    The room was all good but it could be a bit more clean

    The staff is very kind, friendly and helpful. They look after you and make you feel very comfortable. The location is just great, just some steps away from busy Thamel area but close enough to get everywhere at a walking distance.

    Limited options for food offered by the hotel, and room/bathroom were "clean enough".

    The owner and its employees are very, very nice and helpful. The location is very close to the busy part of Thamel, but not too close, meaning it is quiet but still close to all the good restaurants of Thamel. Roof terrace is nice, too.

    The location was perfect (a bit tricky to find the first time though). Just across the road from Thamel, so quiet, but close to everything. The staff were super friendly and Saput (the owner) was so kind, patient and helpful. I arrived with no plans and he sat with me with a map to help me organise my time in Nepal. As an older solo traveller, the place was safe, calm, and very chill. Definitely not a party or super social hostel/hotel

    Nothing, everything works perfect

    Location is perfect; in a quiet alley close to Thamel road, shops and restaurants, easy access to all atractions of the city walking or by public transport. Rooms are big, clean and comfortable, breakfast was simple but enought. The best part is the staff's attention, they were always kind and so helpful, specially saput the manager, he helped me to get around and plan all my activities and transports. I would definitely come back and recommend it

    The rooms were neat and clean. The manager Mr.Saput was extremely helpful for planning and booking stuff during our stay in Kathmandu. The other staff were also polite and nice to deal with. And the property is just 2-3 mins away from Thamel street which was great!

    The Avalon House is a real good hostel. The Staff was realy kind and helpful. They could answer every question and also guided us to the bus, when we hat to go to Pokhara. We had a big and comfortable room withe a great view over Kathmandu. There was always hot water but the pressure was not that strong. The hot water came slow.

    Host (hard working, respective and experienced man), Hotel Team that always ready to help. The view from balcony, clean beds, all services are very respectful and subtle, you feel safe inside. It is close to tourist spots, but i never heard traffic noise and never saw shady persons around. I wish this place all the best.

    It's a bit faded generally, but very good value. Crossing to road into Thamel requires nerves of steel during busy times! Walk with confidence...

    Just outside the main tourist area. Roof terrace gives good view and nice place breakfast. Secure hotel (24hr guard). Quiet and comfortable.

    Do yourself a favour and stay here. Discover Kathmandu from the heart

    nothing

    If you want to discover the true Nepal from the heart then do yourself a favour and stay at Avalon House. Saput, his family and his lovely staff go above and beyond for their guests, they treat you as part of their own family. Immaculately clean rooms, great shower and the best rooftop terrace in Kathmandu. Perfect for looking out at the valley and mountains. You can hear the birds chirping! Location is perfect, a 1 minute walk to the busy part of Kathmandu Thamel but no traffic or noise once at Avalon house. Very close to all different shops and restaurants. It can be stressful with all the different tour agencies however Saput sat us down to explain all the options. Saput used to be a mountain guide so he has great knowledge of routes to suit your interests and time constraints. We booked our Annapurna Base Camp trek through Saput and it was the best decision we made. Our guide Rupes made the trek our favourite to date. His knowledge of the mountains combined with his humour and conversation made it the most enjoyable time. Saput was in regular conversation with us to check how we were going throughout our time in Nepal. I can’t rate Avalon house highly enough. Please stay here, you’ll fall in love with Nepal, I can’t recommend this more ! Thank you so much for having us :)

    Really, really enjoyed my stay at Avalon house! Our host was so kind. I arrived with some friends but spent my last two days in Kathmandu alone. One of the nights that I stayed by myself our host waited up late for me to ensure that I made it home safely even though I hadn't asked him to. Really loved the rooftop patio as well, my friends and I enjoyed spending time up there together. The rooms were a little bit more expensive than some of the other hostels in Tamel but you get what you pay for. The breakfast is very good and several of the rooms are very spacious!

    Not so easy to get there by taxi though they can easily order taxis for you which come right to the house. Generally easier to go by taxi from nearby which is easy.

    The staff were friendly and efficient and helpful. A lovely family run business. A comfortable, convenient place to stay in Kathmandu
