Featuring free WiFi and a restaurant, Kiwi Backpackers Hostel Pokhara offers pet-friendly accommodation in Pokhara, 200 metres from Fewa Lake. The guest house has a barbecue and terrace, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant. Free private parking is available on site.

Very good value for money. I have been staying there two nights before my short trek and one night after the trek.The double room, even if not huge, is modern, very clean and confortable with all amenities and lot of cupboards, also very comfy big bed with lot of pillows. Bathroom also good and hot water was coming out straight from the shower. When I arrived, I had little bit of waiting time to get the room ready after my checkin time, but this may be understandable as hostel seems always full. The builduing is very well maintained, having a lovely patio with garden, many nice common areas and a lovely roof bar. These spaces make very easy to socialise with other travellers. The staff has been nice and the owner was honnest, he gave to me a very good guidance in organising the perfect trek for me. My short trek to Australian base camp was very well organised and gave me a very pleasant and prepared trek guide, making my trip memorable. Breakfast, even if not with lot of options, was very good quality and was changing every day. Location is central, very few minutes walking from lake and around streets with shops, bars and restaurants.

Nice place. Breakfast is a hit or miss. Some days it’s good, some days not. The rooftop was a nice place to chill and hangout. The staff were also pretty nice. The room I was at was the one without ac and I preferred it because the weather in Pokhara is usually nice and pleasant. The AC rooms can be a bit too cold for my liking. Be aware it’s located at the far end of town but I found the walk to the town center pleasant and relaxing.

My 2 nights stay ended up a week stay and probably more. It's a family run hostel and they are just super awesome. The Hostel/Guest house is by the lakeside with the benefit of being slightly back. Central but quiet with a view. They have there own restaurant but also kitchen for guest which is important to me as i have a specific diet and prefer to cook myself. It's a must place if looking for a friendly and relaxing space. Do book in advance as they can be booked up but diffinately worth it.

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.

    Nice chilled out hostel with friendly staff. Large common room with places to sit, books to read and a TV sometimes showing sport. Rooms were comfortable. Water refills are available, you can book buses and tours at reception and there is a 'free stuff' area which is always handy for backpackers on a budget. Laundry is 150r per kg for 24 hour turnaround or 250r for six hours.

    Kiwi backpackers is one of the best hostels I have stayed in. Location is great, very central, staff are super helpful and lovely, rooms are clean comfortable and well appointed. I had a private room and it was excellent. General vibe is friendly with lots of opportunities to meet like minded travellers. Special mention to the lovely Maya and Susma.

    Best hostel I stayed in Pokhara, and I tried a few. Very spacious and clean rooms. Super comfortable beds. The owners are always so kind. Great location right in the centre of lakeside Pokhara, the street itself is more quiet which is great since there is not much noise at night. Showers might take a few min before getting warm but there is hot water, which is nice. It was not busy when I stayed there, I had the whole dorm to myself. Ended up staying way longer than planned, because I felt so at home here!

    The hotel was cheap but adequate. I didn't see any other guests during my stay so can't comment on the atmosphere or sound proofing of the room. Everything in the room worked - hot shower etc Good views from the roof of the mountains. Two minute walk to the lake. I briefly saw the room staff and they were friendly. The hotel felt safe.

    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
