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.

    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

    Maybe the best hostel I've ever stayed, you can see it's very thought through and there are decades of experience what all backpacker and hiker needs, so many places to hangout, receptionists are great and are ready to arrange everything you need and owner is there almost everyday also very friendly and helpful. Bit more expensive than other hostels in Pokhara, but great included breakfast actually makes the price very good.

    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.
