Elbrus Home — Hotel in Kathmandu Metropolitan City

The owner/guy at the reception was rude and uncouth. Made it a point to make fun of the fact that I paid 850 nepali rupees from the airport ( my first time in Nepal and I had dropped them an email about airport transfer that they never bothered responding. ). Also, when I tried asking them about advice was dismissed offhandedly. He made it a point to let me know that he won't allow me back with girls or drunk ( that's what indians do apparently, according to him)

Later in the night he was himself drunk AF with a mate and calling out slurs. The irony.

Coming to the room, I paid around 1700 nepali rupees for a single twin ensuite room..the windows were flimsy and there was no reliable plug point. I didn't feel safe leaving my stuff in there. The room reeked of mold bleach and old socks. It was dusty and somewhat dirty. The toilet wouldn't flush properly.

Although I booked for two days, I checked out in a day. Have to give them that, they were nice enough to charge me only for one day. Also, the breakfast was spot on. Especially since it was complimentary.

Overall id say with a little bit of tlc, it can be a decent homely place. But nowhere it deserves the 9,4 star it has on...

★★★★★ 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...

I had a really nice stay in Elbrus Home! I spent some more time in Kathmandu and was very happy to have a rather big, clean and light room with even a desk provided. The hostel allows you to either do your own things and spend some time alone on any of the roof top balconies or the garden, but if you feel like talking to some other people and sharing some time together, there are plenty of spaces to do so as well. Khem and his staff are all really nice and try their absolute best to help everybody with whatever plans they have for their stay in Kathmandu and Nepal. The location is ideal to be not fully in the middle of Kathmandu's tourist district Thamel, but to have it still in very close reach. The included breakfast is also nice and there are some good spots for nice food quite near as well. I definitely recommend coming here and will come...
