“Cultural Paradise”
The location is amazing, you are at the door of Bhaktapur's heart. I found superb that the owner and staff share with us the cultural events, they showed us around, told us about the traditional food and best places to eat and also enjoyed with us! We felt like a family there, everybody was very kind and helpful with anything we needed. Also the facilities are comfortable and clean, the place is super cool, warm space ideal to meet other travelers. But you can also find your space at the terrace and enjoy nice views of the city and mountains. We will definitely come back! Pd: We tried the best Dahl Bhat in Nepal here ;)

“More of a home than a hostel!”
I loved my stay at Swastik! Such a personal experience as I got to speak with and get to know the owner and manager personally, who were both so friendly, fun and knowledgeable about the area. The hostel was clean and well maintained and the staff are always happy to help and genuinely want to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I also met such nice and interesting people at the hostel, I can’t say I met anyone I didn’t like! The food was also amazing and really reasonably priced. I ate the best dal bhat I had in my whole Nepal visit and all the vegetables were organic and grown on the hostel’s own farm. Bhaktapur was also an incredible city with such a beautiful insight into traditional Nepali culture with the friendliest people!

“One of the few "real" hostel in Bhaktapur, where to meet incredible people!”
A very nice hostel, as we would have in Europe: a place where people go to be together, to meet other travellers. The owner and the staff are very welcoming, can give good avice, and they would always take time for you. The owner is nepali, and very open-minded, I highly appreciated that we could talk a lot about nepali culture, and being able to ask any question I would have. I would be happy to go there again, maybe to volunteer next time ;) The dorms are nice, equipped with lockers, and the private room that I had for one night was also very nice.

I literally LOVE this place. It's not only about the place itself, but also the people (staff) make it such a nice place to be. It felt more like home compared to any other hostel where I've been.
