The location is right in the middle of Thamel with everything close by. I love the staff, we became instant friends - Ashish, Nisha and others were always up for a little chat, everyone is helpful with organizing treks and recommendations. Pramod, Gopi and others in the owners' team made my stay very pleasant. I also like the cleanliness and that rooms are for 4 people, making it not overcrowded. Moreover, you can easily eat here with quite a selection if you don't want to wander around the city too much to find something. Also, they will gladly do your laundry :)

I stayed here for 3 nights and had a wonderful experience. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. I stayed in the dorm room on the top floor, which was comfortable and well-maintained. The rooftop restaurant is a perfect spot to relax, enjoy good food, and spend time chatting with friends. Overall, I really loved my stay here and would definitely recommend it!

Great location, in Thamel, close to the central shopping district but I'm a relatively quiet area. Great service, friendly staff. Staffed by security 24/7.

Everything. Everyone was so kind and accommodating. Not pushy at all. So nice. And my room THE BEST. I was in a bird’s nest in the BIRD’s NEST. Grounds so pretty and quiet also. Always hot water, everything clean, everyone genuinely smiling. Such a pleasant stay in the city i know and visit very very frequently but always stay away from the center. I had to be in the city this time and had some reservations. Bird’s Nest was such a welcome

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
