"I had a great stay at [Bag Packers]. The staff were friendly and attentive, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect for exploring the area.

Allround perfect place for travellers. The restaurant is good and on the cheaper side. And you can even store some luggage there for free if you go trekking or so.

Loved staying here, perfect location on a busy street with lots of shops, restaurants, cafes and bars nearby. Clean room and shared bathroom. Lovely management and staff. We are in the restaurant on the rooftop a couple of times and the food was great also. Highly recommend overall!

Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean and spacious. Wifi was good. The hostel is in Thamel where thee ed majority of tourists are accommodated. Would definitely recommend for those travelling on a budget as it is great value for money.

I was there in the burning season which meant that at times it was quite difficult to sit outside due to the smoke and meant the pool was totally out of action.

Excellent quality rooms with roomy balcony.

The place is absolutely amazing. Right in the heart of the Thamel. We had a very nice room, looking right at the main street, bars and shops. It has a rooftop restaurant. The laundry facility is perfect, very satisfied, very good price. There is non stop reception, safe place. Very clean. Take into consideration that Thamel is a noisy district of Kathmandu, but the Lodge even provides ear plugs.

The area has a lot of bars and loud singing at night.no fault of the lodge.

The reviews we checked before booking are all true. The rooms on the front may get noisy but the staff is kind enough to offer you with ear plugs in advance or you can simply ask it at the reception.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hostel! The family that runs it is incredibly kind, supportive, and always ready to help with a warm smile. From booking tickets and renting a car/taxi to planning trips, they go above and beyond to assist their guests—not just as a service but out of genuine care and responsibility. The location is perfect—right in the heart of Thamel, Kathmandu—making everything easily accessible within walking distance. The value for the price is unbeatable, offering comfort, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it for couples and groups of friends looking for a cozy and hassle-free experience in Kathmandu.

Rooms are comfortable and location is great being central in Thamel

Very loud traffic (centric with very thin windows), there is a curfew - door gets closed at night so it is awkward coming back late as a stall member has to wake up to let you in

Lovely staff, good rooftop bar, a/c but only in some rooms, good location

Highly recommend staying at Bag Packer’s Lodge if visiting Kathmandu. The staff are unbelievably kind, communicative and generous with information regarding Kathmandu/transport/hiking, etc. The whole building is kept in immaculate condition. We booked a room with a shared bathroom and it was always clean! The breakfast is modest and yummy. The upstairs restaurant is also fantastic. Perfect location. We’ve stayed in a couple of places in Kathmandu between hikes and will now always come back here! Thank you for having us.
