Elbrus Home

L'accueil est chaleureux, les lieux sont bien entretenus, on se sent comme chez soi très vite et c'est calme.

工作人员很热情

It is a great place! The garden is a nice quiet sanctuary in the busy Kathmandu city. The breakfast is nice and the hostel itself is just what you would expect nothing too fancy but everything is clean and comfortable. All in all a really good place.

There is no airco in the rooms. Which is completely fine, but good to know if it is hot.

Los empleados super amables y el desayuno 10 de 10.

Las camas laa sentí un poco duras y el internet por ratitos era muy lento.

Everything is amazing

Kalum at reception was very helpful for organising my bus onward travel, and my late check in. Good WiFi, air conditioning very good, very clean hostel. Only stayed 1 night for onward travel. Close to the main bus station to explore Sri Lanka

WiFi didn’t work in the rooms

I just love this place. Khem and the team are all so lovely and it feels like a second home when I'm in Kathmandu - thank you to you all for making Elbrus Home such a gem! Comfy beds, beautiful garden and a hot shower!

It must be my 5th stay here. Twice on this trip and 3 times in 2022. It felt like coming home when I returned to Nepal 4 years later. Such a great hostel and a great team that run it!

Best Location Ever and Breakfast Also Outstanding.

It was my 3rd time at this hostel and it feels like home! Great location, helpful and friendly staff, cheap same day laundry, comfy rooms, everything you need is there! Can't wait to go back

Breakfast location is very peaceful.i only suggest about breakfast need to give everyday change option. May be for foreigner tourist that breakfast is good but for nepali and indian visitor we love to eat slide spicy,flavour full and heavy breakfast in morning.

Extremely hospitable and helpful. They supplied us with everything we needed while we were there. Would most likely stay there again. Great area close to Thanks.

Adoro este hostal. Todas las veces que he estado en Katmandú me he alojado aquí. El personal es maravilloso, todos ellos son muy simpáticos y amables. Las camas son de lo más cómodo y el desayuno es delicioso. Está cerca de Thamel. Es un hostal tranquilo.

Hot shower, clean place and good breakfast. Helpful staff. I have stayed here multiple times.

Sehr nettes Personal, herzlicher Empfang, tolles Ambiente, gute Lage und Hilfe bei organisatorischen Anliegen

Comfy beds in dorm, free breakfast, they arranged a taxi to airport for me. Free big locker.

It was pretty hot in the dorm, there is no AC. Basic shared bathroom, but fine if you don’t expect any luxury.

Emplacement idéal, pas très loin de Thamel et de petit restaurant très bon Petit déjeuner inclus et bon. Extérieur sympa et appréciable

Pas de rideau au lit donc très peu d'intimité dans le dortoir Même si ce n'est pas de la responsabilité de l'hotel : Attention à vos affaires, bien tout mettre dans le locker, je me suis fait malheureusement voler des choses directement dans mon lit... Propriétaire sympa mais sans sourire, impression parfois de déranger un peu mais peut être tombé sur un mauvais jour Lit confortable mais couette très lourde

Nice garden space, free breakfast, comfy rooms!

It’s 2nd time staying here, wonderful as always for the price point. Really comfortable beds, which is the main reason I stay here. The staff are all lovely and the breakfast is great. Hot showers too! Highly recommend

It's a hostel/hotel with basic amenities. I booked a single room. The room and bathroom were very clean. Breakfast was very good, though it's the same everyday. Plenty of hot water available all day. For the price, it's great value. This is my second time staying here.

Nothing.

The place itself is nice. It's well maintained, there's a nice breakfast. The rooms are clean, the bathroom is well maintained. Beds are very comfortable. Garden is very chill.

The owner and some of the staff memebers are rude and aggressive. Upon check-in, the owner was acting incredibly strange. Once he found out we are Israeli he kept on rushing us to finish filling out the check in paper, by repeating rude words in Hebrew over and over again. Upon check-out, he forgot to charge me one extra night. When I noticed it and told him, he tried to over-charge me for that night. And when I pointed it out, he was acting passive-aggressive and took down the price, as if he was doing me a favour.

L'ambiance et le cadre avec le jardin à 2 pas de Thamel sont vraiment très appréciable. La chambre est très spacieuse. Le rapport qualité prix et petit déjeuner inclus sont imbattables et le personnel est très efficace, compétent, et souriant, avec un humour "pince sans rire" très sympa !

