    Nothing in particular.

    Super clean place right in the middle of thamel. Lots of eateries nearby and did I mention they have airconditioned dorms.

    Good price for the location and facilities. They’re very reliable and provide trekking tours that we ended up enjoying so much. The room was smaller than what it looks like in the picture but very clean and has basic things you need. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here and we thank the staff for helping us book the things we need for our trip in Nepal :)

    Nothing

    Probably the best place we stayed during our whole time in Nepal. - very clean room, bedding looked obviously fresh and clean, bathroom was also clean - good facilities provided such as AC which also worked as a heater, plugs right by the bed, TV, really good wifi - location of hotel is right in the mix of thamel - staff were friendly and really nice people - hot water was available 24/7 this was a personal highlight after struggling with mostly cold showers throughout Nepal to be able to get hot water at all times was just brilliant

    Not that I didn’t like the terrace but I think it could be used to boost the experience more.

    Free coffee and tea, best night sleep in Nepal, very friendly staff. In particular Santosh who was an absolute gentleman.

    Had a great stay at Flying Yak last night. The location was amazing and my room was comfortable, clean and spacious. Bikas and Ravindra were kind and generous staff who were extremely supportive - they were also very friendly and gave great information about where to go in Kathmandu. Thanks for the great stay !

    Comfortable stay in Thamel
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 6-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    - There is only 1 shower between the 2 dorms (12 people) which if full i could see as a problem however we had no issues - Shower is large as it used to be 2 however the shower head that is currently there is quite poor, i ended up having to use the spout tap to rinse my hair as the pressure was not strong enough. - There is a small seating areas outside of dorms which is great unfortunately however it is a designated smoking area which brings the smell into the dorm rooms, not ideal for us non smokers- would recommend limiting smoking to the roof top.

    Located in a very convenient location, making it very easy to walk around Thamel. We stayed in the dorm and it was clean, had curtains which was a bonus and unexpected, linen was clean/comfortable and had lockers. The staff are super warm and friendly and always there to help you if you need. Communication was efficient and fast if needed via whatsapp. Luggage storage is available as well as 24/7 tea and coffee in the foyer. Would recommend for a stay in Thamel- however if your are looking for a more social hostel this may not be what you are looking for.
