    They have very good hot water pressure. Very clean rooms, bedding, showers, and common areas. Their staff were very friendly and always helpful. The best backpacker I stayed with in Nepal so far. Highly recommended it! Please say hi to the lovely lobby dog -Bunny if you go there!

    My second (kinda 3rd) stay in this hostel and, after taking a look at the other hostels around, I can definitely say that it's the best hostel in Pokhara ! Especially if you go for the 4 beds mixed dorm with view 🤩 The room is spacious, the beds really confortable and you get sun coming directly in the room all day. The common area / terrasse offers an amazing view on the lake. The toilets and showers are clean and you can really enjoy a hot steamy rain shower. And they have a proper kitchen which you can use and that's quite enjoyable 👌 The staff is also amazingly nice and helpful 💛

    it’s not a very social hostel, so keep that in mind in case you’re solo traveling! Obviously depends on the people who are staying there too!

    such a great hostel, we extended our trip twice! probably some of the biggest and most comfortable beds in all of Nepal haha! Great location on the Lakeside and very friendly staff.

    No restaurant inside the hostel, it would be nice at least for breakfast. But restaurants are right outside, so it’s not a big deal ;)

    Quiet and beautiful hostel located at the end of the lake promenade. Close to everything but still a bit outside of the main touristic area. Bright and comfortable dorms, with lockers, curtains, plugs and light for each bed. Bathroom are spacious and clean, and you can have very warm shower. Great value! I will definitely come back.

    Peaceful and clean hotel with a kitchen to prepare your own meals.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    The 4-bed mixed dorm has a lake view and a pretty little balcony. The dorm beds have curtains, fans and sockets. Beds are comfy and rooms and toilets are clean. The private rooms with AC and lake view are amazing with a bit of a rustic Himalayan vibe. They also have their own balcony. Only downside is that you usually have to book them several days in advance because they are so popular. There is always hot water in the showers. Hotel has a nice common room in the third floor with hammock and couches and with a wonderful view to the lake. There is also a kitchen for guests to use. Pretty nice for making noodles for a snack or even preparing a bigger meal. The hotel does not have a restaurant. The staff is very helpful and will basically arrange you anything you will need in Pokhara. You can also leave your additional belongings here if you plan to go for a hike. This is more peaceful hostel compared to Kiwi and Pokhara Backpackers for example, so don't expect as social or party experience. Most of the partying happens in southern lakeside, and this hotel is in the northern lakeside.
