Bag Packer's Lodge

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.

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.

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.

The owner went above and beyond and the staff are very friendly.
