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. Kathmandu is not an easy city with a maze of noisy and crowded street. Next-door hotel is located within a quiet neighbourhood and acts like an oasis in the desert.This positive impression is reinforced thanks to the services offered by Tisa and his staff always smiling and helpful. I will definitely return there
