Wifi is not stable, especially single room at the most behind, it can't be connect at all.

Friendly welcoming staff & boss, quite environment(that's why make their dorm always full!!). Clean toilet that clean up everyday by two staff every morning. 4-5 common area to sit(include rooftop).

Great location close to Thamel but not in the middle of the craziness. Staff is excellent and sells food and drinks - just pick something out of the fridge and make eye contact with the staff and they bill it directly to your room which is very convenient. The layout of the place is very nice with lots of outdoor common areas with seating. Overall quality of facilities was good, but will differ from Western standards. I would strongly recommend, especially if you're younger or solo travelling as it is very easy to meet and converse with other guests and the staff.

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.

Dorms and bathrooms are pretty basic

The staff is super friendly, helpful with everything from booking taxi to trek etc. Always wishing me good morning and available for any type of information. The food menu is extensive and tasty. The garden provides a comfortable space in the busy city. It is easy to meet other travellers in the common space.I came back three times and felt at home there :)

I recently stayed at Birds Nest in Nepal, and it was truly a wonderful experience. Birds Nest felt like a serene escape from the chaos of daily life. The room was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to make me feel at home.

Good place to stay and relax, close to Thamel. Stayed here for a week and would recommend it for a longer stay.

Really calm and relaxing place but also with good community vibes. The private room was nicer than expected. I stayed at a different hostel initially in KMD (which was ok) and was very happy to have changed to Birds Nest.

A very charming place at the outskirts of Thamel. Very beautiful view stretching all the way from the Monkey Temple and the surrounding valley of Kathmandu. Also Sonny was such a kind and helpful person working there.

Nothing

Sunny was very helpful and friendly - in fact all the staff were amazing. Slightly out of the bustle but great location and very quiet. Food was also really good. I highly recommend this place.

Comfortable room and a lot of nice spaces to hang out and meet other people. The staff (especially Sunny) is really nice and go out of their way to make sure your stay is as good as possible.

Bathrooms could be better, but are clean and standard for Nepal so can’t complain! Mosquito nets would also be a good addition.

Really nice community vibe here for travellers to meet one another, with relaxing surroundings, only a short walk to the main streets in Thamel. The restaurant here is also really good and well priced! Staff are great especially the manager Sunny. They can also help to arrange everything for your trekking plans including leaving your luggage there if needed. There is also great views from the roof top. Can’t beat the value for money here! Thank you for a wonderful stay 🙏🏼💕

This hostel is really chill and relaxing. The beds are really nice too. If you want a place to chill and close to Thamel it's the place to go.

I spent a whole day looking for a suitable hostel in Kathmandu. After comparing 6 hostels, I finally chose Birds Nest. It turned out to be the best choice I made. I was attracted by the beautiful courtyard of the hostel at first, as if I was in the nature. Of course, the staff here are also super nice, we greeted and chatted every day. There are also very delicious food here, with local characteristics and reasonable prices.
