During my stay in Thamel, I had the pleasure of staying at My Second Home Hostel, and I can confidently say it felt just like the name suggests—a second home. From the moment I arrived, the reception was warm and welcoming. The staff were friendly, approachable, and very helpful, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free. The owner, in particular, went out of their way to assist me in organizing a tour across Nepal, which made my trip so much easier and more enjoyable.
The rooms are simple but comfortable, and they serve the purpose perfectly for travelers looking for a cozy place to rest after a day of exploring. While they aren’t luxurious, they are clean, functional, and well-maintained, which is all you really need when you’re on the move.
One of the biggest advantages of staying here is the price. This hostel offers some of the lowest rates in Thamel, making it perfect for budget travelers or anyone planning a longer stay in the city. Despite the affordable cost, the quality of service and the helpfulness of the staff make it feel like great value for money.
Location-wise, it couldn’t be better. Being right in the heart of Thamel means you’re close to restaurants, shops, and transportation options, yet the hostel manages to maintain a quiet, comfortable atmosphere inside.
Overall, I would highly recommend My Second Home Hostel for anyone visiting Kathmandu. Whether you’re staying a few nights or several weeks, it’s a convenient, budget-friendly, and welcoming place that truly makes you...

I could not recommend ‘My Second Home’ more highly. It is the best place to stay when visiting this intriguing and adventures city that...
Read moreGreat location right off the street in Thamel. My Second Home has a very quiet courtyard just outside the noise and hustle of Thamel. The owner is very nice and fun to chat with. Rooms are a fair price. Hot showers and comfy beds were nice to come back to every night.
The owner is very knowledgeable about EBC trek and gave us lots of advice for our journey! He kindly held onto some items for us that we did not have room to trek with.
Small breakfast and coffee included with each day was an added bonus we enjoyed as well. We came back here after our trek since we knew what we would be getting! Would...
