Famous House Kathmandu Youth Hostel Reviews

Famous House Kathmandu Youth Hostel is a great choice for anybody who does not want to blow their budget while making the most of their time in Kathmandu. Located on the doorstep of the Thamel area, it is in walking distance from most of the tourist facilities and it comes with perks such as free breakfast and fast Wi-Fi connection. Moreover, its rooftop terrace can be an ideal place to have a relaxing time.

The Location

Famous House is located in the northern part of Kathmandu, around five minutes' walk from the Ring Road. It is in easy reach of the Thamel area, which is the tourist hub of the city. It is also in walking distance from the bus heading to Besisahar, where many travelers start the popular Annarpurna Circuit trek. Last, but not least, the Swayambhu Stupa and adjacent Three Buddhas Park can also be reached from here after a thirty-minute stroll. However, as it is in a busy residential area, it can get quite noisy and potential guests should calculate with the fact that life in Nepal starts pretty early in the morning!

Rooms and Bathrooms

The hostel has four floors and it has rooms of various sizes on all of them. The smallest dorms have four single beds, while the biggest ones accommodate twelve bunks beds. Each room has spacious lockers for which padlocks are provided. The beds have sockets next to them and there is fast Wi-Fi all over the hostel. There are several bathrooms on each floor, which are simple but offer nice warm water all day long. While the place could have more style and the white and blue colours are somewhat uninspiring, there are nice paintings and photos of the Nepalese mountains all around.

Common Spaces

The reception area is quite spacious and there are some couches to sit on and free water that guests can serve themselves. However, the nicest space of the hostel is without doubt the rooftop terrace, which is where breakfast is served in the morning and where guests can sit and socialise while taking in the views over Kathmandu.

Summary

Famous House Kathmandu is a great choice if you are looking for something simple that serves the purpose. With nice and spacious rooms, excellent Wi-Fi connection, nonstop hot water, and free breakfast, this place is good money for the price.
