Nice hostel with a really good outside area but quit a bit outside of town. But in general a good place to stay at. But it would be so good if there were curtains on the beds.

Chill hostel with a beautiful garden and nice common area. Food is great, but you’ll have to be patient :-) The private cottages with a lake view are very nice and quiet.

If the hostel is bit more clean, it would be much nicer. Everything is good especially the beautiful garden and also working people. Met lots of good friends there. It is very beautiful memories I had there. If I go there in the autumn or spring It will be super. 🙏 Thank you Zostel Pokhara.
