+The best price quality: The beds are very comfortable. The facilities are perfect. Amazing service. Perfect place to come for a rest. The monkey temple is nearby.
−If you want to see something (excluding the monkey temple) you have to take transportation.

“A positive stay with good value for money in a quieter part of Kathmandu”
+Clean, quiet, spacious room with balcony, good views of the city, with helpful and hospitable staff. The hostel is conveniently located next to Swayambhu Mahachaitya (Monkey Temple), which is a great first attraction to visit in the city. There are also a number of great cafes in the area - in particular, I'd recommend, Cafe Nomada, Salt and Pepper, and BIA Cafe. Whilst not located in the centre of town, it's cheap to order a bike or car via an app into the city.

+Amazing location up the hill with a stunning view over the city, and so close to Monkey Temple. The family was super welcoming and friendly, and made every effort to include me and advise me help my trip run smoothly. Due to the season being off-peak, I had the dorm room to myself which was fantastic. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Kathmandu!

“Great hostel, which I can highly recommend.”
+I had a wonderful time at the hostel. It was the best accommodation I had in Kathmandu. The very clean rooms are modernly furnished with a balcony and bathroom. I would especially like to thank Ajeet and his wife. I had a health problem, and Ajeet quickly arranged an appointment for me, drove me to the hospital, and cared for me there very attentively. Thank you again so much. The hostel is in a quiet location, yet close to the Monkey Temple. The Tergar Monastery of Mingyor Rinpoche is also easily accessible.

“Family feeling stay”
+Quiet and clean house, beautiful views and good energy. Ajeet and his family make you feel like home. I like the location as well, everything is neat and at the same time you feel peace and the nature.

“Excellent facilities and super friendly, helpful staff”
+> The beds and facilities (bathroom, shower, lockers) in the 6 bed dormitories were great. Each bed has its own personal light and power outlet, as well as a curtain you can close along the side, which is really nice. The windows in the rooms are also good, and you can open a screen window if you want some fresh air without letting mosquitos in. The hot water to the showers is also really good quality. > The staff, led by Azet, are super friendly and accommodating. > The hostel is very clean and well maintained, with a nice common room. > You can buy 1L bottles of water at the front desk for just 20 rupees, which is very convenient. > The wifi is good quality, though it can occasionally drop in and out.
−> There's not really much food options at the hostel itself, though there are some nice cafes about 15 minutes walk away near Swayambhunath. You can also easily order food via the Foodmandu app.

+Recently I stayed at The Sparkling Turtle Hostel and I had a wonderful experience. The location, house, and rooms were all very nice, clean, and comfortable. I really enjoyed my stay there. Special thanks to Mr. Ajit, who attended to me during my stay. He is a very humble and kind person and made me feel very welcome. Highly recommended place to stay in Kathmandu.” 😊 Specially Thankyou Mr Ajit Sir for everything...
