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. Kwabahal Boutique Hostel was my preferred accomodation in Kathmandu. Simply because the location was perfect. It is tucked-in in an alley and it has a nice garden/cafe to relax in. The street sound is muted so one can enjoy the serenity of the place. Secondly, all the staff display such heartwarming hospitality with endless smiles. A huge plus for me was also the clean and spotless showers and toilets, the cleanest by far during my visit in Nepal.

Set in Kathmandu, 1.1 km from Hanuman Dhoka, Nepalaya Home Hostel offers accommodation with a shared lounge, free private parking, a terrace and a bar. 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. I stayed in a bunch of hotels and airbnb in Nepal before (mostly Kathmandu) and Napalaya beats all of them head down. The room was squeaky clean and fresh, furniture looked new, functional set up, bathroom absolutely lovely( trust me on that on the strength of my Nepalese experience). Staff friendly, and professional. Had my own balcony on to of that! View wasn’t exactly Pokhara lake but it was quiet as not facing the street— massive bonus!

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. Excellent place to stay - really great location. The double private room was very spacious and the staff were very welcoming. We weren't able to pay by credit card on their system but they sent the link and that worked well. Would recommend. Note that the hotel asked for a review but I would have given them this rating anyway
