The place is tidy and clean, with a young and dynamic atmosphere. Breakfast is included and is quite nice. I highly recommend the Bunk Bed Dormitory Room—the room is air-conditioned, the bed is comfortable, and the curtain provides privacy. The entire staff is really friendly and welcoming, especially the two guys who manage the place—Anish and Anup. They assist with everything you need and address any issue that arises. Thank you very much, until next time :)

Hostel is quiet compared to the others on the same street, since it is shielded from the traffic by another building. The breakfast is good, and the space encourages people to meet and talk. Popular with trekkers when I was there.

I had a wonderful stay at Good Day Backpacker. The owners are absolutely lovely, and so are their daughters. I was offered some delicious tea several times, which I really appreciated. My room was simple but had everything I needed. It was located upstairs, with access to a shared balcony that had a table, perfect for working online while being surrounded by nature. It was peaceful and quiet, just the way I like it. The location is also ideal: only a 15-minute walk from Lakeside, but far enough to feel like you’re in the countryside. It was just perfect for me. The owners are also working on opening a café, so soon you’ll be able to enjoy breakfast and coffee there — such a great idea! :)

This hostel is amazing! With a beautiful terrace and cafe' on the top floor serving great breakfasts, teas and drinks throughout the day. The place is entirely new, fresh, clean and fully furbished, including fluffy new pillows and duvets, pristine white bedsheets and towels. Each bed in the dorm has very good curtains for privacy, spacious secure lockers and sockets for recharging the phone and space to keep your laptop or a book by the bed. It has the service of a high chain hotel but the prices of a budget backpackers' place. The staff is super-friendly and helpful. I travelled with 2 friends and we arrived extremely tired after a multi-day hike. We were welcomed with tea, got hot showers and felt like totally renewed. The manager helped me change my flights and when the airport was closed due to bad weather, he helped arranging a car to get to Kathmandu, just amazing! The hostel is central, 15 minutes walk to the lake shore, it has shops and restaurants around but it is situated away from the bustle and noise of the main street, which is a great plus. I would stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for a very good place to stay in Pokhara and a great deal.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Nice chilled out hostel with friendly staff. Large common room with places to sit, books to read and a TV sometimes showing sport. Rooms were comfortable. Water refills are available, you can book buses and tours at reception and there is a 'free stuff' area which is always handy for backpackers on a budget. Laundry is 150r per kg for 24 hour turnaround or 250r for six hours.

    Kiwi backpackers is one of the best hostels I have stayed in. Location is great, very central, staff are super helpful and lovely, rooms are clean comfortable and well appointed. I had a private room and it was excellent. General vibe is friendly with lots of opportunities to meet like minded travellers. Special mention to the lovely Maya and Susma.

    Best hostel I stayed in Pokhara, and I tried a few. Very spacious and clean rooms. Super comfortable beds. The owners are always so kind. Great location right in the centre of lakeside Pokhara, the street itself is more quiet which is great since there is not much noise at night. Showers might take a few min before getting warm but there is hot water, which is nice. It was not busy when I stayed there, I had the whole dorm to myself. Ended up staying way longer than planned, because I felt so at home here!
