Best Hostel

Lazimpat, Kathmandu

At the hostel, every room is equipped with a patio with a city view. The rooms come with a safety deposit box, while selected rooms come with a balcony and others also offer mountain views. At Best Hostel each room has bed linen and towels. I absolutely loved the hosts here. Everyone was so kind, genuinely caring, and excellent hosts. The food is amazing, the shower is the hottest shower you will ever take- which is amazing after many cold showers in Nepal! The hosts make you feel like family and the garden area is so comfortable to sit and have tea and meet people from all over the world! I was visiting my friend here and I was so impressed that I changed my schedule to stay a few days here with her and once on the way back from my other travels. it’s off the main road tucked out of the way which I loved. There is a school nearby and the kids will say hi and wave out the windows at you. it’s such a loving space.

The property is around 6.8 km from Hanuman Dhoka, 7 km from Pashupatinath and 7.2 km from Kathmandu Durbar Square. The accommodation offers room service and luggage storage space for guests. The staff was really friendly and helpful, especially Garima. The beds are simple but comfy, with super soft blankets. It's the closest hostel to Patan Durbar Square that I could find on booking, about 10 min walking to get there. As the family just started the hostel, facilities are basic but newly renovated, so very clean and in good condition. They told me they have great plans to furnish and decorate the rooftop terrace to create a more cozy common area.
