My partner and I stayed at the Elbrus Home for just over 3 weeks (on and off) during our time in Nepal. Initially we booked online from Australia but once arriving in Kathmandu it became very apparent to us what a great little hostel this was so we continued coming back to it after side trips out to other parts...

I highly recommed Elbrus to everyone, who is looking for a place to stay in Kathmandu. It is definitely better and more relaxed than some more expensive hostels in Thamel. Khem is an amazing host, always making sure all the guests are happy. The rooms are clean, bright, with fan, attached bathroom with hot shower, sink and toilet paper. Drinking... More

Elbrus Home is good value for money, it's a great choice if you wish to stay in or near Thamel. (which is quite noisy, but I guess this is usual in this part of Kathmandu). The rooms are a bit small for a couple, but the atmosphere is very nice and the garden is excellent! The only thing we missed... More

The hotel is good, right on the edge of Thamel, an easy walk into the old streets. Elbrus Home is clean and well appointed, and everything works. Not sure what some people expect at this price, but I found it very, very good. But the best thing about Elbrus Home is Khem the operator/manager. He defines great service, and given... More

The bedroom i had was satisfactory but the hostel is not as clean as implied in the reviews. Khem the manager, was very keen for me to write my review in his presence and i just don't like the way i felt under pressure. It didn't have a genuine feel about it as other hostels have and i didn't feel... More

An excellent place to stay in Kathmandu! The owner is an amazing guy - he speaks great English, is very helpful with organizing any part of your trip and he even came to meet us at the airport on our second time staying there. The beautiful garden outside provides an escape from the busy Kathmandu streets and is a great... More

This is a great place to base yourself around trekking and safari trips. It has a lovely garden and several balconies which are as close to a relaxing retreat as you will find so close to Thamel (though don't expect total peace and quiet, nothing can block out those horns). The staff are very helpful and friendly, and even cooked... More

In crazy, dusty, magical Kathmandu, this was a haven, as soon as the gates were closed you arrive to a lovely garden dinning area. We were there on new years- so it was pretty noisy this night understandably. Each room is simple but fine and has a shared terrace which we loved to talk with other colourful guests at night...

Two mates and i stayed at Elbrus in February 2012 for three days and two nights before we continued on our trip throughout Nepal and India. All three of us found Elbrus a perfect place to stay for our first few nights in a new country. What really makes us hold this place in such high regard is the service... More
