Another 10/10 review for Kwabahal. The hostel (I stayed in a single room with a bathroom) is located down an alley in its own atrium like spot with a lovely garden. It's 100 feet from the streets of Thamel but it's an oasis refuge from that bustle. Excellent, honest, and pleasant staff and management. A key feature of this stay is the restaurant. There are four different eating areas inside and out scattered around the courtyard. The food is excellent across every dish (I particularly enjoyed their version of a Thai curry and their different western style breakfast offerings) and the wait staff is fabulously friendly and polite. I was impressed by everyone, but particularly by Roshika, Divya, and Sneha.

Best Boutique Hostel in Thamel

Exceptional and amazing place for so many reasons! Food was delicious; rooms were clean, comfortable, and well equipped; location is great! The chilling area is in a beautiful garden with beautiful lighting and tables - very unique to have this area. And more than anything, a fantastic staff! They were extremely helpful, kind, and supportive; they went above and beyond! Shoutout to Pramod, Gobi, .Gopi a key person and well knowledge and he help you arrange the Annapurna or Everest Base Camp Hike, finding places, giving you valuable information, and more! I am truly grateful for them! Highly recommended!
