The bedroom i had was satisfactory but the hostel is not as clean as implied in the reviews. Khem the manager, was very keen for me to write my review in his presence and i just don't like the way i felt under pressure. It didn't have a genuine feel about it as other hostels have and i didn't feel... More

An excellent place to stay in Kathmandu! The owner is an amazing guy - he speaks great English, is very helpful with organizing any part of your trip and he even came to meet us at the airport on our second time staying there. The beautiful garden outside provides an escape from the busy Kathmandu streets and is a great... More

This is a great place to base yourself around trekking and safari trips. It has a lovely garden and several balconies which are as close to a relaxing retreat as you will find so close to Thamel (though don't expect total peace and quiet, nothing can block out those horns). The staff are very helpful and friendly, and even cooked... More

In crazy, dusty, magical Kathmandu, this was a haven, as soon as the gates were closed you arrive to a lovely garden dinning area.

Two mates and i stayed at Elbrus in February 2012 for three days and two nights before we continued on our trip throughout Nepal and India.

A great guest house in a good location. What makes this place special is the brother owners Khem and Ali and also the great value when you consider the perfect breakfast that you get. We were collected from the airport by Ali (which was cheaper than a taxi) and made to feel at home immediately. We met Khem when we... More

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. The owner Khem is an absolute diamond, he is so friendly and welcoming he really can't do enough for you, all the staff are really kind. The hostel has a lovely little relaxing garden where you get served a delicious breakfast at what ever time you roll out of bed, you... More
