The owner took us on an interesting cultural experience. The other guests were incredible and I loved how easy it was to make friends. Owner was also very accommodating when I needed a room to take a meeting in and when I needed to leave earlier than originally planned

I didn’t like how every single evening the owner would get drunk with a bunch of friends in the public space and apparently make inappropriate advances at one of my friends. It felt unsafe and I needed to make sure to lock the door every night

1. Location is really good just near the lake. 2. The stay was very affordable. 3. Breakfast is good. 4. Good wi-fi connection, I was there for my wfh job and the internet speed was good. 5. Good atmosphere in common area.

1. Only 1 fan for the whole dorm room. It would be good to have small fans for each bed as it was very hot. 2. They do provide lockers but you have to come with your own lock and key. 3. Bathrooms could have been a little cleaner.

The staff is super friendly and they hand out great travel advice on where to go sightseeing in and around Pokhara. The common area is a great place to meet and connect with new people. However, if you are not feeling sociable there is also a rooftop terrace where you can have more privacy.

The bathrooms for the dorms could use renovation and more frequent cleaning. In my dorm there wasn't really the possibility to charge your phone safely. The socket was next to the door and I didn't feel comfortable charging my phone there overnight.

The loving nature of Mr. Narain (hostel manager) made my journey and stay so comfortable. The rooms were cleaned with hot water on a permanent basis . Daily rooms were checked for cleanliness. All the working staff behaviour was very good with their customers. Mr Narain booked me vehicle on rent and the fare of the vehicle was less than the others one so you can save some money asking him to arrange a taxi. It was really my memorable stay in this hostel as I made some nice friends during the stay.

Nothing to say about not liking..

Great location on the main strip. Nice view over the lake from the roof terraces, and can even see Machhapuchchhre peak when it's not cloudy. Friendly staff, often asking what we're up to today and asking about our day. Breakfast was pretty good, the potatoes are nice, and they were happy to switch out egg for banana for me. Beds were comfy enough. Lockers under bed are big which is great. Comfy furniture at breakfast. Help to organise tours and excursions. Was given a free upgrade from 10-bed dorm to 4-bed, thank you for that.

Pillow was a little bit hard. 4-bed room was small and not really enough space for bags. Some of the lockers under the bed were broken so you couldn't lock them. Curtains on lower bunks don't fully cover your bed space. Could add a bit more to the lower roof terraces to make them more social, and maybe more seating at breakfast. There are families living there, which is no problem to me, but I didn't appreciate the little kid screaming "mama mama mama" repeatedly at 7am. Good location also means it's not very quiet - can hear noise from street and dogs barking. Not an issue for me but may be for some.

I have stayed here nearly 3 weeks and it is a fantastic place. I have been resting from an injury, and I couldn't have found a better location. I took a private room with a great view of the lake. The bed is super comfortable, the room, big and airy, helped hugely by the fan in the ceiling and with a private bathroom and a warm shower. The linen is changed regularly and the room and bathroom are cleaned too, with fresh towels provided. Above all, it is the staff that make the experience so good. It feels very homely, welcoming, and authentic. The social space often has music and a very nice chilled vibe. I am a solo traveler and feel very fortuitous to have stayed here. I have made some solid friendships, too I would not stay anywhere else in Pokhara. This really is the best value and most comfortable place to stay

It's super well located, just a few steps by the lake. The best of this hostel is the staff! They always have a very good attitude, and the guy from the reception is always keen to help you either to plan your trekking or by storaging your things while you're in the mountains. I was supposed to stay 1 day, but I stayed 5 because the atmosphere was super nice.

Pillows were the only thing I didn't like, they are too hard and big

We traveled as a family with a 2 year old baby. We booked this accommodation for 3 nights and in the end we stayed 7 days because we felt at home. Everything is very clean, the bed is very comfortable, the breakfast is good and complete, it has a common space where you can relax. What made us stay was the hostel staff, they offered us a better room for the baby for the same price, they offered us everything for our son. We have been very happy and we recommend it 100% Greetings to brother and thank you!!

Simply the best...I have stayed this hostel which i booked from Booking.com. The guys were so friendly and helpful they have dorm and private room (the choice is yours but do not aspect very high its a hostel).The shower was so cool specially HOT WATER. The breakfast is simple but its ok. The location is very good and you can see beautiful lake from your hostel. Even you can buy beer from next shop( the guy will tell you to brink beer and drink in hostel without any service charge just go inside the kitchen and take the glass yourself without asking)

I personally, advice or suggest to Manager or Boss to put some notice board in dorm room (dos and don'ts)

I really enjoyed the friendly staff, who were always welcoming and helpful. The breakfast was excellent. The atmosphere of the property was cozy and relaxing, making it feel like a home away from home. The location was perfect, making it easy to explore the area, and the best part was that it was surprisingly cheap for the quality and service offered.