Route légèrement bruyante sur la chambre "low-cost", mais ne m'a pas empêché de bien dormir. Matelas un peu mou et creusé, mais pour quelques nuits, pas de soucis, ça passe

Cosy Hostel/Guesthouse in a good location, the room was clean and comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful! Thanks.

Nice garden. Good breakfast friendly staff.

Amazing location, great free breakfast, nice staff!!

Perfekte Lage und super netter Host! Mit dem Frühstück einfach top

I stayed for 6 days, 2 to start and 4 at the end. The place is relaxing with good basic breakfast. Location is in Thamel. Owner was very helpful with calling the cab including early morning flight to Lukla. Bed, shower and room were very comfortable. The neighbourhood is quite noisy with traffic and dogs, but nothing a set ear plugs can't take care of.

None

Khim (de eigenaar) is erg vriendelijk & behulpzaam! Als je vragen hebt rondom vervoer of trekkings kun je bij hem terecht. Lekker ontbijt erbij, leuke tuin & goede prijs-kwaliteit. Aanrader!

Super hostel, bien tenu et où l'on s'y sent bien. Petit déjeuner inclus. Le gérant m'a attendu une partie de la nuit alors que je revenais au petit matin de Pokhara par bus de nuit. Tout le personnel est adorable et très serviable !

Staff was very helpful. Breakfast was very good.

Amazing staff and great value for money!

性價比高、有單人房很讚、早餐簡單好吃

沒有吹風機稍不方便，但其他優點太多所以還是會想再來住

Amazing place to stay if going hiking. Can keep your bag there during your trek. Staff are really nice and always available.

Elbrus Home is a peaceful oasis in the ever so busy Kathmandu. Nice garden, great shower and delicious breakfast. I ve been treated as family.

★★★★★ A Perfect Stay in Kathmandu – Exceptional Hospitality & Comfort! Our stay at Elbrus Home was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Khem, the manager, and the entire team were incredibly friendly, attentive, and went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed. The hostel itself has great facilities, and our room was clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the delicious continental breakfast—a great way to start the day! The location is ideal—close enough to Thamel for convenience, yet tucked away in a peaceful and quiet area, giving us the best of both worlds. Our only regret is that we couldn’t go on a trek with LB, the in-house guide, who was so kind and knowledgeable—next time for sure! If you’re looking for a homely, well-run hostel with warm hospitality in Kathmandu, Elbrus Home is the place to stay. Thank you, Khem and team, for such a memorable experience—we’ll definitely be back!

The place is well located in Thamel and near many restaurants, cafe etc. The breakfast it is usually included and it is composed by tea/coffe, egg, white bread with jam/honey and juice. If you are looking for a guide to go trekking they will organize it for you.

Nothing

Good location. Nice rooms. Friendly staff. Great breakfast.

Nothing much to complain about.

Elbrus home is fantastic. This was our second stay and I would highly recommend! The beds are comfortable, the shower is hot with good pressure and it's great having breakfast in the morning. It is also super close to Thamel.

The only con is very slow spotty internet. We stayed in the second building this time and the wifi could be improved.

This was my third stay. it started to feel like home. Great staff, thanks again.

nothing

Very nice and cozy hostel, made with a lot of love, super cozy beds and a bright room, lots of possibilities to hang out on the different terraces and the garden, the staff was super friendly and always helping you out with tours. I definitely recommend this place

Second stay. Perfect place to stay and will be coming back soon.

We LOVED our time staying in Elbrus Home. During our 3 month stay in Nepal, we stayed here multiple times in between treks, or visiting various parts of the country. It felt like our home away from home. Incredible value with a great breakfast every morning. Super quiet rooms and comfortable bed. Only 2 minute walk to Thamel. And an amazing restaurant next door (Panas Cafe - great local food at amazing prices). Nice outdoor seating/common area. Free luggage storage was super helpful too. We will 100% stay here again the next time we are visiting Nepal. Thank you!

Everything was great.

Stayed for 2 nights and will be staying there again after trekking. Room was very comfortable, breakfast excellent, staff very helpful. I also liked the location, only 5 min from Thamel with a great garden. Looking forward to my next stay.

