Alobar1000, Kathmandu, Nepal

Namaste and Hello to everyone.Alobar1000 is one of the very few youth hostels in Kathmandu, Nepal. We opened our door in March 2012 and now officially we are your family here in Nepal. This is exactly what we work for, a home away from home feeling. The name Alobar1000 came from the book Jitterbug Perfume by an epic storyteller, Tom Robbins. The main character in this enchanting epic is named Alobar, who defies the concept of death, and through will, meditation, daily rituals, and love of his companion Kudra lives to be 1000 years old. Thus the name alobar1000.This book has captured the hearts and imaginations of many people around the world, including ours...May we all live full, long, and happy lives together... forever!We are very young group of team operating the management and we are very serious about our commitment to provide a quality service. More importantly a personal relationship with a family environment feel.I can't emphasize enough the reality of the fact that Nepal has many problemetic issues like with running water and electricity. Please bear with us. We always try our best to make your stay a comfortable one but sometimes we also fail. If you are one of those who are very picky about issues like that then I am sorry to say alobar1000 is not the place for you. What we focus here at alobar1000 are the following:1. cleanliness2. Hot shower3. 24 hour running water and electricityThese are basics in any hotel but we make sure you are provided with these essentials. What we also focus is the friendliness and a family environment that makes it spiritually complete. Nepal is famous for its friendly and caring nature and I must say we put that in our recipe of service.Few things we provide for our guests are:We offer tea whole day for 5 Rupees.We have no additional charge for the blankets and locker use anymore.Also, all the taxes are included in the room rates.There is a refundable 500 rupees key deposit.We offer airport pickup service for 400 rupees.We also offer taxi service within Ring Road in Kathmandu for 350 Rupees.Beware with the other airport taxi drivers, they might wrongly inform you that our hostel doesn't exist anymore because they would like to take you to a different hostel. And hope to see you soon.
