Located in Pokhara, 0.7 miles from Fewa Lake, Pokhara Backpackers Hostel has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

It’s a great deal, but if you’re big on privacy, just know the beds in the six-person room don’t have curtains.

Located in Pokhara, 0.7 miles from Fewa Lake, Kiwi Backpackers Hostel Pokhara has accommodations with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace.

The staff at this hostel are amazing! Shout-out to Arjun, Bibs and Maya and all of the other lovely folks working here. They are super friendly, and going back after our trek felt a bit like coming home. They deserve so much recognition as everyone is working their butts off haha! Otherwise, the rooms we had were really nice and clean and having breakfast included was also great. Very social place without being rowdy or loud. :)

    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
