    Since, it's beside the road, it gets pretty noisy in the morning, making it difficult to sleep.

    Location was great. Amazing view.

    The staff was super friendly, always ready to help. You can leave your luggage in the storageroom when you go for a hike. The beds are good and the shower is hot and has a lot of water pressure.

    The terrace with seats and hammock and lake view would by idyllic if it wasn't for the noise from the traffic on the main road. Still, if you want to be close to everything, this is a good choice. It's difficult to escape traffic noise in Pokhara.

    Great location, lovely staff, comfy clean rooms. Nice food and also good terrace.

    This hotel is truly fantastic. The staff is extremely welcoming and helpful. The location with the view over the lake gives a very relaxing vibe. In particular, the common area on top of the house is so cozy. I highly recommend staying at this hotel.

    Dorms were good. The staff and Hotel Owner were very cooperative and Friendly. They didn't even charge for Bags I had left while on trekking. Any requirements(trekking, Cabs) are promptly attended by the staff. If I visit Pokhara again I will definitely choose this Hostel for my stay. It's so close to Lakeside that you can see Lake outside the doors.

    Great stay all around! We actually spent a few nights at the other end of the lake in a more expensive hotel as part of a trekking itinerary. We ended up having a couple of nights after the trek and moved here. Very happy with the private rooms for the cost, and we enjoyed staying at this end of the lake more than the other. The staff was so friendly and helpful. And they made good food as well!

    The communal terrace and balconies have a nice view on the lake, but the street is right under you so there's a lot of noise. I stayed in a female dorm and they were quite small.

    Staff was really friendly and it's more on the direct north side of the lake, but still close to nice restaurants!
