I had an amazing stay at Sara's Backpacker Hostel in Kathmandu. This family-owned gem near Thamel made me feel completely at home. The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming, treating guests like family from the moment they arrive. Itâs also very budget-friendly, which is perfect for travelers looking for quality on a budget. One of the highlights is their airport pickup service, making arrival in Kathmandu stress-free. They prepare food just like they would for their own familyâclean, healthy, and full of flavor. The beautiful terrace is a fantastic spot to relax, unwind, and soak in the city views. The rooms are spotless, with a fresh scent that makes staying there a joy. Plus, there's complete flexibility for guests to come and go any time of day or night, which is so convenient for exploring the city. Saharsh, the little boy, is always eager to play and adds a charming, homey touch to the hostel. All in all, I give Sara's Backpacker Hostel a well-deserved 10/10. For anyone looking for a warm, comfortable, and affordable place to stay in Kathmandu, I couldnât recommend it more!

Sara and her husband have been the most amazing hosts! I am a trauma (abuse) survivor and have been travelling Nepal to refind myself. I have recently come into some money problems- temporary/last minute (I missed my flight to Egypt and had just enough for one more week in Nepal!), and Sara was very happy to accommodate me, give me time to regather funds for onward travel. She and her husband have fed me well! Trusted me. And let me stay like a family member. The hostel itself can be a bit chaotic- they are a very generous and pleasing couple. + There's lots and lots of rooms. But as someone who was in the Refuge system (for women) in the UK, I can say I felt very safe around Sara's (and her husband's) energy. They possibly do too much.
I don't think they sleep at all?! They are parents, managers, and friendly people all in-one. But I guess they do a lot of business. :)

I like that it was maintained by family from which i got safe atmosphere. Staff was helping and kind. I booker the cheapest option, single bed in dormitory which actually for this price was really good, clean, free wifi, drinking water. The mattress was hard which personally i like (reminds me of sleeping on the ground and better for health) so it wasnât disadvantage.
I was dissatisfied with location as most of my stay in Kathmandu I was spending at Boudhanath. And it takes one to two buses to go there or 1,5h by walk. But all kinds of shops and restaurants are nearby.

I spent more than 2 weeks in this accommodation, you have to know that I have been travelling for over 6 months and for the first time on my trip I really felt at home. Sara and Sudan gave me a feeling that you can only feel comfortable and everyone who has visited the hotel can definitely say that. The rooms are great and are fairly priced, the food from Sudan, who was also a chef in America for 5 years, tastes simply fantastic and is also super healthy. You can't get the food in any restaurant, the prices are really not expensive. I would choose this hotel again and again for my stay in Kathmandu. no matter how or when the family and the Staff are always helpful and friendly and always had a smile on their faces. I would like to thank you again, I appreciate it đđź

This place was amazing. The fact itâs not in the city centers gives a much more authentic experience when coming to Kathmandu, you will meet many locals at the hostels and outside. There are loads of nice places very close to eat delicious local food and going to town is very easy and cheap with local bike app. I am so happy I found this place. Furthermore I was very nicely welcomed by Susbinar and Sara, a lovely family running this guesthouse in a very authentic way, far from the tourist traps we find when we travel. It was a great experience very cheap very spacious rooms, even the dorms are packed with people; food is lovely too I actually came back here on my way back to Kathmandu . Thanks for everything

Sara plays a crucial role in meeting all the customer needs and ensuring their comfort. From check-in to meal service, and from providing comfort to engaging in long conversations, she knows how to make guests feel at ease, especially when they are new to her hotel. The hotel itself is situated in a fantastic location and offers all the necessary amenities. I highly recommend staying at this hotel.

This Hotel is a perfect choice in Karhmandu! Sara and Sudan are wonderful persons, I got involved in a very heartwarming and familiarly way. I had great access to the best sightseeing locations, a trekking up to the Himalaya included. The hotel is super clean and cheap, with different Roma you can choose, from dormitory to a big, high standard rooms with integrated bath. When I will come back, this place will definitely my place to stay again!!! Thank you for everything!!đ
