Set in Kathmandu, 1.1 km from Hanuman Dhoka, Kwabahal Boutique Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Boasting a bar, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 1.3 km from Kathmandu Durbar Square and around 600 metres from Thamel Chowk. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property.

At the hostel, all rooms have a balcony with a city view. All rooms include a safety deposit box, while selected rooms also offer a patio. This hostel, located in the heart of Thamel, became for me not so much a place to stay, but a place to meet and communicate with wonderful people. The hotsel is equipped with everything a tourist needs: a cozy and warm bed, a hot shower and an excellent breakfast in the garden. Special thanks to Pramod for help with tracking and Ashish for the excellent service at Breakfast House. I'd be happy to stay here again!

The breakfast offers continental, American or Asian options. At the hostel you will find a restaurant serving American and Nepalese cuisine. Vegetarian, dairy-free and vegan options can also be requested. This is probably one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. The dorms are thoughtfully designed with curtains around the beds, extra space around the beds and a large lock box at the end of each bed. Super clean dorms and shared bathrooms. Lovely breakfast served each morning. And suber friendly and helpful staff. I would definitely rebook this hostel!
