    definitely my favorite spot in Pokhara if I ever return to Nepal ; )

    nothing much to think of ! I'm quite happy with my stay !

    An exceptionally well-managed , clean, and comfortable place to stay in ! A very accommodating team and will go out of their way to give you a great service. They are available almost all of the time and will always find a way to help you whether you need to plan for a trek, learn about Nepal and the city, or just need a charger/adapter. The place also has a great kitchen that offers a variety of vegetarian meals, anything from pasta, burgers, to authentic local dishes . (some amazing chefs !)

    Absolutely nothing!

    This hostel is the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in. From Europe to Asia, this one stands out like no other. The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and warm. D hosted an excellent trivia night which brought many backpackers together. Puskar was always friendly and put together a top tier kitchen, putting out food which is restaurant quality. Even a simple salad was elevated and the included breakfasts were elaborate, rotating to a new menu every morning. Sam at the front desk was extremely helpful in putting together our stay and trek for ABC with a stellar guide Raju. I wish I didn’t have to leave this place. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. There is a top tier espresso bar which is rare in any hostel, let alone a hotel. This is a truly special place and I can’t recommend staying here if ever in Pokhara. You will meet and socialize with many fellow travelers, locals, and make new friends for life. Till next time!

    There were no towels provided, although the hostel description indicated otherwise. We delivered our laundry at the reception and they indicated it was feasible to get the 6hours service. Because there were apparently multiple power shortages during the day, it was not finished the same day, but we could pick it up the next morning before breakfast.

    We spent one night in the hostel. We arrived early and we were able to drop our bags so we could already explore the city. The room was spacious and clean. The hostel has a nice common area where you could eat and drink something. It seemed there were also some social activities provided so you can meet other people. Because we only stayed one night, we didn't participate in them. You couldn't choose the breakfast (it was only one dish), but it was definitely yummy (French toast with fruits and chocolate sauce 😋).

    there was some miscommunication between the hostel staff. I’d say they need to work on how they communicate so that there aren’t mix ups. other than that, no complaints

    I stayed in the female dorm and met some cool girls. Beds are so cozy. toilet paper & towels are provided. hot showers. complementary amazing breakfast is different everyday. kind people and delicious on-site restaurant. they do some paid and unpaid group activities such as trivia quiz and little excursions. I would recommend.

    I have no complaints with my stay.

    I really enjoyed my stay here as it had character. It wasn't just a place to stay, but a place I felt welcome and with very friendly staff. The common room was a great place to relax, and the breakfasts were good. The hostel is also in a great location, as you are close to the lake and a large selection of restaurants. Another bonus is that the room had a hot shower, something I struggled to find in Nepal.