Nothing

Great value with super friendly and helpful staff. Location is nice and pretty quiet. I would definitely stay here again.

LOVED the free breakfast in the mornings. The staff were super friendly and the having breakfast in the courtyard every morning was a great way to start the day and get to know new people. Would highly recommend Elbrus Home!

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! Breakfast was delicious! The bed was really comfy, and the view from the window was great. Will definitely be back, thanks Elbrus Home!

Over the two months we stayed in Nepal, we always made sure to book ahead to get into Elbrus Home. The staff were always super kind and helpful with organizing taxis and buses for trekking and general sightseeing. They let you store your belongings for free which is perfect for treks. The breakfast is super yummy and SO fast. The location is ideal since it’s a tiny bit away from the chaos of Thamel but still so close (5 min walk). There is a yummy momo place down the road (RK Momo). The rooms were always great with exceptionally comfortable beds and nice heavy duvets.

We had a wonderful stay at Elbrus home. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. They were really kind letting us leave our kit and bike boxes in their storage room for a couple of weeks whilst we head elsewhere. The breakfast every morning was delicious! Would really recommend!

Stayed there twice and will probably be back for the 3rd. The owner is such a nice man, well all employees are actually. The dorm is spacious with a cute balcony. It's clean enough. The terrace and the garden are great to chill and meet people. Breakfast is more than enough with eggs, ghee, jam, bread, banana, coffee or tea and juice

Some sheets and towels need to be replaced as they have rips Curtain for beds would be nice for privacy The bathroom is not so clean sometimes

The location is excellent (just a minute walk to thamel), rooms are very comfortable, breakfast is consistent and good. Free luagge storage. We've stayed here at least 3 times now and would highly recommend it.

Very good place near thamel. Khem at the reception is a really good person and he takes care of me very well. I'm definitely going back to this place. Namaste

The host is super, and the location is perfect (just next to Thamel)

The staff was really helpful. They arranged transport & were always at place. I liked everything at the hotel:)) It's near the popular tourist district - Thamel. It's got a great view from the roof terrace onto Kathmandu :)) You can get tasty breakfasts prepared for you ( you can choose what you want) Can reccomend it fully :))

Started the before and after doing the Annapurna circuit and both times it was a great stay. Would also recommend booking your trekking needs with them as well

This was my second stay at Elbrus Home, and I loved both visits! The owner is amazing and kind, always available to help out with a smile. The facilities are great, the house has a nice atmosphere and full of other travelers/backpackers, and it is exceptional value for the money. Location is ideal, walkable to the main tourist area and many other sights. I am sure I will be back again on my next visit to Nepal :)

Very nice and attentive stuff. Beds were comfy, breakfast complete and the locations is calm and centric.

Great hosts very friendly and helpful, there is a tourist desk inside the hostel which offers great deals on trekking and other activities. We did the mardi Himal trek which was recommended to us and it was fantastic. Breakfast included amazing and very hot water.

Not much

Owner was drunk all the time. He was very rude and misbehaved with me and my girlfriend. He did not give me breakfast on the last day after taking the money for the stay. When I confronted him for his behavior he abused me and made racial comments. No facilities were available, bedsheets were dirty and he did not change them for 3 days even after asking him to do so. He refused to take inidan currency when i tried to pay the hotel fare. I want Booking.com to take strict action against such hotel and hotel owners. They think they can do whatever they want and nobody will say anything.

Will definitely stay here again when I’m back! The owners are incredibly kind, helpful and welcoming, they all always have a smile on their face! The rooms are kept clean, the bathroom also clean with a hot shower, and location is super convenient for getting around. It’s also a great place to meet people - everyone I connected with here was amazing. Plus, breakfast is quick, convenient, and great. Highly highly recommend!

Khem is an exceptional host; he welcomed us warmly and was extremely kind, as were his collaborators. The trip he organized for us to Pokhara and Nagarkot was well-planned. Unfortunately, the roads are very rough because they are still paving them.

You should provide some electric heater more, as the weather is very humid in Kathmandu

Super comfortable and clean rooms! Fantastic location! The owner is very kind and let us store our luggage for free while we were trekking. Breakfast was always good with good size portion. Rooms were very quiet. Nice hot shower.

Nothing! Everything was awesome!
