Sara's Backpapers Hostel Reviews

Sara's Backpacker Hostel is a family-run hostel in the far northern end of Kathmandu. It provides a cosy atmosphere in a quiet residential part of the city. With travelers being slightly older than the general backpacker's crowd, it is a nice place for exchanging travelers' wisdom with those who have been all around the world and it is also a popular spot for digital nomads. The place is clean and comfortable with fast Wi-Fi and the option to cook for yourself.

The Location

Sara's Backpacker Hostel is located in the north of Kathmandu, about twenty minutes' walk from the Ring Road. It is not the most convenient location in the city if you are here for the touristy sights and activities and it is exactly the opposite end of the city from the airport. However, it can be a good choice if you are waking up early to get the bus to Besisahar to start the Annapurna Circuit, as it is only a short stroll away from where the bus stops. Moreover, as it is in a quiet residential area, you are definitely guaranteed a good night's sleep.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The rooms offer single beds, which are quite big even if the mattresses are very hard. Inside, there is a cupboard where guests can hang their clothes and a table with a chair. However, these are not enough to serve all the people staying in the dorms and it is also quite inconvenient that as the only plugs are on the table, everybody's electronics are piling on top of each other. Bedside tables are lockers are also missing.

Common Spaces

There is a kitchen where guests are welcome to prepare their own meals. However, upon request, the owner provides dinner and breakfast at an additional charge. There is also a terrace area with three seats, but this space cannot accommodate too many people at the same time.

Summary

Sara's Backpacker Hostel is ideal for those who are looking for a cheap stay in a cosy and familiar environment. It provides guests with everything you might expect of a budget hostel, and some extras can be purchased at a reasonable price. However, it is not the most ideal location in which to base yourself for your entire stay in Kathmandu, as it is quite far from everything and local public transportation is slow and unreliable.
