What I liked the most was how helpful the hosts are with advices, sorting things out for us in regards to day trips and super available. I feel like you can get an experience closer to what living in Nepal is as oppose to go to a standard hotel. Meeting his family was without doubt a magnificent surprise. The breakfast is outstanding as well, and you should definitely try Sugat’s restaurant, the food is amazing and the venue has the best environment, relaxed and romantic as well :) Thank you for time we spent there!

    The place has a pretty nice rooftop where you'll meet a bunch of fellow travelers as well as some locals. Free water refill and towels if you ask them. Staff was friendly and help you out with information to get around. Beds have curtains and I slept well overall. The hostel is quite well-located in the heart of Thamel. I can recommend this place if you're okay with very basic bathroom facilities.
