There's a particular kind of property that travellers keep coming back to in Kathmandu: Funky Monkey Hostel Hotel & Apartment Thamel, a hostel in Kathmandu, fits that bill. Geographically speaking it's a short ride from the main sights, and the fair location rating in guest reviews backs that up. Inside, the rooms are practical, and guests pick out reliable wi-fi and an in-house restaurant as the small things that add up over a stay. The vibe lands somewhere between residential and editorial, which is rarer than it sounds. Pull the review pages apart and you find 40 reviews, with a solid consensus that's hard to engineer. The reputation reads as steady rather than spiking. Recent rates have been hovering around €6 a night, which lands as a strong-value option for the city. The honest read on Funky Monkey Hostel Hotel & Apartment Thamel is that it deserves a side-by-side look against the bigger Kathmandu names rather than a headline of its own.
