“Very good experience.”
The staff was very friendly and helpful, making me feel super welcome. My room is clean and spacious enough for throwing stuff around while planning for the trek. Location is amazing as well. Everything is within 5-10 minutes walk from the hotel.

“A really central and peaceful stay in Kathmandu”
Kwabahal is in a prime location in the Thamel area, really central and walkable to lots of shops and restaurants. The social area is also great for meeting other travellers and just relaxing for a break from Kathmandu chaos.

Great hostel. The rooms are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean, and the restaurant has such a vibe. The rooms have smallish lockers for each bed (bring a lock). The staff were so friendly and the French toast was actually to die for.
