I keep returning to Bag Packer's Lodge when in Kathmandu. It's the best value and friendliest staff! Krishna has become a friend over my visits. So conveniently located, right in the heart of everything. Will definitely continue to stay here whenever I am in Kathmandu.

Great value, excellent stay
We had a great stay. The bed was a little creaky but for the price this is really excellent value compared to some of other hotels we have stayed at the same price. The staff were super helpful. We took the hotel car to the airport which was very reasonably priced at 700 rupees. The only minus point was that the driver very directly asked for a tip when he dropped us off at the airport, which we thought was a little off-putting.

Very, very nice people who aren't pushy with booking services. If you need adventure booking, they have but they don't force it on you. Which is great. Super cool staff

Very noisy place. I had the upper floor and heard a lot of noise and banging from the rooftop restaurant. Many flies also in the room. Staff was friendly and helpful.

부모님과 동생까지 4가족이 포카라 가기 전후에 묵게 되었습니다. 위치도 너무 좋고 아침 식사도 맛있었습니다. 직원들은 재미있고 친절하며 문제가 생기면 적극적으로 도와주었고 며칠동안 다른지역을 다녀오는 동은 짐도 잘 보관해주었습니다. 깔끔하고 가성비 짱!!

Hotel Bag Packer’s Lodge
Hôtel bien situé. Accueil agréable. Toutefois à souligner 2 points : 1. chambres côté rues à éviter car bruit incessant et fenêtres laissent passer tout le bruit extérieur. 2. Le gérant propose des circuits à un tarif très cher. Payer 40 dollars pour aller à Nagarkot voir un coucher de soleil non visible car ciel nuageux alors que j’avais dit mes doutes à ce sujet. Ce dernier ne m’ a pas déconseillé de le faire, au contraire ça va aller sur place. Je me suis fait avoir. J’ai perdu mon argent et perdu mon temps à cause de la malhonnêteté de ce monsieur. C’est très dommage de profiter des touristes ainsi. Je garde un sentiment très négatif et je suis très déçue.
