    Nice stay !
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    the showers are not very clean but probably because of the amount of people + trekking shoes

    nice location with very nice people ! The people that come to wander thirst are always so sweet :) Lots of common areas where you can meet people. The 4 bed dormitory is very nice and spatious, the 6th one not very but alright. The staff is lovely.

    Great place. Friendly staff, even got a welcome drink. Social vibe depends from day to day. Clean hostel (just rembember they clean the dorm bathrooms little early). Located in a side street of Thamel (better, cause no noise from the traffic). Definetly recommend it! Cheers from Holland

    Nice stay at Wander thirst
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The only thing that bothered me was the shower. Not all of them had hot water, and they weren't clean. In the morning, they were perfect, but at the end of the day, they were covered in mud. Maybe it's the people who went there who weren't being respectful, but it would be really nice to have the showers cleaned another time during the day.

    the location is perfect, a bit outside of the chaos of Kathmandu, I really loved the 4 bed dormitory, lots of space and very comfortable. The food you can gt at the hostel is also very nice, but the highlight is the people that go to wander thirst and the staff! Lots of nice people :)

    I stayed 2 weeks, and booked a private room with shared bathroom. Got upgraded with a room with my own bathroom at no extra cost. I got greated by the team with a free cup of tea. I had an amazing bed, hot water everyday. The staff were so nice, and did an amazing job. The food was good and portions were generous. Location is excellent 👌. I came to Kathmandu to study and this place was perfect. I could have quiet alone time when I wanted with my spacious room, yet it was easy to meet people at the outdoor lounge area when I felt like it. I recommend staying there.

    It would be good if shared shower areas had hooks on the back of doors to hang stuff on to avoid them getting wet. Drivers sometimes got lost looking for the location and a signpost to the hostel further back on Kushlechaur Marg from Paknajol Marg may help with this.

    I stayed here at the beginning and end of a 6 week trip in Nepal last year. I am booking it again for my next trip. The staff were super friendly and helpful. I had several delicious meals during my stay and I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the social areas. I also loved the location being slightly tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Thamel but also within easy walking distance of cultural attractions, shopping and entertainment.

    Showers can be a bit temperamental, sometimes hot sometimes not, but they’re still pretty good

    Very chilled vibe hostel, I’ve stayed here a few times now. It’s a good spot to enjoy the vibrant Kathmandu while having a relaxed place to rest. The staff are very kind and helpful, was able to book bus tickets with them and ask various questions ☺️

    A very noisy place, as most hostels are, however it was noisy at night from other guests and then noisy from about 7am in the morning onwards because of staff. Bed was slightly small for a couple too.

    The vibe of the hostel was very cool, lots of communal space to sit and relax outside of the room. Food and drink were good.

    The shower was never really hot. My bed was next to a window that didn’t close fully. All around was pretty chilly.

    Loved the art on the walls, such a chill vibe. Big blankets also great
