    Location wise it's a bit off the night spots.

    Good vibes around the spacious common areas over breakfast or coffee breaks. Can feel the fresh and clean bedsheet/pillow case in the dorm. Able to Sun laundry on the roof top. A fairly good deal with complimentary breakfast. The staff is very friendly, a big shout out to Sam,

    I stayed here nearly two weeks and the staff were nothing but kind and helpful. They were really good when I needed a doctor, the breakfast they made each day (all included in the price!) was amazing, and any queries I had were always met with ease and simplicity. Thanks for a great stay 🤗

    The 12 person dorm has its own bathroom and since the room wasnt full, it wasn't so bad. The AC is nice there so that was worth it. Breakfast is decent. If you're not into the deep fried stuff or breads, they will usually have fruit. Comfortable enough stay but far from the town which can be good because it's quieter but also annoying because when it rains there's no choice but to take a car. Otherwise, the walk is only 15-20 minutes which really isn't a long walk.

    Need to fix the doors in the bathroom to the 12B dorm, as they crash and smash during the night causing annoying loud sounds. Music during the day can be a bit intense and full on. Lower volume and better playlist would be an easy rectification

    Beds dorms in Pokhara, especially the 12 bed. Great helpful staff

    Nothing it was a great stop for travellers!!

    The views from the room were incredible when it was clear. Breakfast was well organised. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Rooms were very spacious and clean. Great value stay - we booked a further for later on in our travels based purely on our experience. Speaking with other travellers in different places turned out a few of us stayed here and all had nothing. It positive things to say about the place.

    I am 40 yrs old and I was bit sceptical at first seeing mostly young people, but it all turend out to be good :) People are very respectful. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean, there is toilet paper in WC, towels and soap! All is sorted out for you if you need bus ticket or if you need to arrange trek/paragliding ect. I truly recommend this place. Great breakfast included in price of the room :) I have slept in this place many times and I can recommend it wholeheartedly.
