Nice hostel with a great location. Staff always helpful and very friendly. Nice rooftop terrace. Food was tasty, but nothing extraordinary. Our private room was clean, but lacking storage space e.g. a small wardrobe or a sideboard.

Great restaurant and common area on the rooftop, super friendly staff. Dorms are great not perfect, bathroom not perfect also but the hot shower is super nice. Location of the hostel is very good. This is the kind of place I could just spend days easily as a slow-pace traveller

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Not much atmosphere to meet people (but this is variable in all hostels)

I stayed there for 4 nights and had a great stay. The common area is nice, breakfasts are really good even though it takes ages to get the food. The staff is extremely nice ! I would definitely stay there again

Beste hostel van Kathmandu. Ik kwam hier 3x terug tijdens men reis. Heel gemakkelijk om mensen te leren kennen. Zalig om te ontspannen op het dakterras en heel lekker eten. Iedereen die er werkt was super vriendelijk en behulpzaam en daarbovenop was het eten hier super! Ik kom volgende keer zeker terug naar Restup!

I loved this hostel, the staff is friendly, there to help you if you have any questions. The rooftop is a real plus!! The view of Kathmandu and the monkey temple in the distance is incredible! Very pleasant for a break at the end of the day or to meet other travelers! The rooms and beds are clean and comfortable, the shower is shared for the dorm but it goes well. I recommend it is well located, I was able to walk alone as a woman in the surrounding streets without fear

Good hostel, lovely vibes upstairs and help sort our trip to poonhill. Second time I stayed I slept in the mixed 4 person dorm upstairs. This room is left unlocked, with nowhere to put your belongs and opens out into the social area. Someone literally came in and stole my towel?? Wouldn’t recommend staying in that room. Also nowhere to store personal belongs safely. On the pricer side too.

I have been staying at the same hostel for the past few trips to Kathmandu. I have tried many so far, but this one is the best one I’ve found. From the staff always friendly and very knowledgeable, dorms and private rooms cleaned daily, 24hr security, amazing food and a great rooftop to relax after the busy day! Honestly 10/10, will be back again, thank you Prakash and team

I really enjoyed my stay at Rest Up! Prakash was so welcoming and helpful, and gave me loads of useful information even before I arrived in Nepal. The location is great for exploring Thamel and all of the staff are super friendly- would definitely recommend :)

Epic hostel from location, super helpful staff and the best bit is the rooftop with 360 views and good food. I met lots of people hanging out there. Wish I could have stayed longer!

I used the hostel both during my stay in Kathmandu and for booking a Manaslu circuit hike. Very friendly staff, who where always helpfull with information. Good food when you don't have the energy to go find food outside of the hostel. Had a great time in Nepal thanks to Rest Up Kathmandu. Areas of improvement: Since the rooms have no locks in would be nice to have some lockers in the rooms. The 4 bunk dorm next to the commmon area, could use some curtains at the end of the beds.

We had an incredible stay at Rest Up. The staff were extremely accommodating, friendly, and endlessly helpful with regard to trekking plans and general things to do and see in Kathmandu. Couldn’t recommend enough! Hostel is very clean, secure and the kitchen/cafe/bar is lovely. The views from the rooftop are stunning:) thanks again!
