This place has potential but we were extremely disappointed. We booked a basic double room with a shared bathroom (3rd floor, king room). There was a sink in the room as it used to be a kitchen. The sink was backed up and stank of urine and sewage, we moved the bed, opened the windows and slept the wrong way round, but still couldn't avoid the stench. The manager's only solution was to spray the room with an air freshener, and then didn't actually come and spray it. The windows had no curtains so couldn't sleep well past 6am. There was no hot water on the 3rd floor, he told us we had to go to the 2nd floor. We may have just timed it badly but there wasn't any hot water there either. They wouldn't move us without charging us more, I can't believe people stay in this room and don't have any complaints! He still demanded the same price. The rooftop terrace is OK, needs some more floor seating areas as there were only benches out and a couple of hammocks. So always full. Beer in Nepal is generally more expensive than India so can't complain about that. I hate to complain so much about this place but it was disgusting. Maybe the dorms are better but we heard there are no lockers so poor security. We have now moved down the road to a place called family peace house and are so much happier. Same price for a double room shared bathroom, so much cleaner! I don't understand how monkey temple hostel is rated so highly. We've stayed in much better dorms for the same price.

Okay hostel, but we had a bad experience here. We booked two nights, but the staff gave away our room after one night and told us we had to leave and find a new hostel at 4pm on Nepalese New Years Eve. They also tried to overcharge us by putting us in a more expensive room than booked. The water also stopped running, and when it did work there is only one functioning shower for a BIG hostel. Cool common area. Expensive drinks for a hostel. Overall after our experience, I do not recommend.

A really good place to stay at Kathmandu. T is very nearby tourist bus sand and even the main tourist spots are quite near from this place. Hostel is comparatively new so the construction is still under progress, however, the theme s really nice. When I went there, I was told that the hot water is not available in certain rooms, but it turns out later that the geysers were not even installed yet and there was no hot water across the hostel.

Best hostel in Kathmandu. Close to Thamel and all the bars and shops. Staff is amazing. They have all sizes of dorm rooms and private rooms. There is an awesome rooftop hang out area. Great place to meet people. I definitely recommend staying!

I have stayed at this hostel 3 different times now and stayed for more than a week overall. I would highly recommend this hostel for people looking for a calm place to relax with a very friendly staff. Do not take the negative reviews too seriously. I mean, if there's hot shower only on the second floor, what is the problem. You can go down a floor for a hot shower, can't you !! It's a hostel with very reasonable charges for the mixed dormitory. They don't have lockers but I did not have any problem with that. I love their rooftop seating area which has recently got a makeover. I have attached the photo as well. Visit this place to relax, chill and make awesome friends. I would rate it 4.5 :)

If you are on a limited budget or don't feel like spending so much on accommodation then this is the place to be. The interiors are very basic but the wall graffitis will give the guests a contemporary boutique experience. The roof top bar is the place to hangout and from which the view of the monkey temple is pretty good. Room service may not be the best available but the staffs are very approachable.

As you step on this place you feel already you become a member of happiness club! Everything is talk about simplicity & friendship combine with cleans dormitory & private rooms . Whomever once visited here they always back. Add an amazing rooftop with a restaurant & bar , I can say this place is one of the best place for chilling and finding good friends.

A cheap hostel with young atmosphere which is hard to find in Kathmandu. We stayed in the private room with attached bathroom. Many stairs. We entered a dirty room with dirty toilet and unclean sheets. There were no hot water in the shower in the room. We told the staff about the room and they cleaned it up immediately, so this is why it got an "ok" rank.
