- "As a hostel experience, not much more you can ask for. Comfortable, beds are very private(I stayed in a shared room and it was still very private), inexpensive, really good restaurant, and plenty to do nearby. " - "It is just a little too far off Thamel for me, up a cracked road, you can trip up at night. But if you are looking for somewhere quiet, it is a good place. NB. I booked a private room but they do not clean it daily unless you insist. Also it was in the fourth floor, no lift. I'm getting a bit old for this. The atrium/café design is really very imaginative and the café generally good. "

- "The whole space is fresh and modern. We had a private twin room, which was huge, and the bathroom had the most amazing hot shower with great water pressure! The communal areas are comfortable and clean, and there’s a great outdoor space! The people working here are friendly and proficient. Only downside for us is that they don’t cater for vegans. We unexpectedly had breakfast included in our room rate, which was great, but could only get the fruit and coffee - part of one of the three breakfasts on offer. More labelled, vegan-friendly items would be wonderful!"
