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.

I loved my stay at Swastik! Such a personal experience as I got to speak with and get to know the owner and manager personally, who were both so friendly, fun and knowledgeable about the area. The hostel was clean and well maintained and the staff are always happy to help and genuinely want to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I also met such nice and interesting people at the hostel, I can’t say I met anyone I didn’t like! The food was also amazing and really reasonably priced. I ate the best dal bhat I had in my whole Nepal visit and all the vegetables were organic and grown on the hostel’s own farm. Bhaktapur was also an incredible city with such a beautiful insight into traditional Nepali culture with the friendliest people!

Located in Kathmandu, 2 km from Swayambhu, Birds Nest Hostel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a bar.

I stayed here for 10 days and after trekking and before my flight home. It's a lovely friendly hostel, hot showers, lots of different areas to sit and enjoy peace and quiet, whilst being convenient for Thamel. Sunny and Nitesh and all the staff were always helpful. I would definitely recommend and if I ever come back to Nepal I would stay here.

This is one of my favourite hostels I've ever stayed at. The staff are awesome, so friendly and helpful. The garden is so chill, a great haven from the madness of Thamel. And the facilities have everything you need. Highly recommend this place.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location and great vibe. I met a lot of interesting people at Hostel Swastik that went on to become good friends. The staff are helpful and Bishwo the owner is a really great guy with interesting projects ongoing. I will never stay anywhere else except here whenever I'm in Bhaktapur.

    Great location next to the main square, friendly and welcoming staff, spacious comfortable room with attached bathroom. Excellent value for money. Good food (cheap too), though it took us a day to realise that they operate as a restaurant too, they are so laid back and unassuming!

    Super cozy and friendly hostel in a great location. Bishwo, the owner is very helpful and knows a lot about the area. He helped me with my indian visa and recommended the best local restaurants and places to go in Bhaktapur as well as outside the city. The hot showers work very well and the beds are comfortable. Furthermore you can use the rooftop terrace of the guesthouse just across the streets for some amazing sunset.

    I loved the atmosphere at Swastik hostel. It's a small hostel, but it has a range of different rooms and a guesthouse with private rooms nearby. The people are very chill, spontaneous and hospitable. I felt taken care of, safe and never lonely. We discovered new parts of Bhaktapur every evening for the Dashain festival and really got the local experience thanks to the host, Bishwo. And I still feel like there is loads to discover. I will be back! 😀

    The Hostel is a good place if you search for something cheaper in Bhaktapur. The owner and people there are very nice, helpful, kind and know a lot about the place and environment! They also take you to trips like a waterfall!
