Perfect when you are looking for a clean and cheap place when travelling in Nepal. Located in a heart od Kathmandu gives you a tons of opportunities to just leave the hostel and walk around. They do have cheap laundry service, which I have not used. Also, rooftop bar is available! All in all recommended!

If I am privileged to return, I would stay here again! Kind and helpful staff, comfortable and clean beds, gear storage, and reliable wifi are a few of the reasons that I'd recommend this place for travelers needing a home base in Kathmandu. Thamel nightlife can be loud (no matter where you stay) so consider calling ahead to see if they can offer you a room on the side of the building away from the street. I've had both sides, and even on the street it quiets down after 10:30p - so, either way you'll have a nice stay!

I stayed at Bag Packers for 4 nights after returning from a trek. I found the location to be really convenient and pretty quiet for Thamel.The rooms are a nice size, the water hot and the breakfast tasty and served on the nice relaxing rooftop.The staff, especially Krishna, are really friendly and helpful and I won't hesitate to stay there again.
