    Some of the younger reception staff weren't as welcoming or helpful as I had hoped.

    Really nice atmosphere and layout, with plenty of communal areas to meet people or do your own thing. Took the twin room/single room which were both very comfortable! Location is great as it is close to many things, yet not the main street.

    While booking it online it didn't specify that the towels will not be provided for dormant nor it allow to select single room.

    Overall the experience was good just due to kitchen renovation it was bit difficult for food as they don't allow outside food. if only you want to explore whole day and want to sleep this is best option for dormant.

    There is nothing to complain about them

    After Travelling to Lukla & coming back to wanderthirst to continue my stay in Kathmandu because I am happy with the Hotels, they have everything within the reach what ever you ask for. I kept my luggage in their locker room which is nice for the traveler like me to visit nearby places & to go back after 2-3 days. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends

    Nothing to complain about, everything is available within property

    The staff is very helpful. Whatever I ask everything is available with them. I booked a 6 bed drom, the beds are comfortable, the room is clean, & most importantly the washroom is clean too. Also they have a particular team for all the information with regards to trekking around Nepal, it's easy to find the trekking group with them, I also like the luggage room facility also, so I went to different places around without carring all my baggage. Also the restaurant & bar have good options with the food.

    Wander Thirst makes me feel at home. I have returned a second time after staying here six months ago because it has such good energy. I’ve stayed in almost all their accomodation: the dorms are clean, have personal powerpoints and privacy curtains, and also lockers for valuables in the room (but not big enough to fit your whole backpack). The private rooms with shared bathroom are great value and comfy, and the private room with ensuite had one of the biggest and best beds ever. The tents were great also! They are lockable, and have great beds too. However you couldn’t hang out in them during the day (in April) as it was way too hot. The common area is a great place to sit in all day, lounging in the hammocks or on the floor seating. When I’ve stayed outside of Thamel but came in for errands, I would stop by Wander Thirst to sit in the common area, work on my laptop, and order a beer from the bar. There are plugs on the outdoor tables and the wifi works great. It’s also a great place to meet other travellers! Can’t wait to come back :)

    This was a really lovely hostel. It’s super sociable and has loads of chill space and the staff are really friendly. The only reason I haven’t given a full 10 stars is because our bathroom in our en suite is in the direct view of a bedroom window opposite. It meant while I showered it was a bit uncomfortable stressing about others seeing me in there. This is the only improvement this hostel needs, some bathroom curtains.

    Nice place to stay! The outside relaxing space is really nice and if you’re into meeting new people, you can just ask and join, but if you like to travel more solo, you can also just chill there by yourself. The rooms are also really clean (they clean them every day), there are enough showers and restrooms and it is really nice how you meet new people in the room!

    The hostel was the best choice for a female solo traveler. I had a very nice private room and enjoyed my evenings working at the beautiful garden! The stuff was perfect, very kind and smiling! It was very calm and quiet even if it is located in a very crowded area of Kathmandu! The food was very tasty! You have the chance to meet a lot of people from around the globe! I totally recommend it and for sure I would stay again!

    the showers are not very clean but probably because of the amount of people + trekking shoes
