Had to go down stairs, then up an outdoor narrow stair , walk over a rooftop a little then down another narrow spiral stair… which was inconvenient going in and out. No AC but fan worked well as weather was cool anyway. Found an open bottle of water in room You do have access to thamel but the more crowdy alley part. The guy helping at the travel desk was very helpful in giving honest advice. No social aspect as everything is so spread out. It’s ok overall if you get a good price

There is a nice area to hang out and a good restaurant. However, the hostel itself feels a bit outdated. Everything inside is quite old and the beds are squeaky. The 6-bed dorm is extremely small.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Wanderthirst Hostel in Kaldhara, Thamel, Kathmandu. From the moment I arrived, the staff welcomed me with warm smiles and genuine hospitality. They were always helpful, friendly, and ready to assist with anything I needed. The location is perfect — close to the heart of Thamel but still peaceful enough for a good night’s sleep. Everything like restaurants, shops, and tourist attractions is within walking distance.

one of the best hostel in town , If you are in the Thamel area of Kathmandu and seeking a vibrant, clean, and community-rich hostel, be sure to check out Wanderthirst. The hostel has some of the most impressive communal areas I’ve seen in the area, and it promotes a comfortable environment for travelers and nomads alike. I am very grateful to the front desk team for their helpfulness and attentiveness, and will be sure to stay here again when I return to Nepal. The coffee and bar area is well-...

Loved my stay at Wanderthirst Hostel. The staff were friendly and helpful, the hostel was very clean, and the beds were comfortable. Nice social atmosphere without being noisy, and the location is super convenient for exploring nearby attractions. Perfect spot for solo travelers and backpackers. Would happily stay here again and highly recommend it.

The accommodation was good, the staff are helpful and cater to many requests. It's great for trekking, you can easily leave some of your things there and get valuable tips and a guide if needed.The people were also very helpful when we continued our journey.The only thing that was a bit annoying was that there is no self-service kitchen, only a bar/restaurant (but the food there is good and inexpensive, and the people are nice). And that you can't wash your own laundry, you have to hand it in.

Room was tiny and outdated. No room to put luggage anywhere. Most showers and bathrooms were not in a closed structure and it was 6C outside sometimes. I can't take a shower when it's 6 C. Bathroom and shower not in good condition and in need of upgrades. Staff refused to give me a towel because i was "just in a dorm". Rooftop is gone, its full with beds. can't socialize anywhere. I left after 1 night.
