The Sparkling Turtle Backpackers Hostel

Mr. Ajit is very good looking and a fun guy to hang out with and he believes in the motto of come as a tourist stay as a guest and leave as a friend. The hostel is very good, clean and hygiene is well maintained. The bed are very comfortable and bathroom is very clean and there is beautiful view from the window and terrace. A peaceful place to sleep. I highly recommend to stay here at THE SPARKLING TURTLE.

One of the best view and best hygiene there is no tension of anything ...near to every thing best management. Best rooms and a very good hotel .. when ever you all came to Katmandu always come to this hotel and do not thing once while booking this hotel

The ambience of the place is very nice, the view from the balcony is the best and the rooms and bathrooms are also very neat and clean, the beds and pillows are very comfy, i had a very good experience of my stay at the sparkling turtle and i would recommend everyone to visit this place

Peaceful stay, great food & lucky charm for my career. It felt like family. I did key career work and was eager to share work success with my mom, she not being present there but aunty/didi’s warm reaction filled my mom’s absence for that moment.

My stay at The Sparkling Turtle Hotel was truly special. From the warm welcome to the cozy atmosphere, everything felt just right. The host and their family went out of their way to make my stay comfortable and memorable. They helped me plan my trip, arranged a scooter and bike for exploring, and shared great tips about the city’s hidden spots and local culture. It made my adventure so much easier and more enjoyable. I also learned about the turtle’s symbolism in Nepali culture. The host explained how the turtle represents safety, stability, and grounding – qualities that perfectly reflect the peaceful and welcoming vibe of the hotel. It was fascinating to see how this cultural meaning was woven into the hotel’s theme. I highly recommend The Sparkling Turtle Hotel to anyone visiting the area. It’s not just a place to stay – it’s an experience filled with warmth, culture, and great memories. Thank you, and I hope to return one day!

This hotel is a true gem in Kathmandu. It is incredibly clean, peaceful, and affordably priced. The location is strategically very convenient Swayambhu is just nearby. Other parts of the city are also easily accessible. The view from the window is simply breathtaking—you can see the city of Kathmandu beneath your feet, with mountains visible on the horizon. The owner is an incredibly kind person who is always ready to help with any questions. I highly recommend staying at this hotel ❤️
