The location is fantastic, right in the潭美區 (Tanmei District), making shopping and dining incredibly convenient. The facilities are decent, especially the bedding, which was very clean. The bedside charging port and individual lighting were great, and both the pillows and duvet were comfortable. The service at the front desk on the second floor was very friendly; they even proactively offered travel information. While they did introduce some short-term tour packages, they weren't pushy at all. The only real inconvenience was not being allowed to do laundry on-site.
Sara's Backpackers Hotel is really all right. The location is practical, you come quickly to important places like the Pashupatinath Temple or Garden of Dreams. The rooms are clean, but something simple furnished. Wi-Fi GIFTS free, but sometimes a little slow.
The staff is super friendly and helps in everything whether to travel or ask about the surroundings. Breakfast is also OK, but not Mega especially – keep country type. Rooftop terrace is really a highlight, beautiful view to relax.
Also gives bikes to borrow what is cool. a few things could be better, for example the beds are a little hard and shower could be more modern. overall, but good price-performance ratio.
Would come back if I'm in the area! ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Extremely clean hostel. The bed was comfortable, with a power outlet, a lamp, and a privacy curtain. The shower area was spotless with new fixtures and excellent water pressure. They even had toilet paper, which is a rare find in Kathmandu hostels! Great location and fast internet. Perfect for a couple of days.
The price of the shared room seems reasonable considering the quality and location—close to the heart of Thamel. However, the room is a bit small, and during hot seasons, dealing with the heat without AC can be a challenge. I’d like to highlight the excellent reception service, especially from Mónica, who was very attentive and always willing to chat or help with anything. I’m truly grateful for the staff’s hospitality.

They are very welcoming, and the reception staff was awesome. They accept international visa card. Every floor have a nice balcony for gossiping, eating coffee and smoking. With this budget, best hotel.
My room was 404.
Problems:
1. The telephone was not dead.
2. Curtains are very thin so in the morning you can't sleep in the sunlight.
3. The doors and windows are very old, that's why if someone is talking outside of the room you will hear everything and maybe they also hear you.
4. They just provide tissue and soap, they didn’t provide toothbrush, toothpaste, or shampoo. So if you booked this hotel keep this with you.
5. The hotel doesn't have an elevator, so if you don't like the stairs, is it not for you and you can talk to the hotel before booking for the 2nd floors room.
The bed is very small and the room is very crowded. The photos on the website look big and bright, but it is not. The curtains on my bed are torn and the shielding is not very good, but there is a beautiful restaurant on the top floor, which is my favorite!
Not in the downtown area, can't see the lake, but there is a distant mountain scenery
The service is very intimate, even if there is no elevator, it will help you take your luggage up, remember to give a little tip 😊
