    The owner is a super kind and warm person. He was attentive to me throughout my stay, advising me and giving me recommendations about everything. Whenever I have needed something he has been willing to help me. I wasn’t a guess I was a friend of him.

    The owner "always" respected me as a human, and showed me dignity, genuinely. He is one of the only persons that didn't made me feel insecure. I respect him for that. The hostel is very well located and has a chill vibe. Breakfast is very good, and I could even use the kitchen sometimes. The hostel is clean. I recommand, also he cooks very good food.

    The only thing that I would change is the pillows that were to heavy and hard. But the rest amazing

    Good breakfast included, hot water and for an amazing price and the staff were super helpful where I got to let my stuff there for 2 weeks while I was doing the annapurna circuit.

    Perfect location, very short walking distance from lakeside bars and restaurants but on a quiet street away from the traffic and busy vibe of the main street. Hot water, clean facilities and amazingly comfy beds with new bedsheets. The owner is very kind and always happy to help. Very nice cafe and open sitting area both downstairs and upstairs (balcony side). I stayed at Margik´s 2 times during my stay in Pokhara (in total 9 days) and I would definitely go back.

    The only negative thing I would say is that the place is closed during the night, so you can't go in and out whenever you want. However, the owner is always available for opening the door. On my side, I had to wake up between 5-6 am two days. I just called him and immediately he let me out, though I always felt bad for waking him up. Another thing, just as an improvement, it could be great to have individual lights on each bed. Despite this, I fully recommend this place for your stay! :)

    I stayed for 3 nights in a 6-bed fem room. However, as it was during the low season, I was alone in the room for two nights. The place is super well located. 5 min walk from lakeside but away from the crowded atmosphere. The room was wide, with lookers, comfy mattresses and warm blankets. You have several showers and toilets available. One of the best things are the common areas. One is on the first floor, where the rooms are. The other is on the ground floor, where the entrance is. This last one has several tables and sofas, so it's a great place to relax and hang out. They also provide food which is nice and cheaper than anywhere else. Breakfast consisted of an omelette and two toasts with butter and jam, pretty tasty. The owner was also super nice, he was willing to help you with anything you may need. He also provided take-away breakfast for me on the day I was leaving (thank you again for that).

    Nothing as such. Value for money for the amount you pay for stay.

    Owners of the hostel was nice and food was also good. Comfortable bed. Good value for money as you get breakfast included in the same amount. Its a good place for budget travelers. Must stay here.

    The hostal is perfect for Budget Traveling. you will get a good bed and a good common area. The price includes a breakfast and that is very good too. what I liked the most was the effort of the owner to make the things that where not ok, right. he fixed an issue with the hot water and was very responsive for questions. I felt that he is an honest business owner trying to make this work. that is why I am leaving this honest review. There are things to improve but for 4 dollars the night and breakfast is quite good.
