Great hostel in a perfect location to relax on Pokhara Lake. Would definitely recommend paying the extra to get the balcony room but if not in budget the chill out area is really cool too

The building was new and you can see the lake from the dorm’s balcony and living room. However, I made a mistake of walking from the bus station because I made a mistake in the google search. It’s at the far end of the busy shops so better take a taxi or walk for an hour.

Ich habe im Comfort-4 Bett Zimmer übernachtet und war begeistert, was wir für das Geld geboten wird. Weiche Matratzen, kleiner Ventilator am Bett und ein super sauberes modernes Gemeinschaftsbad. Es wird jeden Tag geputzt und durchgewischt. Der Gemeinchaftsbereich ist immer sauber und mit einer Hängematte ausgestattet. Ich kann über das Hostel nichts negatives sagen.

만족스러운 호스텔, BUT 객실 정보 및 사진이 달라 예약이 잘못되었음

청결하고 편안한 호스텔입니다. 믹스도미트리에 숙박했음에도 불구하고 다른 도미트리에 비해 굉장히 조용하고 편안했으며, 정말 그냥 홀로 싱글룸에 있는 느낌이었어요. 룸 바로 앞에 공용테라스가 있어서 다른 여행자들과 자연스럽게 대화하며 친구가 될 수 있는 환경에 바로 호수가 보이는 전경이라 더 좋았습니다. 다만, 호텔스닷컴에 나와있는 사진과 객실정보를 보고 호수전경이 보이는 테라스가 포함된 객실을 예약했는데 다른 객실이 예약되었더라구요. 사진과 객실정보를 정확하게 수정해주시길 바랍니다. 객실에 딸려있는 테라스 때문에 이 호스텔을 예약한 것이었는데 그 점에서는 실패했어요.
