Leímos comentarios de otros huéspedes y nos lanzamos a reservar 2 noches en el Hostel de Ajeet. Fue una decisión acertada sin duda pues nos quedamos 6 noches finalmente. La relación calidad-precio es buenísima. El edificio es limpio y construido hace un par de años. La cama gigante y tiene ducha de agua caliente. Estar allí es también compartir con su familia, pues regentan el local de una manera muy cercana. Está a 200 metros del templo de los monos y del museo nacional. Os ayudarán en todo lo que necesitéis. Un fuerte abrazo a Ajeet y su familia

位置靠近猴廟，環境非常好，房間也乾淨整潔。老闆非常熱心，我們晚上回來比較晚，還一直給我們留門。每天的早餐也非常豐盛。總之還是很推薦這裏。

這家旅店讓我延長了許多天在加德滿都的旅途，是一個意外的驚喜。旅店遠離了市中心的混亂吵鬧，靠近猴廟的山上，非常安靜，我每天都睡得很好。重要的是，房間的陽台能俯瞰整個加德滿都，我非常享受每天晚上回來後坐在天台或者陽台放空的時間。用indrive或者老闆幫忙打車去市區非常方便，而且我在旅店周邊散步發現了幾個非常安靜美麗的寺廟。老闆有非常好的品味，旅店非常乾淨，有很多花了心思的小細節。他人超級好，幾乎給予了所有我需要的幫助。捨不得離開，我會因為這家旅店再回加德滿都的😭

Recomendable 100%. Es un edificio nuevo y las habitaciones también. Todo está muy limpio, cama muy cómoda y extragrande, el baño tiene ducha con agua caliente. Nos quedamos en una habitación con terraza e increíbles vistas al valle de Katmandú. El dueño y su familia son encantadores, te hacen sentir como en casa y ayudan en todo lo que necesites: alquiler de moto, recomendaciones, autobuses... Íbamos para dos días y nos quedamos una semana. Se encuentra a pocos metros del templo de los monos y en el barrio tienes todos los servicios que necesites. También se puede caminar hasta el centro fácilmente. Sin duda un lugar para repetir. Gracias de nuevo por el buen trato durante nuestra estancia.

Very clean hostel and very accommodating and helpful owner and staff. I stayed in a private room with a balcony with an amazing view of Kathmandu city. They also have a nice rooftop to chill and relax. There are nice restaurants, cafes and bars all within walking distance from the hostel.

Lovely family run hostel away from overstimulating Thamel. Perfect home base for the chill traveler. It’s up on a hill so there’s always a beautiful view of the entire city. You can also walk to the famous monkey temple from here. Adjeet and his family are so sweet and welcoming. Plus dinner is always incredible. This truly became our home in Kathmandu. We ended up going back two times after our initial stay. If you are in Kathmandu for a trek this is the perfect hostel to stay at before and after your trek. It feels more like a homestay than a hostel ❤️

We had a fantastic time at Sparkling Turtle Backpackers in Kathmandu. The atmosphere was super relaxed and friendly perfect for travelers. The owner were incredibly helpful and always ready with great tips for exploring the city and beyond. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the common areas had a nice vibe where you could just chill after a day of sightseeing with a drink or a book. The location is a bit away from the noisy center, which we really appreciated. It’s peaceful, but still easy to get other attractions. Highly recommended for backpackers and budget travelers looking for a cozy, welcoming place in Kathmandu. Would definitely stay here again!

I have had a wonderful stay at the guesthouse. It is very clean and well maintained. The owner, Ajeet la, and his family are very welcoming. Sometimes we have to stay out late and they would kindly accommodate us. This is my repeat stay, always feel like coming back to second home where it’s safe and comfortable!
