Located in Kathmandu, 3.7 km from Hanuman Dhoka, Best Hostel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. Providing a bar, the property is located within 4.3 km of Kathmandu Durbar Square. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi. The place radiates warmth and positive energy, making it the perfect escape. The rooms are spacious, and the vibe is both relaxing and rejuvenating. What truly sets this place apart is the restaurant—every dish I tried was exceptional, meeting Western standards in both taste and presentation. Over my 10-day stay, I explored the menu extensively, and it consistently exceeded expectations. The staff embodies hospitality at its finest, with a special mention for Santoshi. She is the heart and soul of the place—her warmth, enthusiasm, and vibrant energy create an atmosphere that feels like home. I originally planned to stay for three days but found myself so drawn to the good vibes and genuine care that I couldn’t resist extending my stay. It’s a place you won’t want to leave.

Hostel Swastik is located in Bhaktapur, less than 1 km from Bhaktapur Durbar Square and 12 km from Patan Durbar Square. The property features a bar, as well as a restaurant serving Nepalese cuisine. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared lounge and free WiFi. The location is amazing, you are at the door of Bhaktapur's heart. I found superb that the owner and staff share with us the cultural events, they showed us around, told us about the traditional food and best places to eat and also enjoyed with us! We felt like a family there, everybody was very kind and helpful with anything we needed. Also the facilities are comfortable and clean, the place is super cool, warm space ideal to meet other travelers. But you can also find your space at the terrace and enjoy nice views of the city and mountains. We will definitely come back! Pd: We tried the best Dahl Bhat in Nepal here ;)
