Featuring free WiFi and a restaurant, Kiwi Backpackers Hostel Pokhara offers pet-friendly accommodation in Pokhara, 200 metres from Fewa Lake. The guest house has a barbecue and terrace, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant. Free private parking is available on site.

This is a wonderful space. It's in walking distance of most everything, with a rooftop that many from other hostels came to take advantage of. I loved the community built around breakfast (about four staple meals that rotate, with french toast being my favorite!) to the spontaneous vibe in the hammock area to the shared awe of mountains (when seen) on the roof. I met travelers from all over the world who were thoughtful, conscientious, and open to spontaneous adventure. Not to mention, the staff was very kind. I was worried because I saw a few past reviews mention racism towards Indian-presenting guests, but not only did I face no problems, if anything, I feel like I got extra love for being "almost Nepali!" I also thought the comforter provided warm and cozy, the curtains on the bed providing plenty of privacy, and the personal lights and chargers in great working condition. I always had hot water when I showered, regardless of when I did - 3 am, 8 am, or in the afternoon, sunny day or no. Last but not least, I work remotely and never had a problem with wifi for any of my video meetings.

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.

    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!

    The hotel was cheap but adequate. I didn't see any other guests during my stay so can't comment on the atmosphere or sound proofing of the room. Everything in the room worked - hot shower etc Good views from the roof of the mountains. Two minute walk to the lake. I briefly saw the room staff and they were friendly. The hotel felt safe.

    Maybe the best hostel I've ever stayed, you can see it's very thought through and there are decades of experience what all backpacker and hiker needs, so many places to hangout, receptionists are great and are ready to arrange everything you need and owner is there almost everyday also very friendly and helpful. Bit more expensive than other hostels in Pokhara, but great included breakfast actually makes the price very good.
