Welcome to Ideal Hostel
Find a hostel bed in Nepal
Search free beds by district, hostel type and budget. Send a request to the hostel. If they approve it, they hold a bed for you. Booking costs nothing.
Hostels with room
Free beds come from each hostel’s own room records, so a bed shown free here is free at the hostel.
How booking works
There is no booking fee. You pay the hostel when you move in.
Search
Filter hostels by province, district, type, room and budget.
Request a bed
Pick a room type with a free bed and send your details. You get a request number to check on it.
Hostel approves
The hostel sees your request in its console and approves or declines it.
Move in
Once approved, a bed is held for you until a few days after your move-in date. Pay the hostel when you arrive.
Every in and out, recorded by itself
Face recognition on the gate cameras and face terminals logs each resident’s in and out times as they pass. Parents see them in the app; the warden sees who is late after curfew.
- Faces the camera doesn’t know are flagged with a snapshot to check, and it learns from each one you confirm
- Video stays on the hostel’s own computer; only who, when and which gate go online
- Only for residents whose consent the hostel has recorded; keeps recording when the internet is down
Where the information comes from
Listed hostels keep their rooms and students on Chatrabas.app. Free beds and prices come from those records.
Free beds
Counted from each hostel’s room records when you search. Occupied, blocked and held beds are left out.
Approved before listing
A hostel appears here only after the Chatrabas.app team has approved its account.
Free to book
Requesting a bed costs nothing. You pay the hostel directly when you move in.
Prices by room
Monthly rent for single, twin and shared rooms, as the hostel sets it in its own records.
Every hostel’s own page
Each hostel has a website with its photos, rooms, meals, rules and location.

Ideal Hostel has used Chatrabas.app for two years: beds and dues, gate cameras that note who comes and goes, meals, and an app where parents can see it all. List your hostel and use every part of it, free.
