Reviews of Nextdoor Patan

The staff was amazing. When I checked in, it was like meeting a friend of a friend, and by the end of the stay, it felt like the staff were my helpful friends.

Not much. It exceeded all my expectations. The benefit of the location, the staff, and the overall environment of the Hostel.

Booked for one night and extended twice turned into a week! Friendly staffs and a thoughtful vision for connecting with local communities by bringing together travelers from around the world to experience Nepal through a local lens. The space fosters diversity, open conversations, and a true sense of connection through localized events and activities. I really enjoyed the complimentary breakfast, varied, nourishing, and prepared with care. The walking tour took us beyond the usual attractions and into the heart of the valley. It’s so much more than just a place to sleep, thank you team!

Fantastic hostel! The best one I have stayed at during my 3-month trip. Staff are incredibly friendly and funny. I left some things in my room and they immediately contacted me about it. Conveniently located if you want to explore Patan, for example on one of their many free walking tours. The street is very quiet at night. The restaurant next door serves super tasty authentic dishes from different regions of Nepal and a different free breakfast each day.

There are not really any interesting shops, cafés or bars nearby.

Amaaaazing staff, just the loveliest people! Also lots of opportunities to get to know the neighborhood/participate in social activities. There’s just such a relax and chill atmosphere, good vibes only🥹🫶

No such thing

I have to say everything is perfect. It's away from bustling area, but no more than 20mins to get to the center. Everyone is lovely and helpful, including all the staffs and guests. Can't imagine a more cozy hostel than this.

Nothing

Can be social and easy to meet new people. Common area well spread out. Cute and artsy touch throughout the place. The cat!

The breakfast, yes, the BREAKFAST (my fav time of day) completely ruined my day. I’m still processing how I was made to feel. I’m writing this because we all deserve to be seen and heard. While there are many great reviews here, this was my experience, and it matters too. Sadly, I had a really upsetting moment around breakfast which, for me, is more than just a meal. It’s nurturing, grounding, and something I won’t skip. I genuinely look forward to in between work, especially as a solo traveller working remotely from 6am until the afternoon. I have a fixed schedule, and I need to get my breakfast sorted within a 20min ish morning break. If I miss that window, I’ll suffer from hunger for hours. That’s why I always go for places with breakfast included. And in the five weeks I’ve been in Nepal, I’ve never had an issue, in fact, it’s usually the opposite. That people often try to feed me more or ask if I need anything else because they see I’m working. I asked clearly whether the standard breakfast was vegetarian or if not, what part of it wasn’t , so we could work something out. but no one gave me a clear answer. They just said, You can have muesli or pancake. I really wanted the standard breakfast and honestly, I don’t even like muesli so i asked multiple times if i can have standard breakfast like as in vegetarian. And again i heard i can have muesli, and I didn’t want to be the pain, so I said okay. And of course it is okay too until they got me a tiny glass of muesli and a little fruit -maybe three spoonfuls. It felt like a joke. On the top of this, everyone else was getting full plates with toast, eggs, and the exact same muesli I had. I was still hungry af and still had hours of work ahead and needed proper fuel to get through the morning. My work can be intense sometimes I won’t find a minute to catch a breath for hours. I wouldn’t even feel this mistreated if they made a lil effort to give me a bigger serving of muesli.

Loved the dorms, probably the nicest I’ve seen in any hostel. The staff were so nice, even despite leaving early they didn’t charge a hefty cancellation fee (1 day fee only).

It was a very open air property, not sure how else to describe it. So you would be breathing in the outside air a lot (which was very polluted when I was there) and also there was some religious thing going on next door because someone died (which of course isn’t their fault) but because of that there was some religious chanting through a microphone from approx 7am till 9pm everyday. It was very loud when I was trying to work or take calls.

The breakfast is so good. I want recipes.

It’s clean, well located, the common spaces are facilitate socialization, the rooms and bathrooms are impeccable, the bunkbeds are well thought out; lots of storage with personal light, the mattress in comfortable, the staff is super friendly, the breakfast in generous and cooked on the spot.

I cannot think of anything!

One of the best place you can be in Kathmandu. They are humble, social. It feels like a home and made a lot of friends i’ll be coming back here again.😍

One word : EXCEPTIONNEL! For the staff, location, guests, breakfast and the comfort of the dorm !

I booked Nextdoor Patan after reading wonderful reviews on Booking.com, and I must say, it lived up to my expectations! The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable, providing a peaceful retreat in a quiet location. One of the highlights of my stay was the lovely outdoor space, where I enjoyed breakfast under the warm morning sun—a perfect way to start the day. The breakfast itself was delightful, and the staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive. As my event ran late into the night, the hotel provided me with a main door pin, allowing me to return at my convenience without any hassle. Being a non-smoker, I truly appreciated the smoke-free and odor-free environment, which made my stay even more pleasant. Overall, I had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Nextdoor Patan to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-managed place to stay!

Great place! Beautiful people! sweet, kind people that are great at what they do and make you feel home from the start. For all of us staying here, it feels like a great base camp while passing by kathmandu! Thank you for all you do!

I really loved this hostel in the heart of Patan. Spacious rooms, really confortable beds and really clean everywhere. There is a beautiful garden and they always organize interesting activities such as sightseeing with locals.

Excellent place to stay - really great location. The double private room was very spacious and the staff were very welcoming. We weren't able to pay by credit card on their system but they sent the link and that worked well. Would recommend. Note that the hotel asked for a review but I would have given them this rating anyway

The hostel was very clean, and cleaners did really good work every day to maintain the cleanliness. Location was good, but on a quiet road, not much noise outside.. Kathmandu's air pollution is catastrofic, nothing can help that, so the air was overall polluted. Staff was really nice. I stayed in a female dorm, a spacious cubicle with curtains, a big locker and a good mattress.

Restaurant wasn't nothing special. All vegetarian dishes was served without much vegetables, no nutrition values thought at all. Dishes have fancy names, and the Nepali districts were mentioned as origins, but it doesn't help, if the dishes don't keep your hunger at bay.

Everything was perfect! The room and the bathroom were always clean. Chill vibe and good location.

The BEST hostel experience I've had! - Good price 💸 - Hot/cold Water free Refill 💧 - Good breakfast 🍳 - Friendly and fun staff 👨‍💼👩‍💼 - Great building, rooms and beds Don't miss out on a fun time meeting wonderful people. They really have put a lot of effort and thought into making it a special experience that shows the possibilities of what fun hostels can be I ended up cooking for the whole hostel when asked to cook my favourite dishes with help, they bought all the ingredients Everyone that visits seems relaxed and always up for chatting, or plan group hikes.
