The location is a ~25min from Thamel centre and this can feel a bit far to walk alone at night. I must note that I did always feel safe when walking back each night.

The staff are incredibly helpful. Santos especially went above and beyond to help me come up with day itineraries, and change a domestic flight time. They were incredibly inviting at all times, and very helpful!

The staff were very accommodating in all aspects, from helping with getting a sim card to suggestions for sightseeing and hiking. Always available to help, have a fun chat and any other questions travellers have.

A delight staying here. Room was extremely clean with comfortable bedding, bathroom clean with hot water on demand and breakfast was home cooked every day with omelet and sautéed vegetables. The manager, Santos, was very accommodating and organise my airport transfer promptly. I felt extremely welcomed

I struggled to find it when I first arrived, although noticed later on that there were signposts to the property, I just came from a different direction. Taxi driver didn't know where to take me. The dorm bed had the hardest mattress I've ever slept on, but a good duvet and pillow made up for it and I was comfy enough. I sat on a friend's bed who got a private double room and that was way comfier! So maybe go private if you're not on a tight budget. Dorm room is also quite cramped, so not much space for putting stuff (had to keep my luggage under the bed). But I guess you get what you pay for, and I was happy to compromise as the service was awesome. Bathroom gets soaked after someone showers, so bring some flip flops or sliders with you. Cleaning could be improved. Dorm room needs dusting, floor cleaned and bins emptied daily (same for bathroom). The ladder up to the top bunk needs attaching to the bed at the bottom, as it swings out and feels a little scary and makes lots of noise.

This is a genuine family run business, so I wouldn't even call the team members "staff". They really go above and beyond to make you feel like part of their family. We were so grateful to be able to celebrate Dashain with the family, it really enhanced our experience in Kathmandu. Great value for money. Yummy food and beers available. Good curtains in the dorm beds to give you some privacy, as well as a plug socket, light and hooks by the bed. Lockers in the room. Towel and unlimited bottled water provided, which was a really nice touch. Also bar soap on the shelf outside the bathroom. Comfy pillow and duvet. Seating area outside with tables and chairs, and nice decor with plants and typical Nepalese flags. Complementary tea/coffee in the morning was another nice touch, and also the option to have breakfast (maybe included with some room rates?)

It seemed that it was at an end of a maze of roads to start but after one or two trips I found it very easy to navigate both too and from.

The staff are great here, very chatty and willing to help you with almost anything. The breakfast was amazing and served good food all day. I had a private room that was clean and relatively well soundproofed. I enjoyed the fact that this was outside thamel but at the same time a close walk away. The area seemed safe in the evening.

A bit difficult for taxi driver to find. Have them call the owner for directions

Down a quiet street outside Thamel with a garden setting and friendly helpful staff.

I recently had a fantastic stay at this hostel, which exceeded all my expectations. One of the manager, Santosh,played an integral role in making my experience truly enjoyable. The hostel itself was clean and comfortable, with spacious rooms and well-maintained common areas. Santos went above and beyond in ensuring I had everything I needed, offering great recommendations and organizing activities for guests. The staff were friendly and professional, adding to the welcoming atmosphere. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel for its exceptional service and warm hospitality. Thank you, Santos, for making my stay unforgettable!

We stayed a total of three nights at Gurung's home and definitely left Kathmandu feeling satisfied with the accommodation. The courtyard is super cozy and the breakfast more than fine. The rooms were also fully equipped, except for a shower that was not always that hot. But that turned out to be a problem in 80% of Nepali hostels and hotels. As in all of Nepal, the Gurung family shower their customers with offers, for activities and transportation. Sometimes that was a bit unnecessary for us, but for other people it can come in handy. During our trekking through Langtang Valley, we could also leave our unnecessary stuff and backpack behind. Always convenient. So overall, we were definitely satisfied with our contact with this hospitable family and our stay in Gurung's home.
