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.

Almost everything was great. I stayed in many different hostels and hotels, and this one is even better than many hotels in the area. I was happy to have hot shower any time of the day. Common room is also nice and spacious (although in the open air). They also have a kettle and a cafe downstairs where you can have some food and drinks. Beds in the dorms are very comfy and with lots of space. I found staff very nice and friendly, thank you. Location is very nice as well.

No common kitchen to prepare the food. I didn’t like noisy cleaning ladies, every morning they scream through the whole building (you can hear them even if they are on another floor). They also liked to open the door to the dorm and not to come in.

Loved the beds with little curtains. Loved the staff- they were SO nice, kind, and helpful. I Loved the location- its on the edge of likeside but that is exactly what I was after- close enough to a few nice places, walking distance but outside main part. Social space was great with hammock. Female dorm was nice, personal locker available, cleaned everyday. So greatful.

Not ideal if you have food intolerances, but there's safe food places very close by. The bathroom door was a bit noisy so difficult to be quiet. Very little to complain about, really liked it.

great location and very friendly staff - always ready to help with any minor or major issues! was able to swap my dorm when i wasn't happy with it & samir was always super flexible with me changing my dates/adding nights. when some of my laundry went missing ashok tracked it down for me too. also om was a sweetheart and even took me to the tourist bus park on his scooter after i had several bad experiences with indrive drivers. the food is also rly good - the momos were freshly made and actually better than the momos in some of the restaurants nearby!!

occasionally there were some issues with cleanliness of the bed linen & the laundry service (but the staff sorted it for me as soon as i mentioned it!) some of the lights are a bit dodgy in the common areas/showers and some of the fans in the rooms also don't work properly but no biggie.

Rooms were clean, beds comfortable, nice balcony area for socialising, nice view of the lake from the balcony as well, good location.

Staff sometimes were unprofessional a few times. I booked a mixed dorm room, staff member said there is a female dorm room for same price, I said it doesn’t really matter, staff member proceeded to repeat this a few more times until I said you can move me to female dorm room if you prefer. I had to move to mixed dorm room eventually anyway on my last visit due dorm unavailability. A more recent example would be when I was paying and the same staff member asked me how much money I have on my bank account card. Bit strange to be asked this, never had this before. Staff may benefit from some guidance around appropriate conversations!

Always love to be here. I have been to Pokhara many times and probably the best spot in Pokhara to stay. This was my second time staying here. The staffs were super friendly. The location is amazing. You just can step in. I could find most of the old staff, except for the “Little Boy” who was very entertaining. Nevertheless, the staffs helped me out with everything. You just ask for it. They will give you expert directions and honest opinions. Loved the staffs. They can help you with everything, except the monsoon rain. Hope to be back again soon.

Can't think of anything! That is how good it is. It was simple, homely, humble. That's all I asked for :)

We had the best stay here! The beds are super comfortable and highly recommend the air con room. The staff go above and beyond helping with taxis (shout out to Buddhi - best taxi driver!), tours and advice for things to see in Pokhara. They are so friendly and made our stay so easy. We had no issues with bugs or anything; after seeing some reviews I was a bit worried but the property was so clean and we would come back for sure. Food and drinks available at the property if you don’t fancy heading out. If you do want to head out though the location is great it’s right next to heaps of eateries right by the lake, highly recommend vegan way and the juicery. The views from our room and the common area are stunning - right over the lake!

The Wi-Fi is quite weak; so it was hard to do some things like bookings etc for later in our trip. And our shower was a bit of a nightmare. Everytime you used it the whole bathroom would flood and so we had to stop the water running in between using body wash/shampoo/conditioner. I think that those two things are the only things I would like to see the hostel improve.

Very chill place with very nice lake view. Ideal for digital nomads who wanna chill place to relax. Wifi was working well and not too busy there. Location is interesting, because very close to vegan way restaurant.

The dorms people dont respect much to leave shoes outside, It stank ! Staff should check more the answer they send to clients, it will help them avoiding making mistake about night counts.

I like the location being slightly away from the peak location of the city, yet has it's own neighbourhood with a nice lake view. It was very quiet and the dormitory is well designed with high privacy and necessary amenities (eg a reading lamp, and a small fan)

My bed in the dormitory was quite away from the main fan of the room. It was a little too warm for me to sleep. It could be more airy if maybe one more big fan is set up there. ( there was a small fan in the bed too, but the wind is a bit too weak)
