    Some sheets and towels need to be replaced as they have rips Curtain for beds would be nice for privacy The bathroom is not so clean sometimes

    Stayed there twice and will probably be back for the 3rd. The owner is such a nice man, well all employees are actually. The dorm is spacious with a cute balcony. It's clean enough. The terrace and the garden are great to chill and meet people. Breakfast is more than enough with eggs, ghee, jam, bread, banana, coffee or tea and juice

    The location is excellent (just a minute walk to thamel), rooms are very comfortable, breakfast is consistent and good. Free luagge storage. We've stayed here at least 3 times now and would highly recommend it.

    The staff was really helpful. They arranged transport & were always at place. I liked everything at the hotel:)) It's near the popular tourist district - Thamel. It's got a great view from the roof terrace onto Kathmandu :)) You can get tasty breakfasts prepared for you ( you can choose what you want) Can reccomend it fully :))

    This was my second stay at Elbrus Home, and I loved both visits! The owner is amazing and kind, always available to help out with a smile. The facilities are great, the house has a nice atmosphere and full of other travelers/backpackers, and it is exceptional value for the money. Location is ideal, walkable to the main tourist area and many other sights. I am sure I will be back again on my next visit to Nepal :)

    Great hosts very friendly and helpful, there is a tourist desk inside the hostel which offers great deals on trekking and other activities. We did the mardi Himal trek which was recommended to us and it was fantastic. Breakfast included amazing and very hot water.

    Will definitely stay here again when I’m back! The owners are incredibly kind, helpful and welcoming, they all always have a smile on their face! The rooms are kept clean, the bathroom also clean with a hot shower, and location is super convenient for getting around. It’s also a great place to meet people - everyone I connected with here was amazing. Plus, breakfast is quick, convenient, and great. Highly highly recommend!

    You should provide some electric heater more, as the weather is very humid in Kathmandu

    Khem is an exceptional host; he welcomed us warmly and was extremely kind, as were his collaborators. The trip he organized for us to Pokhara and Nagarkot was well-planned. Unfortunately, the roads are very rough because they are still paving them.

    Nothing. This place is awesome.

    I loved how comfortable and quiet the hostel was even though it's in a buzzing, vibrant area. It is very clean and great value. The location is fantastic with so many great restaurants, shops, etc. close by in Thamel. The bus station isn't too far either and we could easily walk there. The complimentary breakfast is delicious and a lovely way to start the day. The owner of the hostel was able to help with any questions we had and held some luggage while we visited other parts of Nepal. We will absolutely be back!

    Everything was perfect. The owner is very good. It feels like home. All the requests were promptly addressed and owner of the property is a very kind person. Location of the property is excellent near Thamel Market. You can easily cover Thamel as it is at walkable distance. They serve good breakfast which is complimentary.

    Perfect for my short stay in Kathmandu. The location is great and I enjoyed the roof terrace. The owner is so kind and helpful. He let me in at 4 in the morning cause my night bus arrived earlier than expected and helped me to figure out my trip to Pokhara. Would stay there again!

    Overall a good stay

    The location wasn't bad but it wasn't the best. It's good if you prefer somewhere quieter, but we prefer to be in the middle of everything. The owner didn't really give any helpful recommendations about the area. When we asked about restaurants he just said 'they're everywhere' which really isn't helpful, especially since we didn't find any in the area surrounding the hostel. It also felt like they really wanted to sell tours and when you're not interested they lose interest or keep pushing it.

    Free breakfast was good. The hostel was nicer than other similarly priced places in Kathmandu with a gorgeous garden. The owner walks guests to the bus stop each morning too which was quite nice.
