“If you enjoy connection and adventure I wouldn't go anywhere else.”
+The staff are absolutely incredible. The manager Prashid is astounding. I have never had staff go so far out of there way to help me enjoy my stay. Prashid arranged all my outings and messaged everyday I was off site to make sure everything was going well. These were off-site trekking he had no obligation to check in but he did. I was in Kathmandu for the festival and didn't know anyone so he took me to his family's home to celebrate so I could enjoy the experience. There isn't enough space in the comments to list all the things he went out of his way to help me with. It was my first time to Nepal and I couldn't ask for a better place to stay. The staff made to inform me what I should be careful with and where to go. The guided me to the BEST laundromat in Kathmandu amongst other things. If it's your first time to Nepal I would highly suggest Bird's Nest Hostel as place to stay. I've learned so much and met so many people because I chose to stay here. The price you pay does not come close to the value you get. If you are not meeting and talking with other travelers then you'll find yourself laughing with the staff. Prashid believes everyone who comes should feel like family. I can
−I don't really have much to comment here. I can only say there are many options as to where you can stay. You will get what you pay for so don't expect luxury if you are paying for economy. There are many options and I would make sure you ask if you don't like something.

“Best hostel in Kathmandu, and also in the world”
+After travelling through Asia for a year and staying in dozens of hostels, I can honestly say this is the best hostel I’ve stayed in. The property is beautiful, clean and very comfortable, and the beds are some of the most comfortable I’ve experienced in a hostel. The atmosphere is amazing, and what really makes this place special is the team. From the owner and manager to every single member of the reception team, everyone is incredibly kind, welcoming and helpful. The bar is also a great place to relax, enjoy a drink and meet other travellers. The location is perfect too, with many of Kathmandu’s main places to visit within easy reach. After a year of travelling, this hostel really stood out. I would absolutely come back and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Kathmandu! 🫶🏼

+This hostel is a really nice place to stay. It’s spacious, clean, and the beds are comfortable. The guys here are very helpful, especially Prasiddha and his friend. The rooftop has a lovely view of the mountains, and the location is convenient. Thamel is easily accessible by walking, which is a big plus. Overall, it’s a comfortable and welcoming place, and definitely worth staying here.

“Gerne wieder!”
+Alles da, was man braucht. Sehr schöner Innenhof zum Sitzen. Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal.
−Es ist etwas außerhalb des Zentrums von Thamel, dafür aber auch schön ruhig!
