Roambay

The hostel is perfect for backpackers, located in center of city and easy access to all amenities. I can sincerely say this is one of the best hostels I've stayed at in recent years. Prerna was so welcoming, informative, and friendly. Got to make loads of memories with new friends. Budget friendly, also you get to taste delicious food prepared by chef.

This hostel is located in a beitiful house with garden. It is centrally located, not far from the palace. It is a bit far from the yoga studios though. The hostel is very clean and has more showers and bathrooms then most other hostels. The beds are comfortable and the dorms are divided in 2 spaces. One downstairs and one upstairs. That looks very nice. The staff is friendly and very helpful.

Regular Indian neighborhood with Reliance supermarket 2 blocks away. The hostel is rather palacial in it's own way obviously having been converted from a home. Very nice entrance , plants , and space out front to sit in the sun . Nice roomy interiors and AC dorms here. Next door is "Explorest" hostel. Don't even bother with this sub-standard , tight , cramped and throw in the un-friendly management. Roambay hostel has great potential but I'm 2 weeks in with a month total and here's goes some flaws common to many hostels worldwide. The Nepalese couple doing the ground work , cleaning ect don't speak english and in the evening or early morning can't do much except have you wait until Premla the manager arrives around 10 am ish . She's very good and efficient. But already you realize this is no way to run an international quality hostel. You simply must have english speaking staff available 24 hrs a day , otherwise it's painfully obvious you like the money a hostel generates but are cutting corners and paying country folks a pittance to greet guests who, don't speak Nepali. Apparently there are 3 wifi connections available but once you have more than a few guests , bandwidth hasn't been upgraded and you aren't going to connect much. Buy Airtel data and spare yourself the hassle. Kitchen is without decent silverware . No hot water in early morning for AM. departures . Just not acceptable. Maybe one day in a future reality they'll wake up and get it together.. It's actually a beautiful place .
