The checking experience was fine and the woman was polite, friendly, and helpful. The hostel is very close to Lumbini Park. And that's a good thing.
In the morning however, when I went downstairs to do some exercise on the thin mattresses that they have available in the common area, the front desk guy was sleeping there. It was 5:30 in the morning. Nuff said..
Also, I spoke to the girls during the day shift, and complained about how so many of the surfaces such as the door knobs and handles and the stair railing, the toilet hise etc were just greasy. I suggested they get some rubbing alcohol from the pharmacy and clean it everyday because it was quite disgusting. These surfaces had not been cleaned... e v e r. To her credit, she did immediately told the cleaner guy who was there. If there's if there's going to be any real follow through is another story.
Other than that, it's a good place to stay in a good area.
