First time I tried a hostel and this happened to be the right place😍. Mr.Ashish, Mr.Anish, Mr. Pushkar and the staff were so friendly and very helpful. I actually extended my stay like 2 times. The restaurant area got cozy vibes to relax with a nice hot chocolate😉 It felt like home totally. Rooms are very clean and comfy❤️ You can book all the adventure stuff, domestic flights, taxis and also get guidance on trekking or whatever you wanna know about Pokhara. Mr. Pushkar will even offer to take you on a little tour around Pokhara if you'd like😇

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.

One of my favorite stays in all of Nepal! Clean and spacious room, comfy beds, A/C, warm water in the shower 24/7 & mountain views from room & rooftop bar. The common area is great to meet new people and there is a super tasty breakfast served in the morning. Free filtered water & storage. Lots of activities offered (treks, outdoor sports, walks, yoga etc.) for reasonable prices. We booked the Poonhill Ghorepani Threk (highly recommend) through the Hostel and the owner Suman was super helpful with this - thanks so much, we had a great time! :)

My 2 nights stay ended up a week stay and probably more. It's a family run hostel and they are just super awesome. The Hostel/Guest house is by the lakeside with the benefit of being slightly back. Central but quiet with a view. They have there own restaurant but also kitchen for guest which is important to me as i have a specific diet and prefer to cook myself. It's a must place if looking for a friendly and relaxing space. Do book in advance as they can be booked up but diffinately worth it.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
