    This hostel is a mind-blowing treasure tucked away from the hustle and bustle, with jaw-dropping views from the rooftop. The friendly Nepali family treats you like their own, while the clean rooms and ideal location make it super easy to meet fellow travelers. And with their helpful guidance, you'll save yourself from scams and uncover local delicacies. The luggage storage is a lifesaver, and for the young and budget-conscious backpacker, this place is an absolute delight.

    The staff at the 24-hour front desk were incredibly helpful and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure I had a pleasant stay, answering all my questions and providing great recommendations for exploring Kathmandu. The shared lounge area was like a cozy oasis, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. It felt like being snuggled up in a warm blanket, surrounded by good vibes and interesting people.

    Occasional issue with hot water.

    The owners go out of their way to help with storing trekking gear, lending trekking poles, and assisting with sending belongings home. the common area offers a great rooftop view and tasty food. the rooms are basic but provide good value for the price. the staff is supportive and responsive to any requests for information.

    Felt so at home, no reason to complain.

    My stay at this hostel was absolutely mind-blowing! The beautiful rooftop terrace provided jaw-dropping views of the Monkey temple, and it was just a short walk away. The location was super convenient, close to the bus station and Durbar Square. The 10-bed room was clean and comfortable, with cozy beds and curtains for privacy. The owners, who were like a second family, were incredibly helpful in planning activities and arranging affordable transportation. The food was amazing and worth every penny. I felt right at home and would highly recommend this place to anyone on a budget. The rooftop was incredibly charming, offering stunning views day and night. The rooms were cozy and had everything needed. The owners were always smiling, listening, and willing to assist. The location was perfect, peaceful yet close to everything.

    I got a great value for my money at Planet Nomad. The room was cozy and had all the necessary amenities. The location was perfect, near all the attractions but on a quiet street. The staff treated me with kindness and always had a smile on their face.

    The breakfast selection could be improved with more variety.

    A delightful surprise was the garden at this hostel. It was like entering a green oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu. Sitting there, I felt as if I had stumbled upon a hidden paradise, far away from the chaos of the city.

    Beds were quite hard.
