    The bathroom kept on having problems. First it was all really hot water of every tap, then the shower stopped working then when they fixed it the full bathroom flooded and didn't drain away over night. There was also a lot of black mould on the ceiling on the bedroom which is understandable but isn't great over time on the lungs.

    Great location and areas downstairs to relax. It's out of the way of the lake side but still accessible to it. The staff are on hand to fix what is needed. The smaller outside chill area outside of the dorm was nice to relax. Beds were great!!! Very sturdy wooden beams

    Dorm is right next to the reception so if there is any noise you hear it. Staff could have done more about it / should be aware of guests who are trying to sleep at 12am and 5am

    Great location, fantastic facilities, large attached bathroom to dorm

    I had a bad experience with this hostel. The bed was the hardest one I've ever tried, there was not any hot water in the shower and there were animals in the room. The staff were kind but hard to communicate with, as their English wasn't so good. Also they would make breakfast for me in the morning, but then they didn't do it because they had been partying and slept to long. I really can't recommend this hostel.

    Nothing to commit

    Sure, here's a well-crafted review for Hostel Gypsy in Pokhara, Nepal: --- I recently stayed at Hostel Gypsy in Pokhara, Nepal, and it was an incredible experience. From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the friendly and attentive staff, who went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable. The hostel's location is perfect, nestled in a serene area yet still close to the vibrant Lakeside area. This provides a peaceful retreat while offering easy access to the best restaurants, shops, and attractions in Pokhara. The accommodations are clean, cozy, and well-maintained. The dorms are spacious with comfortable beds and secure lockers. I also appreciated the modern, well-equipped bathrooms and the abundance of hot water, which can be a rare find in Nepal. One of the standout features of Hostel Gypsy is its communal atmosphere. The common areas are beautifully designed, creating a relaxed and inviting environment where travelers can easily connect and share stories. The rooftop terrace offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and Phewa Lake, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring. The hostel also offers a variety of activities and tours, from trekking adventures to cultural experiences, ensuring that guests can make the most of their time in Pokhara. The staff's local knowledge and recommendations were invaluable in planning my itinerary. Overall, Hostel Gypsy exceeded my expectations in every way. It's a gem in Pokhara, offering great value for money and an unforgettable stay. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting this beautiful part of Nepal. ---

    The room smelled a bit like smoke when we arrived. We got some air refresher which made it better.

    Good location and nice facilities and common area. This hostel has good potential to be a good place for travellers.

    I had a perfect stay in Gypsy Hostel. The room are large and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean and hot shower was available. The Gypsy Hostel has a really nice and huge common area. The staff was super friendly and we did a lot of activities together for example bicycle tour around the lake, sunrise in the mountains, playing billiard and table tennis. Furthermore, the staff helps me a lot to organise my upcoming trip and booked the bus tickets for me. Thank you for the wonderful time and your support. I highly recommend the Gypsy Hostel!
