Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    One of the best hostels ever. Beautiful view facing the lake, cleaning every day (they even wiped the couches in the common room), helpful staff, cheap coffee and food. The female dorm is just 4 beds and good vibe - as every where else in Pokhara

    Absolutely one of the best budget options one can get. The family that runs this place is really nice and friendly. The rooms are well maintained, comfortable and very clean. Showers are hot. Wifi routers on every floor. Tables and chairs outside the rooms for guests to have their food and drinks or do work. They provide food and prices are really cheap. They own a travel agency but are absolutely not pushy about tours and treks, but will answer all questions you have and help arrange guides if you need.

    I can’t fault this hostel. I had stayed at another down the road initially and luckily moved here. The hostel is in a great location (minutes from the lake), the service is brilliant and the staff are so friendly and take time to talk to you. The free breakfast is delicious and rooms also great and clean. There are also planned activities for those who wish to socialise. The bar on the rooftop and hammocks are also great. There’s also yoga classes twice a day.

    This is the place to meet new people. They have a lovely, chill rooftop with a bar where a lot of backpackers are chilling. The staf is very friendly and you can leave your logges here if you are going to a hike (if you stay one more night at the hostel after your hike). The facilities are clean and the breakfast changes every day.
