terrace. Nothing else is good about this place.

    Social hostel, don't look around the bathroom too much.. One thing that really bothered me was that they moved my stuff from my bed after the first night and later that day someone else slept in my bed. There was still a bed for me in the dorm, but I had to pick a different one.

    There could be some curtains on the beds to have a little bit more privacy. It does not cost too much and makes a lot of difference to a traveller. Also, the toilets are very small and sometimes it's not too comfortable to use them.

    The personnel is very helpful, there is a nice rooftop restaurant to have your tea or some snack or just rest or work. Wifi works ok, the lockers are available on the ground floor with no extra charge.

    - the bunk beds were extremely unstable, any time the girl on the bed above me sneezed or turn over, entire bed swayed for 2 minutes. The beds were clearly poorly made and cheap - no soap in none of the bathrooms, the toilet paper was always wet or no toilet paper - only cold water in the sinks - i came to the hostel healthy but got a cold there from other people in a room- again- buy some soap at least if you don’t have warm water in the hostel

    - the location is ok

    slightly ran down and not as it looks in the pictures. I booked a private room - and the bathroom was so so poorly designed that I didn’t fit on the toilet and it was impossible to wash my face :). staff was great though

    The place itself was good, especially the rooftop area however the bathrooms and toilets are a little weird, they only have half doors. Due to the elections, my bus to India got cancelled and so I had to check out a little late since I was arranging for a bus. The staff was a little rude about that. I understand I should have informed them a bit earlier but it wasn't my fault either since the bus was abruptly cancelled due to elections and I wasn't sure whether I would have to extend my stay or not. Other than that, it was a smooth stay and other staff members especially on the rooftop were quite helpful.

    Our room was quite noisy at night, particularly barking dogs and sometimes other guests outside the room. Having a shower curtain in the wet room would have been better as everything got wet everytime we showered and water came out of the bathroom. We weren’t provided with towels so used our own.

    Two storey roof terrace is a great place to chill and meet people. Great view and atmosphere up there! We had a private room which was really spacious. All staff we spoke to were really helpful and lovely. We extended our stay by 4 nights in the end. Hot showers every evening. Good wifi connection.

    The hostel is right at the main road, so you will hear a lot of traffic noise and general noise from the street. Also the room was not insulated at all and the windows didn't close properly, so it was really loud, also coming from the other floors through the door. The room itself was very bare, but alright. I had a private room with two beds and both were incredibly uncomfortable to sleep on. The bathroom was kind of rundown and would constantly flood when using the sink (I know they usually do here in Nepal, but this was a lot of water). They also didn't provide soap to wash hands with. The rooftop is nice, but as a solo traveler it wasn't really inviting for getting to know other people, since all the sitting possibilities are small and far away from each other. Altogether I thought it was wayyyy to expensive for what was offered. Maybe the dorms are more worth it, since it would be cheaper. I would not recommend this hostel for a private room.

    The location of the hostel is pretty good. It also has a cozy rooftop where you can chill out. The staff was friendly. Pretty clean overall.

    The room was not clean, some lights were not working, hard bed and sheets were not smelling good.

    The place is in the center of Thamel, so you can walk through the streets easily and be back to hotel in a few minutes.

    The bathroom was very small & could be cleaner. It was quite noisy early morning with dogs barking and noise from the street.

    The rooftop area is very cosy & chill and you have nice views. They serve momos & beers. The bed was really clean with white sheets and a cosy duvet.
