This hostel is simply amazing! One of my favorites! The room was very nice, with great views—whether from the balcony or the rooftop. The open bar is a perfect place to meet people or just chill. I was able to borrow everything I needed for my ABC hike, like a sleeping bag and trekking poles. The advice I received was excellent, too. The people working at this hostel are very open, friendly, and genuinely good-hearted. Thank you for everything. Namaste!

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! :)

We had a room for 2 people with balcony - it was very spacious, comfortable and perfectly clean. The restroom was also very spacious. Everything was brand new. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We loved the common space at the last floor with a kitchen, bar and an amazing view over the city and stupa. It was arranged so lovely and tastefully! The hostel is about 10 minutes walk from the turistic side. It is located in a peaceful area, with children playing on the street. I truly recommend this place!

Very laid back atmosphere. Nice room, beds are comfortable and there is hot water. Staff very approachable and friendly. Overal a very relaxed vibe (especially compared to more social hostels), with enough space to chill. And... Sunsets are great from the roof.

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!
