The property is located 1.3 km from Kathmandu Durbar Square, 2.8 km from Swayambhu and 3.8 km from Swayambhunath Temple. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi. They went over and beyond the call of duty by getting me a heater and filling my thermos with hot tea, as I had just come from warm Thailand with nothing but a swim suit, shorts, tank top, and flip flops, plus they got me a cab ride with their friend for a good price. The towels and comforter smelled extremely clean and the people were friendly and cheerful (the visitors and staff).

The property is around 2.9 km from Swayambhunath Temple, 5.4 km from Pashupatinath and 6.2 km from Boudhanath Stupa. The hostel also offers free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. Really nice community vibe here for travellers to meet one another, with relaxing surroundings, only a short walk to the main streets in Thamel. The restaurant here is also really good and well priced! Staff are great especially the manager Sunny. They can also help to arrange everything for your trekking plans including leaving your luggage there if needed. There is also great views from the roof top. Can’t beat the value for money here! Thank you for a wonderful stay 🙏🏼💕

Hostel Swastik is located in Bhaktapur, less than 1 km from Bhaktapur Durbar Square and 12 km from Patan Durbar Square. The property features a bar, as well as a restaurant serving Nepalese cuisine. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared lounge and free WiFi. 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!
