    Had a really nice stay here at Hiday Hostel. The rooms are nice and clean, it is located in the centre and the staff is really kind. It is also not really crowded, which is nice, but if you are looking to meet more fellow travellers, another place might be more suitable. By the way, the rooftop is amazing!

    I’m so lucky that I booked this hostel. I booked the 4 bed female dorm and it was super clear, I was also really happy that the shared toilet was in the dorm and we only had to share between us. It’s also a very quiet hostel with a lovely rooftop to work from. I fell sick when I arrived in Nepal and the staff went above and beyond to help me that I didn’t feel alone through one of my worst sickness! I wouldn’t hesitate to book if you’re thinking about it.

    This is the second time I have come here, the location is great, the staff are very friendly. The owner of the hostel is a very nice person. I am happy with everything here, the rooms are clean, there is a cafe on the rooftop which is very cozy. If you want to be in a good location with good price and good quality , you are in a good place.

    I stayed in 2 different rooms and both had some signal of people smoking in them before which gave me some discomfort. Wasnt a major problem but maybe good to have no-smoking rooms. I had to ask for another towel and toilet paper, I understand us westerners use it differently but good to have it in the room upon arrival.

    Easy to find get to other places, friendly staff, very comfy beds, warm showers anytime, not as noisy as I expected, got 2 big bottles of water for free and the breakfast was very good. They waited to pick me up even tho my flight was 4h late. The restaurant terrace is cozy and the upper terrace has a cozier area with the view to monkey temple! They were kind enough to storahe one of my luggages while I was in a retreat and came back a few days later. The owner is very kind and attentive, as well all the other staff members. Thanks for contributing for my amazing stay in Kathmandu.
