    A little to hard mattress!

    The breakfast was absolutely delicious, it was very easy to make friends, en-suite bathroom in the dorm room and the staff was both helpful and really friendly. On top of that they had a guitar to borrow, and a rooftop with a great view both over the city and over some of the mountain peaks!

    There is no indoors space to lounge except the dorm room.

    The room was clean, breakfast is included, and it is in a good location. I felt welcomed when I arrived. The bathrooms are cleaned every day. There are many restaurants to choose from. They offer assistance with booking tours. The hostel provides different activities. My favourite was the hike to visit the Peace Pagoda. All of my questions were answered.

    Anoop and his team who run the place were so warm and friendly and made me feel comfortable and part of the family so quickly. And yes.. the breakfast was brilliant. I was extremely impressed by the pricing and the quality of stay and food that was provided.

    I stayed at Pokhara Backpackers Hostel twice, both in the 6-bed dorm and a private room. The mattresses are comfy, the showers hot and you get something different for breakfast every single day which is great! It's a social place where it's easy to meet other travellers without being loud, and features an on-site restaurant. The second time I stayed, I was sick. Anup, Sagar and the team took excellent care of me, checking in each day to see how I am, delivering food and drinks to my room and organising a doctor to come see me when it got really bad. I always wondered why people pointed these things out in reviews but after having been sick on my travels before, I've learned it is by no means standard to be looked after as well as I was here. Can definitely recommend this hostel.

    maybe it should change the main picture on the booking page cuz that looks not so attractive haha I almost passed it but luckily I booked PBH.

    yeah I like everything of here! Breakfast is so delicious and pretty! It's close to the lakeside and the tourist bus station. The staffs are all very friendly and willing to help, they help me to get the ticket and also the taxi to buglung station for the trek. Roommates also caring and good, things are just wonderful here.

    Since it's a hostel, there's just one breakfast option every morning (menu changes everyday). There's no elevator.

    Great location, excellent rooms, and very courteous staff. Total value for money!

    Only fault was the shower. It was only Luke warm.

    Exceeded my expectations. Nice new building tucked away from the main street. High ceilings and big windows. Lots of charging points with good WiFi. We only stayed one night and left early so I can't comment about the breakfast. Good location near the lake.

    Everything honestly. The staff has become family to me and my father, the beds are the best ones we had in all of Nepal, warm showers and clean facilities. downstairs they have a social area where you can eat your breakfast and get to know other guests, sometimes they have fun bonfires and social games. Location is great too and anything you are wondering to do the reception staff (anup specifically) can help you get anything done!

    The hostel is located right in front of the lake and the location is excellent ☺️ you have everything you need close by. The staff is super helpful with everything, they helped me throughout my stay, they are fantastic 😍. You can organize everything with them, any tour or activity.

    Breakfast is egg oriented and they had only puri bhaji for pure vegetarian.

    PBH is one of most booked hostel in Pokhara and I could see why. A lot of amenities like towel, shampoo, free breakfast etc makes it great for backpacking and location is also good.
