    Great location! Just a short walk to the lake and surrounded by local eateries. The beds were so comfortable and the hostel had a nice common area for socializing. Loved that they had a projector for movie nights and organized activities. The breakfast was delicious, with different options every day. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and even the owner took us paragliding. The hostel had a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for lazying around or recovering from a hike.

    There were a few minor issues. , if you have a room near the balcony, it can get noisy at night when people are sitting outside.

    The value for money at this hostel is unbeatable, with comfortable and clean rooms at a great price. The location is convenient, close to the bus station and main area of the city. The staff at Backpackers were incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a welcoming environment for all guests.

    The breakfast offerings could be improved by ensuring consistent portion sizes every day.

    We were blown away by the warm and welcoming staff at this hostel. They made us feel right at home and were always there to answer our questions and offer assistance. The rooms were incredibly comfortable, whether we stayed in a deluxe bedroom with a mountain view or a dorm. The showers had excellent water pressure and were always hot, which was a relief in the cold weather. We loved the free water refill station and the chill-out area on the ground floor. Plus, they're planning to set up a rooftop bar, which sounds awesome! We can't wait to come back and stay again.

    We felt completely happy with our stay at this hostel, with no complaints whatsoever.

    What a vibe this place has! Whether you're looking to make new friends, relax, or party, Pokhara Backpackers has something for everyone. The common areas are the best, making it easy to connect with fellow travelers. The rooms are clean and spacious, with comfortable bunk beds and super clean washrooms. The cherry on top is the delicious breakfast served daily, with new varieties every day. The cook is amazing, always with a cute smile.

    This hostel exceeded my expectations in every way. I stayed here for 3 times and loved it. The daily changing breakfast and great coffee were a highlight. The staff went above and beyond, arranging local transportation and providing helpful recommendations. The laid-back atmosphere made it easy to meet fellow travelers. The comfortable rooms and vegetarian restaurant onsite were excellent. The bar area and ample relaxation space were great for socializing or unwinding. Highly recommended!

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    I recently stayed at Backpackers in Pokhara for 4 months and it was the best hostel experience! The beds were incredibly comfortable, the rooms and bathrooms were spacious, and there was always hot water. The location, although not in the main tourist area, was quiet and peaceful, with easy access to the tourist bus station. The staff were exceptional, always helpful and accommodating. The hostel also had a great kitchen with delicious vegetarian meals and plenty of common areas to relax and meet fellow travelers. I would highly recommend this hostel to anyone!

    I can recommend this hostel.

    The BEST free breakfast I’ve ever had at a hostel. Different everyday and always tasty. We had lunch/dinner there a couple of times and all meals were tasty and cheap with huge portions! Big private room - very good value for money.

    Great location and views, friendly and helpful staff. the room was spacious with a good mountain view. the breakfast was tasty. Good cafe area and events organized for meeting other travelers and organizing trekking.

    The room doors don't have a key lock, which can be dangerous. Cleaning is not the best and there's no AC. Lockers are also not big enough.

    the beds were incredibly comfortable, which is a rarity in Nepal. After a long day of trekking, it was a dream to snuggle up in their cozy blankets and pillows. the rooms and bathrooms were spacious and there was plenty of space to secure your belongings. the hostel had great social areas, both in the front yard and back, with a hammock and a projector for movie nights. the location, though a bit away from the main tourist area, was quiet and peaceful, and still within walking distance to the tourist bus station. the owners and staff, particularly Ashish and Dipendra, were always available to help with anything from bus tickets to trekking routes. They were also incredibly friendly and made everyone feel like part of their hostel family. I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting!

    Nothing to mention. 👍.
